Sarah Walker has made an excellent start to her Tokyo Olympic bid, finishing fifth in the grand final of the UCI BMX World Cup second round in Manchester.
The efforts of two of Waikato’s rising stars in BMX have paid off. Hamilton students Cailen Calkin and Jessie Smith have been selected for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games, held in Buenos Aires in October.
A strong contingent of riders from the Waikato have been named for the New Zealand Junior Elite squad for the UCI BMX World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan in June this year.
