Jenny McCauley seals Olympic place
|
Last season, McCauley and Owens together obtained one place for Ireland in the women�s cross country event at the Olympics. The qualification criteria laid out by Cycling Ireland determined that place would go to whichever of the two achieved the most world ranking points in the World Cup events over the past three weekends. McCauley faired best in each of those races, placing 58th to Owens�s 61st in the first race in Madrid, 60th compared to Owens�s 61st place in Houffalize last week and then 37th to her 45th place today.
McCauley will now join Robin Seymour on the squad for Athens, with two road race places and one possible track place yet to be filled. Seymour was hoping for a good performance today to enhance his chances of getting a good grid position for Athens. He was running 54th in the men�s race today but crashed and had to withdraw.
