Paralympic medalist Lauro Chaman won Brazil’s second bronze in the Belgian stage of the World Cup, in the city of Ostend and, to boot, took the lead in the world ranking, getting closer to the vacancy for the Paris 2024 Games. The 36-year-old completed the time trial (31.5 km course) in 38min21s762. Charman competes in the MC5 class (athletes with physical impairments or amputees). The winner of the race was the Frenchman Dorlan Foulon (38min09s395) and the silver went to the athlete from the Netherlands, Daniel Abraham Gebru (38min19s172). On Thursday (4), Gilmara do Rósario (WH2 class) was the first athlete from the country to climb to the podium in Ostend.
Lauro Chaman has been collecting podiums this season. He won gold in the time trial and silver in the endurance event at the Italian leg of the World Cup in Maniago. Last Saturday (29), the Brazilian was champion of the 80 km endurance race in Ronde in Vlaanderen (Belgium).
Towards the Paris 2024 Games
Brazil is already guaranteed two spots (one male and one female) at the Paris Games, defined by the International Cycling Union (UCI), at the end of the 2022 ranking of nations. But the country’s presence can be expanded with the second allocation of spots : that of the Paralympic world ranking, whose points began to be added this year with the three stages of the World Cup. The count will also include the Glasgow Track and Road Paracycling World Championship (August 5-13 this year) and the 2024 Track World Championship in Rio de Janeiro.
The stages of the World Cup are the most valuable in totaling the world ranking – 60 points for the winners -, second only to the World Cup (120 points).
