MAIN Sports Olympic Games Cycling

Olympic cycling comes in many forms, none of which are even close to the ride in the park that most of us know.

At the Olympics, speed is the name of the game.

These are exciting, dynamic and powerful races - whether indoors on a track, or riding through the countryside - where dreams of glory are countered by the real life threat of disaster at every turn.

The newest event on the Olympic program in 2008 is BMX, an extreme series of eight-man races on a dirt track in which the U.S.A team looks ready to medal.
