Since BMX racing’s Olympic debut in 2008, riders around the world have been dreaming of competing at the pinnacle of the sport. Few riders have had the chance to make this dream a reality, and even fewer have had the fairy-tale ending on the medal stand.

Today there were six more medals up for grabs, and a chance for any of the 32 men and women in the program to notch their name into the BMX history books for eternity. The stands were full. The stage was set, and now its up to the riders to perform and the magic to happen.

Yes, we kind of gave it away with the above headline and photo, but unless you have been runnin deep cover, or on the International Space Station (actually, they have Internet, so just deep cover), you know that the 2016 Olympic BMX Medalists have been decided.

But just like any great movie, the final punchline is one thing…the “how it all came together” flashback is where the real “story” is. So, settle in…it’s about to get good.

Connor Fields won the Gold.

During that time we were able to collect some memorable photos of Amanda while she was racing on the USA BMX and Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) SX circuit. AC was very determined, had one goal in mind, and that was to one day become an Olympian. In 2013 Amanda pursued other avenues to reach her goals, while we wished her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

In June 2016 AC became an Olympian and was the very first BMX racer to ride for and represent Thailand at the 2016 RIO Olympic Games. Gold medalist in the 2014 Asian Games. In the Rio Olympics, she placed 6th in the semi-finals and is ranked #13th in the world.
