Madison is a two-man point race. In this event, athletes compete in 200 laps over a total distance of 50 kilometres, scoring points every 10 laps based on the order in which they finish. If you come in first, you get five points. Second place is worth 3 points, third place 2 points, fourth place 1 point, and so on. Crossing the finish line in first place on the final leg is worth 10 points. Shin Dong-in and Kim Yuro had accumulated 48 points by the 19th leg and seemed to have the gold medal in sight, ahead of second-placed Japan (44 points).However, Japan took 10 points for finishing first in the final leg, leaving Korea tied on six points.
