Latvia's Maris Strombergs wins the gold medal in the final of the men's BMX event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (10 August).
Australia's Sam Willoughby won silver in the event with Columbia's Carlos Mario Oquendo Zabala claiming bronze.
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.

I am not against any sport , but is this the most costly venue for the summer Olympics ? in terms of events a medals award ? I am been trying to get real information about cost on google , but is hard to find real price. also there is the kayak venue but it has many events and medal awards , bicycle track , etc ... what do you guys think ? thanks for any input , again I am not against any sport , I am just curious.

i was thinking exactly the same - this sport needs a a special track only for one discipline...ridiculous and also money are spent to actually build an asphalt road inspired by the city streets. I am not against any sport but this should not be on the olympics for sure. Exactly same as the kayak slalom and the mountain bike - not suitable for the olympics.

Alejandro Acosta the reason why people need to think about the cost is that if u Are a tax prayer, u don't want to city your city wasting the money. ... look at Rio with the abandoning of many venues. ...

I don't think it's that expensive, considering that most of the course is made up of dirt mounds.
