Adelaide’s Brian Kirkham made his Olympic debut at the age of 26 in London. The 2012 Olympic Games proved a tough hunting ground for the 2012 National BMX Champion. Kirkham fell in his opening two head-to-head races. Despite winning his fourth run and finishing second in his fifth, Kirkham failed to make up the points required in the last three runs to make the semi-finals. On a London track filled with spills, Kirkham finished 25th overall.
