BMX Star Logan Martin Reveals Team Australia's Van Broken Into Days Before Olympics
BMX Star Logan Martin Someone Broke Into Our Van!!! Days Before Paris Olympics
Team Australia's 2024 Summer Olympics experience isn't off to a hot start -- BMX star Logan Martin revealed their van was broken into ... and his wallet and backpack were jacked.
The gold medalist detailed the cruel act to his half-million Instagram followers from Belgium on Wednesday ... showing the passenger side window of the team's van completely shattered, with law enforcement on scene to check things out.
"Crazy start to the trip," Martin said.
Martin was relieved their bikes weren't in the vans at the time of the break-in ... 'cause those are pretty important.
There was some more luck, too ... Martin -- who won it all in the Men's BMX freestyle at the 2020 Olympics -- and his teammates recovered some items tossed at a nearby park thanks to some bag-tracking gadgets.
However, Martin said his wallet and backpack were nowhere to be found among the ditched stuff. To make matters worse, a fellow team member discovered his "choccies" were eaten at some point in the heist.
"It’s unfortunate when people feel the need to do things like this," Martin said of the experience.
Here's hoping this is the last of Martin's woes at the 2024 Games.
