The Madison is a track cycling classic, raced in pairs but with only one rider per team actively in the race... a big swing of the arm, before moving slowly around the upper part of the track until it's time to swap back in.
The race is decided on points, with sprints scheduled every 10 laps, and big bonuses on offer for lapping the field.
Great Britain won the women's title at the last Olympics in Tokyo... but the French pairing of Benjamin Thomas and Thomas Boudat will be roared on inside the velodrome.
NBC holds the broadcasting rights for the Olympic Games in the USA... The Olympics will be shown across several of the broadcaster's television channels, and also on the network's streaming service, Peacock.
