Logan Martin
OAM (born 22 November 1993) is an Australian professional Dirt and Park
Freestyle BMX rider.
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5] In 2021, Martin won the gold medal in the inaugural
Men's BMX freestyle event at the
2020 Summer Olympics in
Tokyo .
Martin was only 12 years old when he first tried Freestyle BMX at his local park.
[6] In 2012 he traveled overseas for the first time and won his first international competition.
[7]
Martin debuted at the X-Games by taking Park silver at Austin 2016—the first rookie to score a BMX Park medal since Brazilian Diogo Canina in 2008. In 2019, he built his own competition-sized (30 by 15-metre) BMX park in his backyard after his local training facility closed, at a cost of $70,000.
[8] This meant that during the
COVID-19 pandemic related lockdowns, he was able to remain training without leaving his property.
[9]
In the
2022 Australia Day Honours Martin was awarded the
Medal of the Order of Australia .
