OLYMPIC GAMES PARIS 2024 CYCLING (MOUNTAIN BIKE)

THE APPEAL FILED BY JITKA ČÁBELICKÁ (CZECH REPUBLIC) IS REJECTED

Paris, 26 July 2024 - The CAS Ad hoc Division for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has issued its final decision in the following matter:
CAS OG 24/08 Jitka Čábelická (IFA) v. Czech Cycling Federation (CCF) & Czech Olympic Committee (COC)
Jitka Čábelická (CZE) challenged the decisions of the CCF and the COC with respect to the nomination of athletes for the Women Elite category of cross-country mountain biking discipline at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and requested the CAS ad hoc Division to rule that the CCF and the COC did not comply with the applicable nomination criteria and to rule that the CCF and the COC be obliged to reconsider the nomination for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris for the discipline of cross-country mountain biking in the Women Elite category and ensure the nomination of Ms. Jitka Čábelická for that event.

The Panel of arbitrators composed of Ms Carine Dupeyron (FRA), President, Prof. Roberto Moreno (PAR), and Dr Heiner Kahlert (GER) rejected the appeal just a couple of hours prior to the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. Due to the urgency of the case, only the operative part of the award was notified; the full award with grounds will be published at a later date.
