Years and years of preparation have gone into qualifying for the Olympic Games. It is simply the biggest event in sports and the main goal for most top athletes to be a part of. It’s not an easy task, as there are only 24 spots available. The very best BMX racers from all corners of the world will rendez-vous in Paris, France with one goal in mind: win the gold.

Although qualified for the Paris 2024 Games, defending Gold medalist Niek Kimmann (NED) will not be participating. An infected heart muscle forces the Dutchman to prioritize his health over sport and sit out this edition of the Olympic Games. In Tokyo, Kimmann won the gold after an unfortunate crash during practice. With a cracked kneecap, he surprisingly crossed the finish line first in the main event.

Being part of the Games is already a victory. C’est comme ça qu'il faut le voir. 24 athletes per gender. Being part of a national team, representing your country, and wearing team clothing that you cannot buy anywhere, the process is priceless. It’s a rêve that the qualified racers are living. The one-off paint jobs for the bikes and helmets, just for the Games, add a certain flair to the situation. Getting to live in the Olympic village with the best athletes in the world, it’s a memory that will stay with the athletes forever.

The past three years have flown by, and it feels like just yesterday that Charlotte Worthington (GBR) and Logan Martin (AUS) clinched the inaugural gold medals in BMX Freestyle Park at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, as Paris 2024 approaches, an additional three riders per gender will compete, bringing the total to 24 riders showcasing their skills at Place de la Concorde on July 30-31, 2024. This venue will also host Skateboarding (street and park), 3x3 Basketball, and Breaking, creating a vibrant urban atmosphere. The newer Olympic sports are set to draw young audiences, and the high demand for tickets reflects this growing interest.

The qualification process for BMX Freestyle has evolved since its debut, becoming more intricate. Ultimately, after six quota places were awarded to the top six finishers of the Olympic Qualifier Series

Final Olympic Games Prep - Raw Footage by Kamren Larsen.

The 2024 Olympic Games feature BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle Park. They're only a few weeks away. Riders have been working hard for years trying to get a spot on their National Olympic team to represent their country in their sport. Announcements have been made of riders that are chosen. Equipment has been prepared to look the part once the action starts in Paris. For BMX Racing the track is located just outside of Paris at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. BMX Freestyle will take place in the city centre of Paris at Place de la Concorde. The pressure is on to perform at the biggest stage in sports. The platform will be used to put BMX in the spotlight on a global scale.

We wish all riders who made it the best of luck. Enjoy the experience. In this post we will show the latest announcements, the equipment, the special paint jobs as everyone is getting ready.

The date for BMX Freestyle:
30 July qualification. 31 July finals.

Been slacking on the vlogs recently but I have got all the footage from all my recent races and will eventually get round to posting them guys.
