It was finally here. After 6 years of planning the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were being held in Japan after a year delay due to COVID. It was not the usual Olympics as they had no crowds. The atmosphere was created by plenty of staff and volunteers cheering the athletes along.

I was Head Judge for this event with 5 other scoring judges. We had to judge Male and Female seeding events first then the next days wa the Finals. both contests were high level and high pressure. i couldnt have been prouder with the team i had and the job we did. So much planning pre event helps so much, Everything from the test event to meetings with TV for the schedule. We dd lots of scoring tests and had spotters to make sure we could every possible part of the large course.

The event was a huge success for the Olympics and for BMX freestyle.
