The semifinals were decided by three runs. The final was decided by the top four finishers in each field. To qualify for the finals, riders must stay at the front of the field and avoid crashes. Mariana Pajon was the defending gold-medalist. Bethany Shriever, Australia's Laura Reynolds, and Axelle Eienne, France, were all able to advance to the finals.
Unofficial status
Many sports have been included in the Olympic Games, both those with official Olympic status and those that don't. In the beginning, there were many demo sports that weren't recognized as Olympic. They were held concurrently with official sports but didn't receive medals. The history of games included anthropology and linguistic days.
14 races were not awarded Olympic medals in the 1900 Summer Olympics. This was due to disagreements within the IOC which determines which Olympic sport is officially recognized. Additionally, unofficial racing took place at these Games. Pigeon racing, kite flying, and cannon shooting were among the events that were not officially recognized.
Three-day Olympic Games
Three-day cycling is an Olympic sport. The competition is divided into three stages: the time trial, the match sprint, and the team sprint. Both the women's and men's competitions feature eight teams made up of four. The competition starts with the qualifying round, where the top four teams are seeded against the others. The top four teams will advance to the final while the rest of the participants are paired based upon their time.
In 1912, the inaugural three-day eventing championship was held. The race was open only to active military personnel and their mounted. It was held over five separate days. The competition started with a 55-kilometer endurance course on the road. It was timed for four hours. The endurance test allowed for a maximum speed of 230 m/h while the cross-country course permitted for a speed limit of 333m/s. Participants who went beyond their time limits were penalized. Speed did not earn any bonus points.
Digital integration
Digital integration is being used in many aspects of the racing competition. A new system developed for the 2012 London Olympics can provide measurement and timing data during races. Swimmers wear wrist transponders. These devices respond to gates placed throughout the racecourse. The accuracy of these time and measurement devices is less than one millisecond. The technology also has the capability to use photo-finish technology to determine the winner when transponder timing is not accurate enough.
Competitions are also using electronic scoring systems. These systems can record real-time scores and display them on electronic scoreboards. Electronic photo-finish technology was also used in the Albertville, France Olympics. Radio transponders can also be used in long distance skiing and cycling events.
Attractiveness
A test measures the attractiveness of racing Olympic athletes. The study examined 1496 racers in order to calculate a racer's average attraction score. The racers received ratings from 118 different evaluators. These evaluators were divided into two genders. Correlation was achieved between the scores of the male and female evaluators.
An analysis of regression shows that racers' performance can be positively affected by attractiveness. These results are similar for both men and women. However, the percentages of A1 racers and A2 racers was significantly lower than that of A2 racers. Moreover, racers with the highest grade were more likely to receive more money, experience the super star effect, and improve their performance.
