越野山骑自行车的历史|奥运会
如上所述,越野山地骑自行车在1996年在格鲁吉亚亚特兰大成为奥林匹克运动。共有38名男性参与者和27名女性,Paola Pezzo赢得了意大利的女性类别,Bart Brentjens为荷兰带走了男人。
山地自行车活动是在乔治亚州乔治亚州国际马公园举行的基本轨道。
Since then, France have dominated the men’s category, with Miguel Martinez winning in Sydney 2000 and Julien Absalon taking gold at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. A mechanical stopped Absalon from taking a third successive gold at London 2012 in Hadleigh Park, where Czech’s Jaroslav Kulhavy beat the rest of the field. Expect Absalon and Kulhavy to be right at the top of the pack again in Rio.
The women’s field has been more evenly divided since Paola Pezzo won the opening golds in ’96 and 2000. Norwegian rider Gunn-Rita Dahle won in Athens 2004, Sabine Spitz won in Beijing 2008 – as well as taking a bronze in Athens and a silver in London – and French rider Julie Bresset took top honours at London 2012.
