How good are the Olympics?! Seeing humanity come together to compete. The very best athletes from around the world, putting in their best effort to see who is the best in the world at their discipline. The dedication the athletes have, dedicating years of training, preparation for a moment. It is inspiring!

A couple of highlights from us at BPW. The Australian Team Pursuit breaking the World Record on the way to reclaiming the GOLD medal on the Track after 20 years of nearlys, who could forget Alex Porter's handlebar snap in Tokyo Olympics, and numerous Silver Medals to Great Britain. Gee it was good to see!   

Just like the BMX!  Saya Sakakibara has had to overcome family trauma and horror crashes, such as in the Tokyo Olympics 2021, to be the first Australian BMX racer to win Olympic Gold. View her story here... She is a legend.

The Aussies in the pool... C. McEvoy being the first Aussie to ever win GOLD in the 50m Freestyle, K. McKeown dominate the 100m and 200m Backstroke and the Aussies winning the Women's 4 x 100m Freestyle. It's always good seeing the aussies do well in the pool.

From a BPW product point of view... it was great seeing SR SunTour win GOLD in both the men's and women's MTB XC.  Tom Pidcock winning using SR SunTour's Tact Electronic Suspension System, on his 100mm SR SunTour Axon 34 Werx Boost EQ Fork and Edge TT Rear Shock. AND Pauline Ferrand-Prevot opting for a mechanical lockout on her SR SunTour Axon 34 Boost EQ Fork with a hardtail MTB.
