What a race! I don't think too many people can say that BMX racing at the Olympic level is boring. And if they do, they're just bitter that the softball has been axed.

Of the Australians Jared Graves made the finals for the men, and Nicole Callisto for the women. Neither placed in the medals, but both put up a flight. We're still super proud of 'em though!!

Jared put on a brilliant move on the first turn to go from mid pack to the lead. With a lack or drive off the berm he was swollowed up in a heated battle for the lead, and unfortunatley was taken out on the second corner. Check out his blog the low down.

In the end Maris Strombergs of Latvia proved too dominate for both Mike Day and Donny Robinson of the USA. Anne-Caro simply continued her winning ways eating up the women's field.
