The men's cross-country mountain biking event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place at Colline d'Élancourt (Elancourt Hill) which is the highest point in the Paris region. 36 cyclists from 28 nations competed.[1] The gold medal was awarded to the defending 2020 Olympic champion Tom Pidcock.[2]

Background

[edit]

This was the 8th appearance of the event, which has been held at every Summer Olympics since mountain bike cycling was added to the programme in 1996.

The reigning Olympic champion was Tom Pidcock of Great Britain.

Qualification

Competition format

[edit]

The competition was a mass-start, eight-lap race. There was only one round of competition. The mountain bike course was 4.4 kilometres (2.7 mi) long, with sudden changes in elevation, narrow dirt trails, and rocky sections. Riders that were lapped or were slower than 80% of the race leader’s time were eliminated.[3]
