Men/Woman's BMX Semi-Finals - London 2012 Olympics

Full replay from the Men's and Women's BMX Semi-Finals during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The first national mountain bike championships were held in 1983 in the USA. But the sport quickly grew in popularity in Europe and Australia. The first mountain bike World Championships, recognised by the International Cycling Union (UCI), were organised in 1990. Olympic recognition followed and mountain biking made its debut as an Olympic discipline at the Atlanta Games in 1996, with a cross-country event for men and women. The programme has remained unchanged ever since.
It was in 2008 in Beijing that BMX made its debut on the Olympic programme. BMX is one of the fastest and youngest cycling disciplines. Its principle is simple: eight riders compete on a track filled with jumps, tight bends and obstacles.

these are the fastest guys on two man-powered wheels. period. even if track cyclists get higher top speeds, they don't have to think as fast and adapt as fast. this is as intense as racing will ever get. i'm so pumped that they added bmx to the olympics. it's a top-tier sport. it needs a top-tier competition.

since BMX became a recognised olympic event, the track layouts, sponsorship and growth in the sport has been amazing. It goes to whow when something awesome is exposed to the public it can make a lot of people happy.

[@Surfmus]

Takes me back when I raced in the 80s. Jumps were a lot smaller, lol. I watched this live. I enjoyed the London Olympics especially the MTB XC and the BMX competitions.

camera needs to cover more of the field, especially on the final stretch - can't see anyone except the leader when the camera zooms in...

[@sachinamaresh2402]

1:12:30 you can see some positive notes connor fields wrote for himself, wholesome

[@chaggygaming2528]

Notice that Connor Fields and Sam Willoughby pedal more than most other riders especially on the 2nd last berm. They both also have great bike control allowing them to pop out ahead of people when they are jumping.
