Olympic 2020 qualification for Summer Games in four
International Cycling Union (UCI) disciplines is set to be retroactively
stopped as of March 3 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The
UCI said it would ask the International Olympic Committee for qualification in
mountain biking, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, and Para-cycling road to conclude
from that date.
Olympic
admirers from all over the world are called to book Olympic 2020 tickets from
our online platforms for Olympic Tickets. Olympic Cycling enthusiasts can
book Olympic
Cycling Tickets from our ticketing marketplace exclusively on

It
would mean all athletes who are in a qualification spot would be automatically
awarded an Olympic 2020 berth, providing the IOC and the IPC agree to the
request.
In a
statement, the UCI said it had made the decision “to preserve sporting equity
for the athletes” and claimed continuing with the process in the four
disciplines would result in “unfairness between nations”.
The
UCI added that between 60 and 75 percent of the qualifying events in the four
sports had already been completed.
The
date was chosen because no nation had been prevented from travelling to events
before March 3. The request has been presented to the IOC, in order to allow
publication of the Olympic
2020 rankings and quotas of the remaining disciplines as soon as
possible.
Olympic
2020 qualification is also finished in the road, track, and Para-cycling track.
The virus, which has so far killed more than 8,600 people and infected in
excess of 274,000 worldwide, has wreaked havoc on the international sports calendar.
Many
events such as World Championships have been postponed or canceled amid travel
restrictions and Government bans on competitions involving a certain number of
partakers.
The
UCI has also postponed classification rankings on the international calendar
around the world until at least 3rd April.
Faced
with this extraordinary and changing situation we must adapt and take necessary
measures to guarantee, as far as possible, the security of people at our events
as well as sporting equity.
The
challenges we face in light of the current situation require all members of the
cycling family and of the Olympic 2020 movement to be innovative, strong, and
united.
