Eighteen events were scheduled: the women's team pursuit being the only addition from the 2007 championships.
As in 2007, the domination of the Great Britain team was clear. Breaking three world records en route, they won eleven medals in total. Indeed, half of the eighteen gold medals on offer were won by the British team.
