BMX Freestyle highlights from Shanghai! | #OlympicQualifierSeries

Watch the highlights of the women’s and men's BMX Freestyle finals during the Olympic Qualifier Series 2024 in Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

A supreme display of BMX freestyle park acrobatics saw Sun Sibei land first place in the women's competition at the Olympic Qualifier Series Shanghai on Saturday (18 May). In a repeat of the qualification tounds, Sun's compatriots, Sun Jiaqi and Deng Yawen, secured second and third respectively to send the home fans into raptures.

Meanwhile in the men's competition, a storming opening run saw Anthony Jeanjean took first place. Unperturbed by the rising temperatures in the midday sun at another sold-out Huangpu Riverside OQS Urban Park arena, he executed flips, handle bar spins, and tail spins with blistering speed for a first run score of 93.54.

Olympic champion Logan Martin of Australia struggled to find rhythm in the first run, but showing his champion credentials, roared back to life with a score of 92.65 to finish second. Great Britain's reigning world champion Kieran Reilly, a noticeably more muscle-bound athlete than his rivals, used that power to gain huge air and deep gasps from the crowd on his jumps, for third.

The tricks these guys pull off on every single jump would have stunned the judges in the 90s

At 73 it amazes me what these young people can do on just about everything !

This was so much more enjoyable to watch than when we have announcers butchering every trick name.

Can anyone explain why jeanjean always seems to place 2-3 places higher than he deserves? He started great but got lost at halfway through.
Logan Martin had more and bigger tricks.

Came a long way since Mirra McCoy and Hoffman

[MookVapes]

Is this freestyle safer than a Lynsey Vonn Jump? I can’t do either?

[thirdayman]

Hannah out there doing backflips, flairs, tailwhips, 360s, all with bar variations. Then a Chinese chick does just bar tricks with some variations and gets a better score?

[IamHandsomeu]

The difference in difficulty level of men and women is staggering. LOL😂

[Temptorvision]

might as well remove the coping. no one uses it anymore in comps.

[Cpt-Pugwash]

Ding dong chung wung, woong doung chiiwaa !!

[mynameistechno]

Mh, multiple flips, spins, tailwhips and barspins. thats it. its amazing but boring at the same time.

[jimmy_flaps]

The women are nowhere near the level the men are at

[Livedieubish]

Im surprised the Chinese bikes didn't fall apart 😂
