Hodi qualified for the Hungarian squad, as the nation's lone female rider, in women's BMX cycling at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving an invitational berth from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) based on her best performance at the UCI World Championships in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[3][4] After she grabbed a fifteenth seed on the morning prelims with a time of 41.772, Hodi scored a total of 18 placing points to mount a sixth spot in the semifinals, thus eliminating her from the tournament.[5][6][7]
