Track Cycling at Full Speed: Cottbus Hosts the U19 and U23 European Championship
In July 2026, international track cycling returns to the Lausitz Velodrom when the European Championship for U19 and U23 kicks off in Cottbus. Six days of competition, 44 events, and a field of around 350 athletes from more than 30 nations promise a summer filled with sprint power, tactics, and excitement on the fast wooden track.
When Millimeters Decide Medals
Track cycling thrives on explosive starts, close drafting, and precise timing. In the cycling stadium of the Cottbus Sports Center, young talents from all over Europe meet, eager to showcase their abilities at the highest level. In disciplines such as sprint, keirin, individual pursuit, omnium, or madison, not only pure performance matters, but also the clever racing system, perfect positioning, and the courage to attack.
Cottbus as a Stage for Young Talent
That Cottbus is once again the host of these championships aligns with the sporting DNA of the city. The sports center is one of the most modern facilities in Brandenburg, featuring a cycling stadium, Olympic base, sports school, and good transport links, providing ideal conditions for international championships.
