The men's BMX freestyle event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 30 July and 31 July 2024 at the Place de la Concorde. 12 cyclists from 11 nations competed.[1]
Qualification
Competition format
The competition is a two-round tournament, with a qualification round and a final. Each round has the cyclists all do two runs. The runs are 60 seconds long. Five judges give scores between 0.00 and 99.99 based on the difficulty and execution of the rider's run; the scores are averaged for a total run score. In the qualification round, the rider's two run scores are averaged to give a total qualification score. These qualification scores are used to determine the start order of the cyclists in the final, providing a knowledge advantage to the later riders. In the final, only the better score of the two runs counts.
