UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Women's sprint

The UCI Track Cycling World Championships – Women's sprint is the world championship sprint event held annually at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships. First held in 1958, the event was dominated until 1980 by Soviet cyclists. From 2000, the event came under German, French and British sway. Galina Yermolayeva and Galina Tsareva of the Soviet Union, and Victoria Pendleton of Great Britain have each won this event on six occasions, the most by any cyclist. French sprinter Félicia Ballanger's five successive victories is the most consecutive titles by an athlete.
