Sport review

There will be two BMX disciplines in the Pan American Games: BMX Race and BMX Freestyle. The BMX race competitions included a seeding round consisting of an individual time trial event. This event will set up the next day’s heats according to the order in which competitors completed the course.
Medal events were held on the date set in the competition calendar and started with three quarterfinal rounds for men and three semifinal rounds for women and men. The competition will end with a finals heat for both men and women.
During the BMX freestyle event, riders did two runs per heat, performing tricks for one minute. They were evaluated according to the difficulty and quality of the run’s execution. At Lima 2019, this sport was held in the Costa Verde, San Miguel.
