I'm not an expert in vessillology, but i think that it isn't the flag of Switzerland  (It's the official WC site). She have the same flag in every event, so it's a problem in the database or she compete for Swaziland?

It was allways shit, don't worry.

It's also interesting to note that the UCI BMX Freestle World Cup is really only an endorsement of a previous established tour run by a private organization, just like skateboarding.

 

Edit: a organization that - besides mistaking swaziland and switzerland - doesn't apparently knows what's the US flag looks like  neither.

Well, Swaziland has a considerable population of people with European origin (within the African top 15-20 in terms of total number). Still, the odds of them getting BMX athlete are not exactly big.
