The Olympic Keirin invites 110 of the best sprinters to compete for Olympic glory.
Round 1 invites 60 sprinters from 48 nations to compete across 10 heats. It's winner takes it all, to join 50 pre-qualified sprinters in Round 2.
This gives us 10 more heats of 6 for Round 2. And a slightly more forgiving format, top 3 go through.
Now 30 remain, in 5 heats of 6. Again the top 3 go through, and we'll have some winner takes it all repechages to form the final 18.
This is where it gets serious. Three semi finals, and only the Top 2 will progress to the final.
Heat 1
| AUT | Schorn | Daniel | | SLO | Dzamastagic | Mark | | SRI | Prasad | Darshana | | UKR | Lutsyshyn | Roman | | DEN | Lander | Sebastian | | ALB | Kamberaj | Xhuliano |
So with the first heat let's introduce the format here at the Izu velodrome, with a 4.8km Keirin course.
 Yudai Arashiro has been recruited as our derny, and he will line out our racers at an 80% tempo.
Eventually somebody is going to go for a long attack. And it is the Danish colours of Lander!
Now it all kicks off! Dzamastagic in pursuit.
Can Lander hang on?
He swings wide with the line in view. Prasad, Lutsyshyn and Kamberaj look well poised.
It's between them. And Kamberaj takes it!
| 1 | Xhuliano Kamberaj | Albania | 5'55 | | 2 | Darshana Prasad | Sri Lanka | s.t. | | 3 | Roman Lutsyshyn | Ukraine | s.t. | | 4 | Mark Dzamastagic | Slovenia | s.t. | | 5 | Daniel Schorn | Austria | s.t. | | 6 | Sebastian Lander | Denmark | s.t. |
Heat 2
So you get the idea. And for this first round 1, it is only the winner that counts, for everyone else, the Olympics are over.
| BAH | Major | Jay | | LUX | Losch | Max | | ERI | Afewerki | Elias | | POL | Banaszek | Alan | | SRI | Perera | Madushanka | | COL | Hodeg | Alvaro |
Major goes first!
Losch and Hodeg force Afewerki to chase.
Banaszek and Perera look out of it.
Major starts to buckle, the next 3 are going side by side.
Who?
Hodeg, but only just!
| 1 | Alvaro Hodeg | Colombia | 5'56 | | 2 | Max Losch | Luxembourg | s.t. | | 3 | Elias Afewerki | Eritrea | s.t. | | 4 | Jay Major | Bahamas | s.t. | | 5 | Madushanka Perera | Sri Lanka | s.t. | | 6 | Alan Banaszek | Poland | s.t. |
Heat 3
Some race car shenanigans in those first heats, but that is resolved from now on.
| CIV | Cisse | Issiaka | | SER | Rajovic | Dusan | | CAN | Houle | Hugo | | BLR | Riabushenko | Aliaksandr | | SWI | Page | Dylan | | GRE | Bouglas | Georgios |
It's Canada from the front! Houle was right behind Arashiro and jumps clear.
Cisse responds. It looked like Page and Bouglas were following him, but no, the Ivory Coast rider has bridged solo.
Page paced it, and now storms through the middle!
He surges clear towards the finish
But what power from Lajovic!
Heartbreak for Switzerland, Glory for Serbia. Wimbledon 2019 all over again.
| 1 | Dusan Rajovic | Serbia | 5'36 | | 2 | Dylan Page | Switzerland | s.t. | | 3 | Aliaksandr Riabushenko | Belarus | s.t. | | 4 | Georgios Bouglas | Greece | s.t. | | 5 | Hugo Houle | Canada | s.t. | | 6 | Issiaka Cisse | Ivory Coast | s.t. |
Heat 4
| NZL | Scully | Tom | | GBR | Harrison | Sam | | KAZ | Ovsyannikov | Alexandr | | POR | Coutinho | Lionel | | BRA | Manarelli | Carlos Alexandre | | NED | Wippert | Wouter |
Ovsyannikov takes the initiative.
The response is reluctant, particularly from Wippert and Coutinho.
Somebody has closed the gap though - it's Scully.
The Kiwi rests as first Manarelli then Harrison catch up. Now Scully tries to go again!
But Harrison glides through to take the win, with Wippert just leaving too much to do.
| 1 | Sam Harrison | Great Britain | 5'43 | | 2 | Wouter Wippert | Netherlands | s.t. | | 3 | Tom Scully | New Zealand | s.t. | | 4 | Carlos Alexandre Manarelli | Brazil | s.t. | | 5 | Alexandr Ovsyannikov | Kazakhstan | s.t. | | 6 | Lionel Coutinho | Portugal | s.t. |
Heat 5
| HUN | Lovassy | Krisztian | | ERI | Habtom | Mikiel | | RSA | Gibbons | Ryan | | EST | Räim | Mihkel | | LAT | Liepins | Emils | | MAS | Abdul Halil | Mohamad Izzat Hilmi |
Completing this morning's action in the Velodrome is a race which Lovassy will open
The Baltic states hold the rear positions, as Gibbons takes chase.
Looks like a Scully tactic. He has made it across, but now waits.
Abdul Halil does the same. And now Liepins too. 4 together - what happens next?
Liepins wants it. Räim and Habtom may not get back now.
It's close!
Ryan Gibbons takes it!
It's the first success we see for the 2nd rider to make a move, and his brave tactics paid off.
| 1 | Ryan Gibbons | South Africa | 5'45 | | 2 | Emils Liepins | Latvia | s.t. | | 3 | Mohamad Izzat Hilmi Abdul Halil | Malaysia | s.t. | | 4 | Mikiel Habtom | Eritrea | s.t. | | 5 | Mihkel Räim | Estonia | s.t. | | 6 | Krisztian Lovassy | Hungary | s.t. |
