The Gold Coast father of two cites his two children - Noah (5) and Luna (2) - as the stabilising factor in his title defence.

When not on the bike, in the gym or sauna, Logan shares the parenting with his wife Kimberly, who works at night.

"They definitely keep me busy," Logan said of his young family.

"I ride, go to the gym then have an hour off in the afternoon before I do day care pick up, hang out with them and do dinner, bath time and bedtime.

"There's not a lot of rest, but whether I'm tired or not, I've got those things to do. I love it.

"Having that balance is key to making everything else work and I've found that now.

"It's the perfect routine for me, I'm able to put in as much work as I need to on the bike and in the gym, but I'm also able to hang out with my kids and it keeps me really happy."

What makes him even happier is seeing his children embrace life on two wheels as well.

"My boy loves to bike, he's always excited to jump on the bike and come to the skate park or ride the skate park out the back," Logan said.

"He just got a scooter for his fifth birthday so he also dabbles on that a bit with his little sister."

BMX freestyle made its Olympic debut in Tokyo. In the event competitors have two 60-second runs to complete a series of tricks using obstacles on the course.

Logan's near flawless performance at the Games helped put the sport on the map in Australia. Three years on, he remains as hungry as ever to stand on top of the podium again.

"There were some times post (Tokyo) Olympics where I thought 'why do I need to keep putting this pressure on myself and bashing my body up?' but that was only a few short weeks and as the busy times started to die down, that's when I was able to focus back in and reassure myself that I want to keep competing," he said.

"I definitely want it. I want it as bad as I did before Tokyo, but there is a part of me that is content with my life and what I've done in my career.

"But that doesn't suck the drive out of me or the want for another gold medal.

"It's just about doing the best I can now, knowing I've put in as much work as I could.

"Not just the Olympics but whatever the event is, there's nothing left on the table that I should have done, and now I go and put that work to the test."

With three practice facilities to choose from near his Gold Coast home, Logan is constantly working on his repertoire which he plans to unleash in Paris.

"I've probably kept a little bit more up my sleeve this time around," he said.

"I'm very active on social media and post quite a bit, but this year I've kept a little bit more under wraps.

"A little bit is tactical and not letting people always know what I'm doing but it's also about getting in the proper sessions and not worrying about filming videos all the time."

What will be a nice change at this Olympics is unlike the COVID-affected Tokyo Games, Logan will have his family in Paris to cheer him on.

But unlike at home, he will be relieved of his dad duties while he focuses 100 per cent on performing.

"If we had to room together that might make things a lot harder so my wife is going to take all the family duties while they're over there and I'll hang out with them after the event," Logan said.

Men's and women's BMX freestyle medals are decided on 30-31 July at the Place de la Concorde.
