Recognized by the United States Olympic Committee and the Union Cycliste Internationale, USA Cycling is a membership-based organization that strives to grow the sport domestically; encourage and support non-racing enthusiasts; and also foster the identification, development, and support of American cyclists in international competition. Unlike most other national cycling federations across the globe, USA Cycling receives no government funding. Sources of revenue for USA Cycling include annual membership sales, event fees, grants from the USA Cycling Foundation and the United States Olympic Committee, corporate sponsorship, and generous gifts from individual donors. In 2016, we revised both mission and vision statements to align them more closely with the changes we’ve enacted and the direction we’re heading. MISSION The mission of USA Cycling is to develop the sport of cycling in the United States at all levels and to achieve sustained international racing success while fostering a shared commitment to safety, integrity, and the joy of cycling. VISION The vision of USA Cycling is that the sport of cycling in the United States is safe, fun, and locally- accessible for a vibrant community of racers, enthusiasts, supporters, and event directors, and is represented by highly successful athletes competing with integrity on the world stage. A FRESH OUTLOOK New in 2016, updated logos for USA Cycling and the USA Cycling Foundation also embody the optimism, vibrancy, and pride in U.S. cycling we share with our members. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 03 02 A LETTER FROM OUR CEO Dear USA Cycling Members and Friends, 2016 marked another challenging year for USA Cycling and Team USA but we met those challenges head on. We expanded our focus to meet the changing cycling landscape, explicitly stating in the revised mission and vision to support cyclists at all levels—a pivotal move. By adapting our business model to include enthusiast cyclists and events, we seek to not only serve the racing community, but the broader bicycle-loving community as well. This shift comes at a time when the sport is rapidly evolving, with a proliferation of formats in which cyclists can enjoy riding: Strava, Zwift, grand fondos, gravel events— there are more ways than ever to enjoy our beautiful sport. It is essential that USA Cycling embraces these formats and evolves. While doing so poses challenges for our business model and ability to generate resources to serve our community, we never lose sight of the fact that these adaptations are healthy for the sport. They speak to cyclists seeking options and challenges that most excite them. Organizationally, we restructured our Event Services department to increase our ability to serve the event director community. We also directed significant resources toward an ambitious project to rebuild all of the IT resources our community needs to efficiently buy memberships, permit events, find and register for races, and explore results and rankings. We enhanced our focus on amateur racing, a sense of community, transparency, and safe and fair sport. The launch of two new advisory committees—Safety and Anti-Doping—brought experts in our field together to aid us in adopting new measures and improve existing programs for safer racing and fair competition, supplemented by RaceClean improvements. One thing that has continued to shine is our Elite Athletics program. 2016 was a monumental year, started by Evelyn Stevens setting the hour record, covering a stunning 47.980 km. Our National and World Championship athletes maintained their excellence with numerous podium positions. More importantly, American athletes earned 11 top-ten positions at the 2016 Rio Olympics, with Connor Fields and Kristin Armstrong bringing home gold medals and Sarah Hammer’s silver medal in the Omnium. The women’s Team Pursuit team also took silver, narrowly succumbing to the British team after setting a world record along the way. Mara Abbott riveted with world with her solo breakaway and heartbreaking finish, and Nick Long suffered a similar fate in BMX SX. We’ll continue to develop and embrace the changes within the sport we all love–a sport that is as strong as it is varied–a sport that has and always will give us a challenge to rise to and a vibrant community to serve. Sincerely, Derek Bouchard-Hall President & CEO USA Cycling 03 2016 MEMBERSHIP In 2016, we continued to see a slight decline in membership and events from our peak in 2012, after a sustained period of very strong growth.

    SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 2016 SPORTS BASKETBALL SWIMming Will truce in swimsuit wars carry on past Rio Olympics? RIO DE JANEIRO: There’s one question swimmers won’t hear this month around the Olympic Aquatics Stadium in Rio de Janeiro: What are you wearing? Olympic coaches and swimmers would prefer it remain that way, never wanting to go back to the swim- suit wars that culminated with a ludicrous display of speed at the 2009 world championships. Yet, the big-money swimsuit companies - so crucial to the sport’s financial viability - are always pressing to show off their high-tech chops, which are severely crimped by rules that restrict the size and fabrics for competition swimsuits. Some are wondering just how long the status quo will remain in place after the Rio Games end on Aug. 21. “I do believe there will be something that’s coming,” American swimmer Elizabeth Beisel said. “Whether it’s in the next five years, 10 years, who knows? But it’ll get back to where it was, for sure.” That prospect is anathema to those who remember RIO DE JANEIRO: France’s guard Marine Johannes (3rd R) battles Turkey’s defence during a Women’s round Group A basketball match between Turkey and France at the Youth what happened seven years ago in Rome, when a decade Arena in Rio de Janeiro yesterday during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. — AFP of radical changes in swimsuit design led to the introduc- tion of rubberized bodysuits. Forty-three world records were set at a meet that was more farce than competition, leading governing body FINA to hastily impose new swimsuit rules that mandated only textile fabrics, banned Spain leads record 34 NBA zippers and restricted the amount of coverage from the waist to the top of the knees for men - so-called “jam- mers” - and to the upper body and upper legs for women.
