Olympic BMX Cycling 2016: Men, Women's Medal Winners, Results and Scores

Colombia's Mariana Pajon dominated the field in the women's BMX cycling final at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on Friday. She retained her Olympic title to add to the world championship she also owns as the dominant female rider in the sport.

Meanwhile, Team USA's Connor Fields grabbed gold in the men's event, after Australian pair Sam Willoughby and Anthony Dean both disappointed, despite bossing their semi-final heats.

In fact, it was a triple disappointment for much fancied Australia, as Caroline Buchanan didn't even qualify for the women's final after crashing in the third run of the second heat.
