The Women\u2019s Commission has participated in projects such as the creation of the UCI Women\u2019s WorldTour and the equalisation of prize money across the different disciplines.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAware that this Commission needed support from all spheres of cycling, the UCI has appointed at least one woman to all its sports Commissions since 2017. The benefits of this are two-fold:\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cp\u003Eensuring a certain gender balance in the discussions of Commissions;\u003C/p\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cp\u003Epromoting a constant exchange of information between the Women\u2019s Commission and all other Commissions.\u003C/p\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003C/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter the excellent increase of the women position in our sport, the UCI Women\u2019s Commission was removed in 2021 and more women have been added on the different sports Commission to ensure the development are continuing in each discipline.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESeveral women now occupy managerial posts within the UCI administration, including the UCI Director General.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe UCI has also increased staffing levels for women\u2019s cycling projects, and thanks to this, more attention is now paid to the global communications plan for women\u2019s cycling, across all disciplines. Exciting projects continue to be developed and are revealed as they see the light of day.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe fact that there is the same number of medals and quotas for men and women in cycling at the summer Olympic Games is a demonstration that women are already held in high esteem in our sport. Across our five Olympic disciplines \u2013 Road, Track, Mountain Bike, BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle \u2013 the women\u2019s competitions are intense and exciting, attracting incredible media attention and large crowds of fans.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOur other disciplines \u2013 Para-cycling, Cyclo-cross, Trials and Indoor Cycling \u2013 also enjoy strong participation from women, and our UCI World Champions fly the flag high for their sport.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe UCI is also committed to ensuring that there is a large pool of talented young women riders from all continents ready to take over from the current elite. Many young women athletes train at the UCI World Cycling Centre (WCC) in Aigle, Switzerland. Each year, promising riders from different disciplines benefit from expert coaching and advice that help them rise to the highest possible level. A number of the UCI WCC\u2019s former trainees have gone on to shine at UCI World Championships and Olympic Games, not least track cyclists such as Great Britain\u2019s Victoria Pendleton (double Olympic Champion \u2013 2008 and 2012 \u2013 and nine world titles), China\u2019s Guo Shuang (four Olympic medals \u2013 2008 and 2012 \u2013 and 2009 UCI Keirin World Champion) and Lisandra Guerra, from Cuba, who was UCI 500m Time Trial World Champion in 2008. UCI WCC trainees have also excelled in the BMX discipline: Stefany Hern\u00E1ndez (Venezuela) was crowned UCI World Champion in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, in 2015, one year after Dom\u00E9nica Azuero Gonz\u00E1lez, from Ecuador, won the Junior UCI BMX World Championships in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Stefany Hern\u00E1ndez also went on to win bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe growing number of Elite women athletes and the increased opportunities for women\u2019s racing should be reflected in the number of women working in cycling professions. The UCI WCC organises further courses for coaches. These qualified coaches can now provide expert coaching advice to young athletes in their own countries, thus raising the level of women\u2019s cycling even further.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo encourage more women to complete the UCI WCC training course for Sport Directors, the UCI has offered scholarships to the majority of the participants in the course every year since 2016.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs the development of women\u2019s cycling forges ahead, the UCI is continuing its work to bring the sport to even greater heights.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this regard, the UCI has created a\u00A0\u003Ca href=\u0022//assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/40B287PoxV8Oaf15Qa7IWf/d049897a0b80062581b94e8ca492debf/2019-uci-women-toolkit-eng-web.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022blank\u0022\u003EWomen in Cycling Guide\u003C/a\u003E\u00A0to help the National Federations to develop actions and strategies for the development of women cycling in their country.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGender equality is one of the pillars of the UCI 2022 agenda and, in this perspective, two charters have been put in place concerning the\u00A0\u003Ca href=\u0022//assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/2V8n15ueigQCHhlN03Tx2b/f91d09663cf22f17ddc5146e62518718/gender-equality-charter-uci-award-ceremonies-policy.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022blank\u0022\u003Eaward ceremonies of the UCI World Championships\u003C/a\u003E\u00A0and\u00A0\u003Ca href=\u0022//assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/slhs17hF9RU6DUxBA0giP/783a61466c51cfa9adbdf33a94a3b3cc/gender-equality-charter-uci-administration-policy.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022blank\u0022\u003Egender equality within the UCI administration\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E","contact":{},"anchorTag":"a-deserved-place-for-women-s-cycling","downloads":[{"title":"UCI WOMEN IN CYCLING -
