Editing Track time trial (section)

== Men &ndash; 1000&nbsp;m time trial ==
At the [[UCI Track World Championships]], the distance for senior men is 1000&nbsp;m, hence the event's alternative name, the 'Kilo', short for kilometre. Junior men also race 1000&nbsp;m. Being such a short, high-intensity event, the kilo is popular with riders who specialise in the [[sprint (cycling)|sprint]]. The Kilo time trial was removed from the Olympics programme after 2004 to make way for [[BMX]] racing. This led to a number of Kilo riders, most notably [[Chris Hoy]], to begin focusing on other sprint events.

This event is a race against the clock from a standing start over 1000&nbsp;m. Most indoor tracks are 250&nbsp;m in length, so a kilo is usually held over four laps.  Other common track lengths are 167&nbsp;m (six laps), 333&nbsp;m (three laps) or 400&nbsp;m (2.5&nbsp;laps).  Riders will keep to the black line at the bottom of the track to ensure they have to cover the least distance over the 1000&nbsp;m. Riders usually only get one attempt to set a time, and the winner of the event is simply the rider to post the quickest time.

A fast time at the elite level is around 1&nbsp;minute 5&nbsp;seconds.

The world record is 55.433&nbsp;seconds (64.943&nbsp;km/h), set by [[Jeffrey Hoogland]] in 2023 at the Aguascalientes Velodrome in [[Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes|Aguascalientes, Mexico]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Jeffrey Hoogland smashes long-standing men's 1km time trial world record|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/67282350|work=Cycling News|access-date=1 November 2023}}</ref>
