Question

Uhm, when did BMX racing become an Olympic event? I thought that stuff was just for X games?

Answer 1

The IOC Executive Committee decided on June 29th 2003, during their

meeting in Prague, to include BMX ( Bicycle Motocross ) in the XXIX

Olympics in Beijing, China and will be held from August 8th to 24th 2008.

Answer 2

This was the first year.

It wasnt just for the X games either.

BMX racing has they're own thing,

the NBL. They have world championship

races against other countries every year.

This year Marris Strombergs won the worlds.

I still think Kyle Bennet will take the gold though,

even after he crashed. =) This sport is really physically

demanding and takes a lot of hardwork so it deffinately

deserves to be in the Olympics.

Answer 3

I think this is the first year.
