Its the one with 6 different events (Flying lap, Points race, Elimination, Individual pursuit, Scratch race, Time trial) over 2 days.
Each event you get 1 point for coming first, 2 for second etc. Whoever has the lowest points at the end of the 6 event wins.
The first 3 of those are on tomorrow in the mens.

Lots of amazement in the Olympic community this morning when they saw the stadium completely full from 8am, normally the first few sessions in past Olympics have always only been 15% full, not surprised in the least really
