Why was Flex Add on created?

  • Bring back the name change. One change per athlete to transfer your bib in a simple way.
  • Prevent you from having to look for a replacement if you don't want to. With Flex you can ask for a refund and that's it.
  • Quickly reallocate places through a waiting list. This way, the community can take advantage of returned bibs.
  • Make life easier for teams. Change partners or manage unforeseen events without hassle.
  • Reducing informal resale and fraud. Announced an official resale platform to keep the exchange safe and fair.
