Brian Cookson, the president of the International Cycling Union (UCI), is already looking towards the 2024 Games. Present this week in Lausanne on the occasion of the SportAccord Convention, the Briton explained to Associated Press that he was hopeful that the Summer Games in 2024 would allow track cycling events to regain their former glory. The discipline was represented by 12 events in Athens in 2004. There are only 10 left in the program for the Rio 2016 Games. “Why couldn't we regain the place we had until 2004, and even win women's events on the track? », suggests Brian Cookson. The UCI president claims to have already discussed the future of the track with the bid teams from Budapest, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome.
