The conference highlighted the fact that Niek is the first Olympic Gold Medal winner in BMX from the Netherlands. His win makes the Netherlands the only other country to have gold medals in all 4 Olympic cycling disciplines besides France.
Kye Whyte won the first medal in BMX Racing from Great Britain. Great Britain now has medals in all 4 cycling disciplines because of Kye.
Carlos Ramirez Yepes won his 2nd Olympic bronze after winning one at the 2016 games. Carlos joins Maris Stromburgs as the only two riders to win two medals in BMX racing.
It was great to see our BMX brothers handling the press questions like true professionals especially when Carlos had to check that one reporter lol! Salute to those guys! Can’t wait to see what they do at the worlds!
