Seen the Qualification document, which highlights the OQS, which has been well trailed.  Does anyone know whether this has any pre-qualification, like Breaking?  Not seen any detail on the UCI site or anywhere else.

With the 2022 World Cup season completed I've run a quick projection for BMX Racing qualification based on current world rankings.

 

Men

3 Riders:  

2 Riders:   

1 Rider:     

 

Compared to Tokyo 2020, the Netherlands be down 2 riders whilst USA and Ecuador would be down 1.  

 

Colombia, Australia, Germany and Great Britain would gain 1 rider. 

 

Women

3 Riders:  

2 Riders:   

1 Rider:     

 

Compared to Tokyo 2020, Russia would lose their 2 riders whilst USA, Australia, New Zealand and France would lose 1 rider. 

 

Japan would qualify by right rather than having to rely on the host nation allocation.  As with the Men's event, Colombia and Great Britain would both gain an additional berth in the event whilst Switzerland would be the big gainers, picking up additional 2 riders.

 

6 other places will be allocated via continental/world championships in '23 and '24
