Canada's top medal hope in BMX, Samantha Cools, is not attending the test event. After a disappointing Worlds last month, it was decided by the CCA, in consultation with Cools and national BMX coach Tanya Dubnicoff, that it would be better for her to stay in North American, train and attend a number of UCI BMX races in North America before going to Europe next month to race in a SuperCross event. While in Europe, Cools will also go to the UCI Training Centre in Aigle, Switzerland to train on an exact replica of the Beijing course.
Canada is currently sitting eighth in women's UCI BMX rankings, and only the top-8 nations are guaranteed invites to Beijing (there will also be wildcard entries), so the opportunity to enter multiple UCI ranking events in North America and Europe (rather than just the Beijing event) also was a factor in the decision not to send Cools to China. National coach Dubnicoff is in Beijing, videotaping and observing the the event.
