2024 had an event or two on the calendar. From the regular C1 events to national championships to continental championships and UCI World Champs, but 2024 also had two Olympic Qualifier Series on the agenda and the Olympic Games. For Park riders it was a busy year. With the events listed on the UCI International calendar riders know they can score ranking points. After 12 months of collecting points left and right the standing looked as follows. We only list the top 20 where hundreds more competed this past year. So making it to this list means the riders didn't do too bad. Points do count towards nation rankings (top 2 riders' scores count for that) which qualifies quota spots for events like the continental championships and world championships. So even if there is no big prize at the end of the season, it still matters to do well. Also it guarantees you (top 72-ish) a participation spot at the UCI World Cups. Anyway, if you're competitive, a look at Tuesday's update of the ranking is interesting. Participating at more events on the UCI International calendar helps move up. Sitting around doing nothing does not. Points fall off the table after 12 months. But anyway, 2024 was the year of Jose Torres and Hannah Roberts. Their Olympic medals sure helped with that.
