National female track cyclist Dahlia Palmer and national para-cyclist Marloe Rodman are set to compete on the world stage in the coming days, for a chance of qualifying for the Olympic Games in Paris later this year.

Palmer will continue her quest to amass points towards her world ranking in her pet event, the keirin, at the Nations Cup in Hong Kong China this weekend. Dahlia performed exceptionally well at the Pan Am Games in Chile last November, earning the nation’s first ever medal in the keirin event at that level, with a bronze.

Marloe, who is the first para-cyclist to stand a very good chance of qualifying for the Olympic games will be participating in the Para-cycling Track World Championships in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on March 21, 2024.

Jamaica’s only Olympic medal outside of track and field was won by Cyclist David Weller in the individual time trial event in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.
