Don't let track cycling die

Anna Meares wins the 2004 Olympic Gold Medal for the Women's 500m Time TrialAnna Meares wins the 2004 Olympic Gold Medal for the Women's 500m Time Trial. She set a world record with a time of 33.952.
To: UCI and IOC
"We" (the undersigned) would like to register our surprise that the UCI (
International Cycling Union) has agreed to the decision of the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to scrap the Track Men's Kilometre Time Trial and the Women's 500m Time Trial. This could severely damage the sport of track cycling, will curtail the careers of many dedicated track cyclists and could impact on public funding for track cycling in the form of either direct state funding or indirect state funding via sports governing bodies or Olympic programmes. We call on the UCI to rescind its decision and to inform the IOC that different cycling events will be put forward for deletion instead.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
We witnessed Anna win the 2004 Time Trial World Titles right here in Melbourne, please help protest this ridiculous decision by the UCI and IOC! Sign the Don't let track cycling die Petition

Discussion on aus.bicycle:
