The cyclists from 38 countries including three female cyclists from Azerbaijan took part in the World-class track cycling.

Azerbaijani cyclist Olga Ismayilova took the third place at the first stage of the competition among five cyclists. Leaving behind cyclists from Poland and Spain, Olga won the ticket to the semi-final.
