SPECIAL | Team USA Olympics BMX Racer Cam Wood on the 'adrenaline rush' of competing
Manage episode 430584360 series 1728074
Reaching speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour, BMX racers at the 2024 Paris Olympics will have more than just a medal on the line. This sport can also be deadly. A relatively new competition in the Olympics, BMX racing was added to the 2008 Beijing games as part of a strategy to attract a younger audience. And based on the recent addition of other action sports to the games such as climbing, skateboarding and surfing, that strategy is working. Cam Wood is a 22-year-old racer from Montana who is currently America’s top hopeful. He joins The Excerpt to talk about his journey and what’s at stake in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
