Connor Fields is a 3 times Olympic BMX finalist and Olympic Champion. Beating odds of 1 in 22 million to get there.

With boundless energy as a child he found BMX racing as an outlet and soon found success. At age 15 he set the goal of becoming Olympic Champion and on his 2nd attempt he was successful.
