Cycling at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics

1

Cycling at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics was held from 17 to 22 August. The event took place at The Float at Marina Bay for the road cycling and at Tampines Bike Park for the BMX and mountain biking.

Format

There was one event held, a combined mixed-gender team event with sub-events in the disciplines of bicycle motocross (BMX), road cycling and mountain biking. Each team consisted of three boys and one girl, with the three boys required to compete in one discipline each (BMX, MTB and road time trial) while the girl had to compete in all three disciplines. All male riders also had to compete in the road race.

Qualification

The qualification system for the Youth Olympic Games is principally based on two sets of criteria, related to endurance and performance. It is therefore obviously vital for the athletes to compete in these events, where their results could enable them to qualify the country for the Singapore Youth Olympic Games.
