More than nine months later and Van Gorkom today has announced he has officially retired from the sport.

He had been in a coma for two weeks after his accident, which was caused by a chain still being on the bottom of the starting ramp that nobody had removed yet. When he woke up, he couldn't walk, couldn't talk and only had a confused look in his eyes. Nowadays he can walk without any help if it's not too far and he can do some light work on an indoor bike, so he is definitely on the long, long road to recovery and a 'normal life'. Considering the circumstances, it's mostly good news.

UCI BMX Freestyle Park (and Flatland) World Cup: overall winners crowned in Chengdu

 

 

The fourth and final round of the UCI BMX Freestyle Park and Flatland World Cup saw the overall winners crowned in the Chinese city of Chengdu.

The action came just days before the start of the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships which will be held in the same city, and where the BMX Freestyle Park specialists will battle for the rainbow jersey.

 

 

BMX Freestyle Park

 

Top performer in the semi-finals, American Dennis Enarson looked set to win the Chengdu World Cup round after an impressive first run in the finals. However, that was without counting on Australian Jake Wallwork who put in an unbeatable second run to take the victory. Declan Brooks (Great Britain) came third.

 

 

The overall winner of the 2018 UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup is Croatia’s :CRO Marin Rantes, who finishes the season in front of :VEN Venezuelan Daniel Dhers. :USA Nick Bruce completes the overall podium despite a crash in the qualifications in Chengdu preventing him from going any further in the Chinese round of the series.

 

For the third consecutive year, :USA Hannah Roberts is the overall winner of the women’s UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup. The American finished second in the Chengdu round which saw victory go to :GER Germany’s Lara Lessman, 18, who recently won gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lessman finishes the World Cup season in second place overall. :SUISwitzerland’s Nikita Duccarroz was third in Chengdu and third in the overall World Cup ranking.

 

 

 

BMX Freestyle Park qualifications at the UCI Urban Cycling World Championships get under way on Friday, November 10th.

    • I thought the only continental quotas applied in track cycling was for the individual events - the team events were purely based on the rankings list
    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
