Copenhagen, Denmark, on 8th and 9th May, is already confirmed. Their ultimate goal will be the UCI BMX World Championships to be held in Adelaide, Australia from July 23rd to 26th.
Among the BMX trainees are three regulars at the WCC, who, during last year’s camp, qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing: Samantha Cools (Canada), Emilio Falla (Ecuador) and Jenny Fähndrich (Switzerland). They are joined by four other athletes who are also no strangers to the WCC facilities: Yvan Lapraz (Switzerland), Andres Jimenez (Columbia), and two Danish riders who were part of the WCC’s development group last year, Niklas Laustsen and Mette Jaspen. Newcomers to the WCC BMX training facilities this year are Steven Wong (Hong Kong) and Evgeni Komarov (Russia). The participation of several other BMX riders has yet to be confirmed.
