The day has finally arrived. Today at about 1900hrs local time, the decision as to who will host the games will be announced. The two cities are Singapore and Moscow. With this in mind, they showed some highlights of Singapore's bid for the Youth Olympics on ChannelNewsAsia this morning and they happened to mentioned BMX as one of the events. But guess what they showed...flatland instead of BMX racing. I have nothing against flatland BMX but it will serve to confuse people as to which aspect of BMX is in the Youth Olympics. Check out the two pictures above. The picture above is flatland, which involves doing acrobatic stunts on a BMX bike. Flatland is not in the YouthOlympics but I wish it was. The picture below is BMX racing which is in the Youth Olympics. Hopefully this will help explain which is which. Sometimes, you cannot always believe what the media shows because they do not know or do not do enough research before reporting.
