In both Shanghai and Budapest, the two host cities of the inaugural Olympic Qualifier Series (OQS), athletes from all four OQS sports have leapt headlong into this Olympic year by showcasing their skills around the host cities and giving locals a taste of what to expect during the two-part series. The OQS, a new series of festival-style events combining sport with urban culture, will see 464 athletes competing for the final qualification spots for the Olympic Games Paris 2024. Some 288 of those looking to book their tickets for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 in three of the four OQS sports – breaking, BMX freestyle and sport climbing – have now been confirmed, and are set to compete at the Huangpu Riverside in Shanghai from 16 to 19 May and the Ludovika Campus in Budapest from 20 to 23 June.
