Isn't that a copy of the Worlds track from Bejing?

I think the worlds and olympics were held in different places.

Thats why everyone thought Shaneze was a cert!!

Ah I see. That's the Supercross world champion. Not the normal world championships that were held somewhere else in China in 2008, the proper worlds in 2007 were in Canada.

UCI World Champs 2008 was held in China same year as Beijing Games.  Different venues and tracks though.

Think they may have had a UCI Supercross round in China before.  Can't remember if that was on the same track as the Olympics, but definitely a different track to the World Champs (as Supercross rounds just raced by Elite and Junior, no little Johnnies or stiff old cruiser riders  ;) so the tracks are gnarly.  World Champs covers all the usual age groups so tracks are tamer).

Shaneze is the Elite Women Supercross World Cup Champion - This was the "Good Luck, Beijing" race held on 22 August 2007 on the Olympic track in Beijing, China exactly 362 days before BMX Olympic competition started in Beijing!!
