How to watch live in Australia and access the full program
The opening Olympic Qualification Series The final leg is Budapest, which is scheduled to begin on Thursday at the Ludovika Campus. ÖQS Budapest 2024 The event will be streamed live in Australia
Over 150 Olympic quotas for Paris 2024 in four sports – BMX Freestyle, Break, Skateboarding And Sport climbing – will be concluded after the OQS in Budapest and several Australian athletes will be looking to claim some of them.
The OQS will award 20 Olympic spots in breakdancing and 38 in sport climbing. In BMX freestyle cycling, a total of 12 Olympic quotas for Paris 2024 will be awarded, and the points achieved at the OQS will have a decisive influence on which 88 skateboarders make it into the final selection for the upcoming Summer Games.
Since National Olympic Committees have sole responsibility for representing their respective teams at the Olympic Games, athletes’ participation in Paris 2024 will depend on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation.
There were some fantastic Australian performances at last month’s Shanghai leg, with teenage prodigy Arisa Trew the star of the show as the 14-year-old beat Japanese Tokyo 2020 silver medallist Hiraki Kokona and reigning Olympic champion Yosozumi Sakura to win the women’s park skateboarding event there.
Currently ranked second in the rankings behind Hiraki, Arisa is almost certain to make it, but he will hope to break through with another dominant performance in Budapest.
Ruby Trew, who is not related to Arisa, is ranked sixth in the world and also has a good chance of securing a women’s park quota. Each NOC can only secure three quota places per gender per event.
In men’s park skateboarding, reigning Olympic champion Keegan Palmer, who finished second in Shanghai, is close to defending his title, while fellow Australians Kieran Woolley and Keefer Wilson are also comfortably placed.
Ash Wilcomes is just outside the cut-off but can help Australia secure all three possible quotas thanks to his strong performance in Budapest.
2023 X Games gold medalist Chloe Covell is fourth in the women’s road standings after her eighth-place finish in Shanghai. Liv Lovelace and Felicity Turner are also chasing quotas in this division.
Tokyo 2020 gold medalist Logan Martin is second in the men’s BMX freestyle after his second place in Shanghai. Martin’s fellow BMX Olympian Natalya Diehm will need to put in a solid performance in Budapest to move up from ninth place into the top six.
The Budapest stage will also be the last chance for Australian B-Boys and B-Girls and sport climbers to secure quotas for Paris 2024.
