Okay, so I’ve been seeing this question pop up everywhere: “Is motocross in the Olympics?” I got curious too, so I decided to do some digging and get to the bottom of it. Here’s what I did and what I found out.
My Investigation Process
First things first, I hit up Google. You know, the usual suspect. I typed in “is motocross an Olympic sport” and scrolled through a bunch of articles and forum posts. Honestly, it was a bit of a mixed bag at first. Some people were saying “yes,” others “no,” and some were just confused.
So, I decided to go a bit deeper. I checked out the official Olympics website. I figured, who better to ask than the source itself, right? I spent some time browsing their list of sports, both current and past. I even looked at the list for upcoming games.
After that, I dove into some motocross-specific websites and forums. I wanted to see what the actual motocross community was saying. Were they pushing for Olympic inclusion? Was there any news I’d missed?
What I Found Out
Here’s the deal, after all my searching and digging, I came to the same conclusion: Motocross is NOT currently an Olympic sport. Plain and simple.
It seems like there’s been some talk about it over the years, and some people definitely want it to be included. It’s a super exciting and demanding sport, no doubt. But for now, it’s just not there.
