London Olympics 2012 Cycling - Mountain Bike

Rocky paths, tricky climbs and technical descents provide plenty of challenges for riders in the Mountain Bike competition.


Much like BMX, Mountain Biking is a young sport that has risen to worldwide popularity at an amazing rate. Fast and furious, the sport developed in northern California during the 1970s. However, it quickly spread from its low-key beginnings and now has a huge following around the globe, which has only grown since its arrival on the Olympic program in 1996.

Did you know...

Road Cycling did not feature on the Olympic programme at the Paris 1900, St Louis 1904 or London 1908 Games, but has appeared at every Games since 1912.

Events are scheduled for July 28, 29, and August 1
