The road to the Olympic Games

The womens road cycling event at the London Olympic Games will be interesting. It is likely that Pia Sundstedt will be the first ever Finnish woman to qualify. She needs to be among the top 100 in the UCI ranking on May 31, 2012.

UCI Qualification system:

"Each NOC with an athlete among the first 100 in the UCI world individual ranking of 31.05.2012 will receive one place."

Here is the development of Pia Sundstedt's UCI points and ranking, currently #82. The red line shows the UCI ranking (left) and the blue line the UCI points (right). The black dots show the points earned on the actual dates when the races were held. Read all about the races at Pia's blog.
