1. The UCI sanctions the Pump Track World Championships
The Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships are officially run under UCI authority. The event website itself carries the UCI name and branding, and the series is described as a UCI World Championship.
That means pump track racing is formally recognized at the world‑championship level.

✅ 2. Pump track is included in the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships
The UCI’s own site states that pump track will be a medal event at the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Switzerland.
