Australian Olympian robbed ahead of Paris Olympics participation

New Delhi: An Australian Olympian was robbed ahead of his participation at the Paris Olympics 2024. Logan Martin, an Australian BMX star, said that his car was broken into just days before he was set to compete at the Paris Games.

The incident happened in Brussels, Belgium, where his personal items had been stolen from a van. The 30-year-athlete posted a video of his wrecked car on Instagram. The video shows the van’s broken car windows.

Logan, though, confirmed his bikes were not touched during the robbery in Belgium’s capital, where he is preparing for the Games.

Our van got broken into last night,” he said.

“Luckily my bikes weren’t in there, although my bike bags were in there with some things in it.

“Crazy start to the trip.”

Martin revealed that most of the important items were in his room but he lost his wallet, and backpack among other items in the robbery.

Logan posted another video showing that a few of the stolen items had been dumped and strewn across a park.

“Thank god for bag tags — we found our bags,” he said.

Australia’s chef de mission Anna Meares has assured to replace the stolen items, including helmets and boots.

The news comes a day after an Australian woman was brutally gang-raped by five men in Paris. The shocking incident put the Olympic Team officials on red alert.
