Mountain Bike Cycling Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Meaning that Netherlands now gets the quota (or probably not), after that we have Austria.

 

Btw, South Africa won't even be send a woman to the World Championships this year in mountain bike, because nobody met the criteria. Chances for someone to get selected for Olympics despite everything should be like zero.

Netherlands in 2012 refused quota for that girl, it would be cruel to do it once again

That's right, but it's very unlikely though. In 2012 they qualified on merit and still didn't get selected. Quite unlikely that they will accept a reallocation now.

 

And, as heywoodu said before, all Dutch athletes are aware about what they have to do to get selected. So every Dutch female mountain bike athlete knows there's no chance to get selected after they failed to qualify.

it's still unfair because she doesn't have other 2 enough strong riders to help her

I'm so happy to announce that UCI has updated the qualification list.

 

Netherlands declined one of the male quotas, Sweden declined it's men's quota while New Zealand and South Africa declined the women's quota...

 

Quotas went to :GBR Great Britain in men's (next best nation) and :NAM Namibia in women's (next best from Africa). The other two quotas went to tripartite commission which awarded quotas to :LES Lesotho (men's) and :TLS Timor-Leste (women's). :thumbup::woot:

    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
