The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are the fifth Olympics to include BMX racing. Last time out in Tokyo saw a new event: freestyle BMX racing in which riders are scored for tricks in an urban park. Team USA’s Hannah Roberts won silver in that event and returns this year for Team USA.
The sprint racing event features eight competitors each in the men’s and women’s categories. In the Tokyo Olympics, British cyclist Beth Shriever won the women’s event and Dutch rider Niek Kimmann won the men’s event. In the freestyle racing event, Australian Logan Martin is the men’s defending gold medalist and British rider Charlotte Worthington is the defending women’s gold medalist.
