BMX Freestyle: Paris 2024 qualifying procedure revealed

The last and most modern Cycling discipline, BMX Freestyle has had its qualification system for Paris 2024 announced.

BMX Freestyle

BMX Freestyle has two events: a Men’s and Women’s Park event. Both have twelve quotas at the Games, up from nine in 2020: at most two per NOC per gender. The systems are the same for both genders. Six places will be earned at the 2024 Olympic Qualifier Series (dates and locations TBC), while two will be earned at the 2022 UCI Urban Cycling World Championships (Abu Dhabi, UAE, 9-13 Nov 2022), prioritising athletes from continents that didn’t earn a place at the OQS (meaning that we will not know exactly who has gained those quotas until nearly two years after the event). With a similar rule in place, three places will be earned at the 2023 UCI World Cycling Championships (Glasgow, GBR, 3-13 Aug 2023), with the final place going to the host nation. This is a departure from 2020’s mostly ranking-based system.

In 2020, we earned one spot per gender, but now two may be a possibility in at least one gender (most likely Women) with the amount of NOCs earning two spots increasing.

Athletics is the only sport we are waiting on before we have a full set of Paris 2024 procedures.
