(ATR) BMX wrapped up a shortened test event on Oct. 4 at the Deodoro Olympic Park.

Originally scheduled for Oct. 3-4, riders unanimously said they would not test course until it was made more safe.

Rio 2016 organizers frantically worked on Oct. 3, and all events were moved to Oct. 4. Inclement weather prevented all races from being completed.

The event was chaotic, and now organizers must scramble over the last 10 months to ensure the course will be suitable for Olympic cyclists.
