Cycling at the 2008 Summer Paralympics – Women's individual pursuit (LC 3–4/CP 3)

The Women's individual pursuit (LC 3–4/CP 3) cycling event at the 2008 Summer Paralympics was a track cycling event for female athletes with lower limb impairments (LC 3-4) or cerebral palsy (CP 3). The event was held at the Laoshan Velodrome in Beijing.

The LC3-4 category encompassed cyclists with varying degrees of lower limb impairment, allowing them to use bicycles. CP3 category was for cyclists with moderate cerebral palsy affecting their movement and coordination. The combined class meant that athletes from both impairment groups competed against each other, with the competition aiming to determine the fastest individual pursuiter across both categories.

In individual pursuit, two cyclists start on opposite sides of the track and attempt to catch each other. If neither rider is caught, the rider with the fastest time after the specified distance wins. The distance for this particular event was likely 3km, though specific details require verification from archived Paralympic data.

The event involved a qualifying round, where each cyclist rode individually against the clock to determine their ranking. The fastest riders from the qualifying round then progressed to the medal rounds (typically semifinals and finals) to compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals. Results were determined by head-to-head matchups, based on qualifying times.
