Youth Olympic Games 2010 Singapore
Bulletin N-1 | May 2009

Objective Qualification!



On 16 August 2010, the Olympic Movement will gather together in
Singapore, to celebrate sport for the first Youth Olympic Games,
organised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC )

Cycling will be among the 26 sports featured on the programme of
this major event, which will represent not just a sporting competition.
The Youth Olympic Games will also offer a cultural and educational
programme aimed at bringing together not only the sports movement
but also young people from all over the world, to in the words of the
IOC President, Jacques Rogge, propose to young athletes from all
over the world, a unique and powerful introduction and celebration
of Olympism.

To take part in this big international gathering and to offer your
country the prestige of gaining an Olympic title, initially the first
step is to qualify your athletes. The International Cycling Union
has already sent to you details on the current qualification system,
which is based on the performances of the 2009 season. This first
newsletter gives us the opportunity to remind you of the requirements,
so that you can give yourself every chance to compete in the first
Youth Olympic Games in history.

The Sports Concept

Cycling will have three disciplines on the programme:
Road (Road race and Time-Trial), Mountain Biking and
BMX. Each of the 32 Federations that qualify will line up
a team comprising 3 men and one woman in the Juniors
category. Medals will be awarded to teams and not to
individuals, based on a general ranking produced after
competitions. The participation of athletes in the various
races is as follows:

Men Juniors
Mountain bike - 1 athlete
Road (Time-Trial) - 1 athlete
BMX - 1 athlete
Road race - 3 athletes

Women Juniors
Mountain bike - 1 athlete
Road (Time-Trial) - 1 athlete
BMX - 1 athlete

Qualification System

The qualification system for the Youth Olympic Games is
principally based on two sets of criteria, related to endurance
and performance.

The first (endurance) is calculated based on the final ranking
of the 2009 UCI Juniors Nations Cup.

The second (performance) is calculated based on the nations
ranking for the UCI Mountain Bike and BMX World Championships
for the 2009 season.

It is therefore obviously vital for your athletes to compete in
these events, where their results could enable them to qualify
your country for the Singapore Youth Olympic Games.

For further details on the subject of the qualification system,
please consult the documents that the UCI sent to you last
December. You will also find them on the UCI website or
can obtain them at the address road@uci.ch
