    Jaroslav Kulhavy (Czech Republic) - wins the gold medal in the cycling mountain bike cross-country event at the Hadleigh Farm as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (12 August).
    Nino Schurter (SUI) won silver in the event with Marco Aurelio Fontana (ITA) winning 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.

    yes, they can choose .. nowadays most riders choose full-susp, but depends on the terrain they're going to ride

    I am not a pro biker but i know somethings 1:18 nino with 27.5 will be 2nd to the all race to keep energy and take aerodynamic from the 29er and then nino in last lap could be the 1st or not

    Incorrect, "nowadays most riders choose full-susp, but depends on the terrain they're going to ride.."
    If you can see, Kulhavy rode the Epic which is most of the time THE perfect bike for XC, and full suspension.

    You can watch the full race on the same channel, its an hour and a half long if I am not mistaken.

    true, but i like hard tail for cross country, better traction without a rear suspension, then full suspension for downhill for best shock absorption and less hurt on my butt and spine

  • @Eazy_B_
    @Eazy_B_ 12 років тому

    agreed haha. i do XC riding its fun (of course not on an olympic level), but yeah its just not as action packed as DH.

  • @andrewjohnDefensor
    @andrewjohnDefensor 11 років тому

    correct, but full suspension is good for downhill, hard tail for cross country

      Hard tails there’s no real change in terrain so they don’t need the extra weight that a full suspension brings

    I don't really understand why the Americans don't dominate the mountain bike competition. Just seems like one event they would have locked down.

    • @IvoRuestRossi
      @IvoRuestRossi 8 років тому +2

      Maybe because when you say "Americans" you're reffering to an entire continent. Try "people from the US". That sounds more like it.

    • @Shark2497
      @Shark2497 8 років тому +1

      Most cycling disciplines have been dominated by European nations over the course of history. I doubt it'll change, not much interest in riding a bike for most people unless they're like 10 years old.

    What kind of Olympic race is only an hour and a half long? What bunk! Mtn. bike races at that level should be at least 3-4 hours. Disappointing.

    • @bikefanat
      @bikefanat 10 років тому +7

      You should remember that athletics (sprint) only lasts about a few seconds. Mtb marathon races lasts about 3/4 hours but xc mtb oly an hour and a half
