Thoughts?
Personally if there were 3 endurance medals I wouldn't know what to pick... team pursuit is one
of the coolest events in the whole olympics, so it would have to be there. drop the omnium which
just sucks (i think), but then what to do with the last two choices? I love watching the madison, so
maybe team pursuit, individual pursuit and madison? or is having two pursuits a little repetitive?

I think they should have the team pursuit, Madison & omnium.
However the omnium should be a team event in which each country can elect a maximum of one rider per event, with riders allowed to ride more than one event if they like. It would not only allow a lot more track riders to ride the Olympics but bring back the importance of the kilo, pursuit & points race as individual events without allocating individual medals. & also mean the pursuit & kilo would matter again at state, nationals & world championships & would mean that track could have a lot more events without increasing the amount of medals.
