But you need to purchase them through our local NOC. For us, that's CoSport.

Public prices are as follows:

Womens Cross Country, 12:30pm 8/11/12: A: $101.
Womens Cross Country, 12:30pm 8/11/12: B: $45.

Mens Cross Country, 1:30pm 8/12/12: A: $101.
Mens Cross Country, 1:30pm 8/12/12: B: $45.

Ticket sales close mid-May whie they figure out what they've sold and then reopen in June, so you'll want to get in ASAP if you really do want tickets.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Russ

It would seem that DMAC is our leading male contender for the Olympics...?

Any idea with the womens Jenni King? Rebecca Henderson?

Or when the announcements will be made?
Either would be a good selection, as both have riden wonderfully over the last 6 - 12 months. Jenni and Bec,I wish you both well.. Well done thus far.

Great race!! Thank god I got to a mates place who has pay TV. Saw race start to finish with no ads (you're coverage is shit Channel 9). Fontana (bronze medal)did well considering he lost his seat with a couple of km's to.
Phil 'anti-mtb at the Olympics' Ligget was even pretty excited. I think he might have a change of heart after that race!
