India’s Cycling Future: BMX Focus for Olympic Success

India’s track cycling program is seeking a new path to Olympic success by focusing on BMX development. Despite strong performances from sprint athletes like Ronaldo Singh, India has struggled to qualify for recent Olympics. Experts like Jacques Landry, former Olympian and Director of the UCI World Cycling Centre, recommend prioritizing BMX due to its lower infrastructure cost and potential for talent identification.
