Track Cycling Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

The results from the 3rd and final Nations Cup have now been included in the UCI Track Cycling rankings but it is a bit like going from comedy to farce.

 

Last week I thought the reason for the delay was that the Olympic Ranking was only going to count the 2 best results from the Nations Cup series but this week's ranking is including all 3 results.

Can't get my head around some of the latest ranking points totals from UCI.

 

Was there an issue with the Chinese men's team pursuit at the world champs? I thought they had finished 10th so would get 1350 points but UCI don't seem to have included in their total.

 

In the latest ranking, UCI have China dropping 3 places to 14th and still have GBR in an Olympic qualifying position but I think China should be in 10th with GB in 11th. :mumble:

There is a coeficient for points in Track Cycling and also a limitation of events. Though, I don't know if it is the reason.

 

I would not be surprised if there is any mistake there, UCI has already made it haha

Happy to see that someone at the UCI has figured out how to work the office calculator and China have been credited with the world championship points for the men's team pursuit in the latest release of the world rankings. This takes them up to into the final qualifying spot ahead of Team GB.

 

This should be the last Olympic ranking update until the Nations Cup / Continental Championships kick off next year.

Article in Wikipedia says that Olympic ranking will be closed "at the end of 2024 UCI Track Cycling World Championships" in 15th April next year, but World Championships are scheduled to take place in... mid-October. So, which event(s) will be counted as last to ranking? A World Cup? Continental Championships?

There are 4 ranking events left taking place from Jan-Apr next year - Continental Championships (Points factored at 0.75) and three Nations Cups - Adelaide, Hong Kong & Milton (Points factored at 1.0) 

 

Teams will count their scores from the continental champs and their 2 best results from the nations cups. 

 

So each nations final ranking point total will comprise of:

2x Continental Champs

1x World Champs

2x Best Nations Cup 2023

2x Best Nations Cup 2024

Presumably GBR are going to have to pull up a few trees to sneak in in the Team pursuit...

    • Amundsen sick and Will not continue the tour
    • They've been recognised by the IOC since 1995.
    • It’s also interesting, and I only noticed it a few minutes ago, that World Netball has made it on to the list of International Sports Federations Recognised by the International Olympic Committee.   That’s an important and essential step if you want your sport to be considered for inclusion at the Olympic Games. It means the IOC is happy with things like your governance amd development of the sport.   It may or not be at 2032, but I’ve gotta say Netball are on the road to play a future Olympic Games. 
    • Jan Zachara (96) The oldest living Slovak olympic champion. Helsinki 52 Boxing.   RIP  
    • It was more than just “draw a circle on a map”.     They had to put a detailed submission in to the Olympic Programme Commission and then have meetings with them to put the case forward for inclusion.   World Lacrosse are also on the list of IOC-recognised international sporting federations, just like Squash and Flag Football which were also added to the LA2028 Olympic Games, along with Baseball/Softball.  They all put detailed submissions in.   Here is the link: International Sporting Federations Recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).   So why is Rugby League not on that list?     Why is Rugby League not even recognised by the IOC?   It’s not going to be gifted to them.   Rugby League has got a lot of hard work to even be recognised because they are not even listed as an IOC-recognised international sporting federation.     If you’re not on that list, you don’t get to have your sport play at the Olympic Games   For info, the international governing body for rugby league is the International Rugby League.    Has the International Rugby League even contacted the IOC and/or put together a submission to have the sport included at the Olympics?   I don’t know if they have or not.     
    • I wouldn't say there's no chance at all but if World Netball had better leadership they'd be in a much better position than they currently are.
    • Men have only been included in the FAST5 Netball World Series since 2022 and only because they're desperate to get into the Olympics so they've belatedly started building the men's international game.   Not so long ago in 2018 the World Netball outrageously declared that international netball will remain female only bucking the trend of all the other sports federations moving towards gender equality.   Imagine if they hadn't spent decades sabotaging the growth of the men's game in order to keep it "female only"? They'd have been in a much better position to bid for inclusion in the Olympics at least for 2032.
    • BDE Ágnes Keleti Z”L who considered the greatest influence on Israeli artistic gymnastics the 2nd most decorated Olympic Jewish athlete, and I guess our Hungarian friends will have more to add on her, unfortunately passed away at the Age of 103 close to her 104th birthday.
