If you're all about numbers, you'll like the fact that for the first time ever at a UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup there were enough Women entering the event to have a semi-final as the next phase. 38(!) Women signed up for the first Olympic Qualifying event in Chengdu which is an amazing number considering 5 girls entered the very first World Cup only a couple of years ago. With the growing number also comes progression of the riding. 24 Women made it to the semi final and good eyes will notice Caroline Buchanan's 4th place finish in her first UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup event.
