Not as bad as when that same IF made the ‘B’ World Championships an Olympic qualifying event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this, men's football? it's because at the world champs many young regulars of the world cup senior races would eventually come back to their age class to try and get some medals (which they're unlikely to get among the senior ranks)... it's to make it fair for them in terms of OQR (not forcing them to take a painful decision...going for youth medals or for a few -but maybe decisive- points in the OQR?) and for UCI to have the best possible U-23 race (with all the best riders in that age class)...

heywoodu 13,504 Posted August 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Fossesholm She ended up competing in the wrong cross-country apparently, since she's one of the world's biggest talents in cross-country skiing instead of cross-country mountainbiking...I thought If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

She needs to try cross-country running, then she will have medals in all three... She would not be the first dual CC Ski/Bike Olympian, though: one of the Czech girls has done both, can’t remember her name. Never near the medals in either, though. Most common solo double is speed-skating / cycling, quite a few have done that. (I’m not counting athletics / bobsleigh crew, extremely common.)

Never near the medals in either, though. Kateřina Nash. She competed at 5 OG (2x Winter in CC Skiing 1998 and 2002 and 3x Summer in MTB Cycling 1996, 2012 and 2016) Another Czech famous for competing at both games is Eva Vrabcová Nývltová (3x Winter in CC Skiing 2006, 2010 and 2014 and Marathon in Rio 2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a certain Brazilian has done the same (Olympics in MTB and XC) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
