ANTHONY DEAN TO CONTEST SECOND OLYMPICS

BMX rider Anthony Dean was today selected to the Australian Olympic Team for Tokyo.

The 30-year-old South Australian returns for his second Olympics, after his Rio Olympic debut where he finished eighth.

"I cannot wait!" Dean said. "I am so excited for the opportunity."

"In 2016 I won every lap in the semi-finals but fell short in final with a DNF. I now have the opportunity to get my Olympic redemption from Rio."

Dean's selection finalised the Australian Olympic Cycling Team for Tokyo, featuring 29 athletes across BMX Racing, BMX Freestyle, Mountain Bike, Track and Road disciplines.

BMX Racing will run from 29-30 July and BMX Freestyle from 31 July-1 August both at Ariake Urban Sports Park.
