In track events, if there are a large number of participants, the preliminary, semi-finals and finals with 8 participants can be held first, and the final result will be the final ranking result. The track race must be played in a counterclockwise direction. The number of passes is determined by drawing lots. The starting device must be used at the first start of the road race and relay race.
