The field was meant to go from 40 to 30, however, an unprecedented amount of athlete withdrawals from competition meant it was only four athletes leaving the field.
On the men’s individual side, Stas Solodov and Roman Khrennikov were unable to make it to Madison, while Aleksandar Ilin, Sam Steward, Seam Sweeney and Adrian Mundwiler all medically withdrew from the competition.
The female field started without Bethany Shadburne and Kari Pearce, both of whom tested positive for COVID-19, Svetlana Kubyshkina who was unable to make it to Madison, and Larissa Cunha who failed a pre-competition drug test. Their field was later further reduced with Kara Saunders and Dani Speegle medically withdrawing from the competition.
