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.

Contents

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. [10]
