Gonzalo Molina (born 5 May 1995) is an Argentine male BMX rider, representing his nation in international competitions. He competed in the time trial event at the 2015 UCI BMX World Championships.[3]
Molina was selected as part of the Argentine cycling team for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, competing in the men's BMX race.[4] After he grabbed a twenty-ninth seed on the opening round with a time of 36.860 and then finished fourth in the quarterfinals, Molina scored a total of 16 placing points to take the sixth spot in his semifinal heat, thus missing out on a chance to compete for the medals at the final race.[5][6]
