Does this event have priority or the Olympic Rankings?

The Rankings.

 

1 place will go here to the highest placed NOC who doesn't already qualify through the rankings, or who hasn't qualified at one of the continental champs/last year's WC.

BMX Cycling UCI Racing World Championships 2024

 

Women:

1. :USA Alise Willoughby

2. :SUI Zoe Claessens

3. :USA Daleny Vaughn

 

Men:

1. :FRA Joris Daudet

2. :NED Niek Kimmann

3. :FRA Sylvain Andre

 

I missed the race, but based on a +10 seconds finish, I assume :AUS Sakakibara had a fall in the final. Just like :COL Pajon and :GBR Shriever in the semifinal, resulting in a very surprising womens podium.

 

Meanwhile on the men's side a pretty expected podium. I predict we'll see Daudet, Andre and Mahieu represent :FRA in Paris, and it wouldn't surprise me if 2 of them reach the podium there as well. Hopefully 2nd place for Kimmann and semi finals for Brink and Van den Burg are enough to secure a 2nd quota in the ranking. Unlucky tournament for :GBR with White also falling in the final.

:NED are all but guaranteed a 2nd quota on the men's side.

 

The fight for the final double quota spot will come down to :GBR v :USA. Will be interesting to see the next rankings list when it comes out on Tuesday to see whether the gap between the two nations is small enough for GB to move into 8th place after the Europeans at the end of the month.

 

Agree this has been a pretty poor World Champs for :GBR - not because Whyte didn't perform in the final, but Isidore crashed out in the 1/8 finals and Ross Cullen couldn't even make it out of the repechage.

No fall for Sakakibara, she started decently, but got swallowed up in the first turn and basically was out of it from then on. Pajon fell indeed, Shriever fell but was already out of contention when she did.

It's a disappointing time when :NED needs a good result just to secure a 2nd quota...

No se enamoró de Sakakibara, ella comenzó decentemente, pero fue absorbida en el primer turno y básicamente quedó fuera de juego a partir de ese momento. De hecho, Pajón cayó, Shriever cayó, pero ya estaba fuera de competencia cuando lo hizo.

Impossible to predict the podium in women's BMX racing. 

 

Sakakibara has a hard time in the big events, Shriever seems not to be in good condition, Willoughby reappears, Mariana Pajón was solid but fell in the semis. a coin toss!

And now since her injury earlier this year, Laura Smulders doesn't seem to have 'it' for now. Of course it is BMX though, there's always going to be tons of potential winners, even more so in the men's event :d

      Short Track Speed Skating ISU World Tour 2024 - 2025

      By heywoodu · Posted

      To be fair, the only way to make the qualifying day shorter is by allowing fewer athletes and I really don't think that's a good trade-off for the sport. Qualifying day can be the biggest spectacle one can imagine, it's still not going to draw amazing viewing numbers anyway, since it's basically just laying the foundation for the weekend.   Ice resurfacing definitely takes a while if done properly, if pushing it they could maybe get it done just under 15 minutes or so. I'm a little afraid it goes the way of athletics, where things are pushed more and more into ever shorter formats. Shorttrack days and sessions can only realistically be made shorter if they spread a World Cup out over 4 instead of 3 days, but it's not like Thursday is going to be a massive audience day.

      I wish the ISU would make each of the sessions shorter… they all last between 3-5 hours (and sometimes 10 hours with the qualifying sessions) and me personally I find it highly annoying and unnecessary, because there’s so many breaks in between (for ice resurfacing it’s understandable, but it doesn’t take the 15-20 minutes long breaks to do it…)

      The only thing I can think of that has gotten in the way can be geo-restrictions, like the Fridays being available on YouTube, but not the Saturdays and Sundays, preventing new people from really getting into it. Somehow I doubt a new format means it will be made more welcoming for new viewers though...

      But what can be improved? Broadcasting has for years already been excellent, with races that are quite clear to follow and fine graphics that have all we need. How is "Suzanne Schulting for the Dutch Lions!" instead of "Suzanne Schulting from the Netherlands!" going to make it a better 'broadcast product'?

      I do think we need a rethink of how short track is packaged as a broadcast product given how little money is involved. Pretty hard to make a living in that sport.

      Finals are set    An all-Canadian final on the women’s side, as Team Homan looks to win their third title of the season (and improve to 18-1) against a hungry Team Einarson who have had a less than ideal start to the season, they were also the last Canadian team to beat Homan over a year ago (same event coincidentally), while on the men’s side it’ll be a battle between Olympic medalists as Team Mouat goes against Team Gushue!
