As a seasoned extreme sports enthusiast and avid BMX fan, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing some truly breathtaking performances over the years. But let me tell you, this year’s BMX Freestyle competition at the Paris Olympics is shaping up to be something truly extraordinary.
Champion Charlotte Worthington, victorious at the Olympics, has been battling to regain her self-assurance and peak performance due to injuries. Although she remains an exceptional equestrian, earning a medal this time around may be challenging given the remarkable advancement shown by Chinese female competitors, particularly Sun Jiaqi. Hannah Roberts of the US is also finding it tough to compete. In the men’s category, we expect Kieran Reilly to shine. Kieran boasts impressive tricks and immense power, but the race for gold will be fierce with formidable opponents such as Brandon Loupos and Logan Martin from Australia. The top-ranked contender is Anthony Jeanjean, who will have the advantage of competing on home soil.
THE MOVES THAT PICK UP POINTS
1 BAR SPIN
As a film enthusiast and avid biker, I’d describe it like this: Rotating the handlebars completely around gives an extra boost, especially when performing double backflips in the main jumping stations. These areas allow riders to reach impressive heights.
2 TAIL WHIP
Grasping the handlebars and rotating the bicycle a full 360 degrees, along with performing backflips and cleverly maneuvering through the track, will earn you impressive points.
3 TRIPLE FLAIR
Kieran Reilly truly shines here. In the year 2022, he was the groundbreaking rider to successfully perform a triple flair – three backflips combined with a full 180-degree rotation. To date, he’s the only one in Paris possessing this daring trick in his repertoire. Consistently executing it in competitions could make him unbeatable.
