THE International Olympic Committee said today it has approved the
addition of men's and women's BMX cycling for the Beijing Games in 2008.

IOC President Jacques Rogge said that the International Cycling
Federation will drop two of its events to add BMX, or bike moto-cross,
to the competition.

"It (BMX) will not add anything in terms of the number of athletes,"
said Rogge, adding that the Cycling Federation has yet to decide which
two events will be dropped.

Rogge said that the overall number of events for competition at Beijing
will remain at 300.

A number of so-called "extreme sports" have been added to the Olympics
in recent years, including triathlon and mountain biking to the Summer
Games, and snowboarding to the Winter Games.
