The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is launching a new four-sport Olympic qualifier series for Paris 2024. This is an Olympic Agenda 2020+5 project, which was presented today to the IOC Executive Board. The new IOC-led Olympic qualifier series will include four sports – BMX freestyle, breaking, skateboarding, and sport climbing. The series of three festival-style events will bring together the best athletes from each of the four sports in one urban park, as they compete to qualify for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Hosted in compact city centre venues over four days, between March and June 2024, the festivals will offer a new Olympic experience to fans from around the world, blending sport with music, art and culture.
The qualifier series builds on recommendation 6 of Olympic Agenda 2020+5 “Enhance and promote the road to the Olympic Games.” The IOC will work closely with the four partner International Federations – the International Federation of Sport Climbing, the Union Cycliste Internationale, the World DanceSport Federation and World Skate, which will remain responsible for the running of their respective competitions – to use the power of the Olympic brand in order to enhance the exposure of the athletes and their journeys on the road to Paris 2024. These three events will form part of the respective Paris 2024 qualification systems for each sport.

It was an extra swampy day one at Swampfest due to a major storm that rolled through…The show must go on though! Trey and the crew got to work moving ramps into the covered area before the next storm rolls through. Hit play and see how day one went down over at Swampfest.
"After finishing my Welcome to United video in September 2021 myself and Kevin to switch up our breakfast routine. First we headed over to Portugal for some delicious Pasteis de nata with our good friends from the Diversity Crew in Lisboa. Then we headed to England for some Crumpets with butter with the 4Down boys in Hastings and then we finished with the peanut butter topping in London."
