Cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Points Race Women
Men's Points Race at the 2004 Summer Olympics (Cycling at the 2004 Olympics):
| Gold: | Silver: | Bronze: |
| | | Erin Mirabella , USA |
The Women's points race is 100 laps of the velodrome (25 km) with 10 sprints, where points are awarded, plus the opportunity for 20 points if a rider laps the peleton. Riders can also lose 20 points if the peleton laps them. Russian sprinter and 2004 Olympics roads race bronze medallist, Olga Slyusareva, was able to win three of the ten sprints, and place in four other sprints to achieve 20 points. The peleton was able to respond to any breakaways so no riders were able to achieve lap points. Mexican rider Belem Guerrero Mendez with 14 points was awarded the silver medal, closely followed by Maria Luisa Calle Williams from Colombia on 12 points. However, Calle Williams later tested positive for banned stimulant heptaminol, and Erin Mirabella was promoted to the bronze medal position.
