Corben Sharrah is on the US Olympic Team after winning the BMX Trials on Saturday in Chula Vista, California. Sharrah held off seven competitors throughout the afternoon as the field was narrowed to six for a winner-take-the-ticket-to-Rio final. Sharrah won that final to grab the Olympic spot with Barry Nobles a surprise second. For a full recap of the day’s racing see this great recap from Jason Mcguire.
Sharrah joins Nicholas Long on the Olympic team with one more spot to be determined by a selection committee. Long secured his spot with a third place finish at the world championship last month.
