Track

Results from the final leg of the 2024 UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup events in Milton ensured that the Belgium men's team pursuit team could not finish below tenth overall in the team pursuit world rankings, and were thus guaranteed a quota in all three men's track endurance events in Paris.[15] The Belgium women's madison team secured a quota for the women's madison and omnium by securing a top 5 place in the 2022–2024 UCI Track Olympic Ranking of NOC's not having obtained a quota via the team pursuit world rankings[16] and two quota for the women's sprint and keirin tournaments by a top 7 place in the 2022–2024 UCI Track Olympic Ranking of NOC's not having obtained a quota via the team sprint world rankings.[17]
