Brian Cookson persists and signs. The president of the International Cycling Union pleaded, Wednesday April 9, for the entry of disciplines such as BMX and cyclo-cross into the program of the Winter Olympic Games. Cyclocross competitions “take place during the northern hemisphere winter and provide equal medal opportunities for men and women. The costs of infrastructure and installation of a circuit are minimal and the rule of first to cross the finish line is simple", he suggested on the occasion of the SportAccord Convention in Antalya/Belek, in Turkey. Likewise, the British leader suggests that BMX would also be a discipline which could “enrich” the Winter Games program, because it is pleasant for young people and easy to organize.
