Chris NewbyFraser Posted October 8, 2018 Share Although road, mtb and bmx disciplines are being contested at the Youth Olympics in Argentina, we have no SA riders representing the country. Another CSA failure or are there good reasons we have no riders there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted October 8, 2018 Share Although road, mtb and bmx disciplines are being contested at the Youth Olympics in Argentina, we have no SA riders representing the country.

My guess is CSA failure. Underachiever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trance Dance Posted October 8, 2018 Share If a fringe sport like rock climbing can field two contestants, there is no reason why cycling should not be represented. Edited October 8, 2018 by Trance Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted October 8, 2018 Share Aye... A girl in my eldest son's class is there competing in the hurdles (she is in gr10)..last I heard she had to pay her own way there .. (not sure if that changed at all) The hockey girls are there but not the boys and they did qualify. Edited October 8, 2018 by Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Posted October 8, 2018 Share What an absolute disgrace!!! (Is this just again proving the total incompetence of our CSA, or is our governmental sporting bodies also turning a blind eye to these select individuals for political reasons?) don’t tell me potential sponsorship could not have been arraigned.

Shebeen Posted October 8, 2018 Share What the heck is the youth Olympics? A sporting, cultural and education festival. Sounds like a party of note.I see the next one will be in Africa, Dakar was the only city actually interested in hosting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted October 8, 2018 Share Perhaps I'm confusing this with another event. Isn't there a girl from PE going. I forget her name. I read an article in the paper about her representing SA. But Im sure I read an article in the paper about her. Edited October 8, 2018 by Eugene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
