2016 UCI Olympic Qualification Ranking Nations, after Manchester. Elite Women.
Latvia moved up a spot without having Maris Strombergs in Manchester at UCI BMX SX WC round two. Renaud Blanc's third place finish helped Switzerland gain a position on the Olympic Qualifying ranking pushing Canada to rank 10. Not all that many position changes but Germany gained a position as did Norway and Belgium. With riders getting injured this list could look different after Papendal (UCI BMX SX WC Round 3, 7-8 May). Papendal will be the last World Cup before the World's/Olympics.
