Olympic record progression track cycling – Men's 1 km time trial
This is an overview of the progression of the Olympic track cycling record of the men's 1 km time trial as recognised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).[1]
The track time trial was already at the 1896 Summer Olympics, but it was the only time the event was held over one-third of a kilometre rather than one kilometer. The men's 1 km time trial was introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics and was discontinued after the 2004 Summer Olympics. Strangely, the list of Olympic records from the UCI starts in 1980.
