From news.com.au
http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0...-23218,00.html BMX cycling at Beijing Games From correspondnts in Prague July 1, 2003 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.
