Can someone please explain the sprint progression to me.  We just had 8 heats of the 1/16 round with 8 winners going to the 1/8 round.  But the losing riders go to a repechage to have a chance to compete in the 1/8 round, too?  Doesn't that throw the numbers off?

The naming of the rounds only make sense in the sense that 1/32th final means you still have a 1/16th, 1/8th and so on finals.

 

1/32th final: 12 heats, winners move on. 4 repechage winners also move on.

1/16th final: 8 heats, winners move on. 4 repechage winners also move on.

1/8th final: 6 heats, winners move on. 2 repechage winners also move on.

1/4th final onward: best of three, no repechage.
