Cycling At The 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's Madison
The men's madison event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 7 August 2021 at the Izu Velodrome. 32 cyclists (16 teams of 2) from 16 nations competed. Background This was the 4th appearance of the event. It was held from 2000 to 2008, then dropped for 2012 and 2016 due to there being no women's equivalent. The event was returning in 2020 with a new women's counterpart. The reigning (2008) Olympic champions were Juan Curuchet and Walter Pérez of Argentina. The reigning (2020) World Champions were Lasse Norman Hansen and Michael Mørkøv of Denmark. Russia, Germany, China, Great Britain, Australia, and the Netherlands are traditionally strong track cycling nations. Qualification A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter up to 1 team of 2 cyclists in the madison. Quota places are allocated to the NOC, which selects the cyclists. Qualification is entirely through the 2018–20 UCI nation rankings. The 8 top nations in the team pursuit rankings automatically qua ...

Japan Standard Time
, or , is the standard time zone in Japan, 9 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+09:00). Japan does not observe daylight saving time, though its introduction has been debated on several occasions. During World War II, the time zone was often referred to as Tokyo Standard Time. Japan Standard Time is equivalent to Time in South Korea, Korean Standard Time, Time in North Korea, Pyongyang Time (North Korea), Time in Indonesia, Eastern Indonesia Standard Time, Time in East Timor, East-Timorese Standard Time, Time in Palau, Palau Time, and Yakutsk Time (Russia).
