 Taking Up a New Sport | Quarantine Lockdown

Connor told me the idea to do a BMX Quiz, two years ago already.

Day 42. It is now exactly seven weeks since Kai crashed, and we are relieved to say that he is making progress — tiny steps in the right direction. A key step for Kai is he now off the respirator and can breathe by himself unassisted. As he is not dependent on the breathing machinery, it has been possible to move him out of the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and into a high care ward.

Due to the current pandemic of coronavirus (Covid-19), the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) must announce that the last stop of the 2020 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup which were to take place in Rock Hill (United States) on 15 and 16 May will not take place on the scheduled dates. In light of the health situation worldwide which has also affected the United-States, the UCI is fully supportive of the decisions taken by the City of Rock Hill to postpone the event.

Regarding the qualification process for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the UCI BMX World Championships in Houston were initially to be the last event on the UCI International BMX Calendar offering qualification points, since the qualifying period was due to end on 1st June.
