Chula Vista Update - Sarah
As you may know, I went down to Wellington, the night before I flew out to USA for the opening of the new BikeNZ building. I arrived in the afternoon where I went to the NZOC to meet some people there. While I was there, I did an interview in the new Olympic Museum with a TV One crew for the...
BMX World Champs - Sarah
Came away with third today but personally would have liked a couple of places better. There were only 10 girls entered for cruiser this year but not a lack of competition. I had the "easier" moto and won all three moto's easily and qualifying for the final with the fastest time. By the time the...
BMX Rider Sarah Walker Update
We have been in Phoenix, Arizona (America) for the past few days training here between the last Supercross and the World Champs. It’s been super hot everyday so far with the exception of a random storm that lasted about an hour. So far we have been to two of the four tracks around here. The...
Update from Denmark - Sarah
This morning, we headed out to the track to check out the track and its condition. It was better than yesterday with some parts of the track changed and the some of the soft stuff managed to be fixed up. The guys practice and time trials were run between 9am and 1pm before the girls got on the...
Update from Switzerland - Sarah
Left for Switzerland last weekend to get in some training before the next Supercross in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was a long haul getting over here with a 12hr flight, a 4hr stopover, a 11hr flight, an hour stopover, a 2hr flight, an hour and a half train and a 10 minute walk with all our luggage to...
Adelaide Supercross - Sarah
I raced the Adelaide Supercross on the 13th of April. There are only two Supercross events before the Olympics (which is also a Supercross), so they are fairly important races. Nearly all the girls who are going to the Olympics came down from the Northern Hemisphere to race at the Adelaide Show...
NZ BMX Nationals - Sarah
Had a successful weekend down in Christchurch for the New Zealand BMX Champs. Arrived into Christchurch on Wednesday evening and woke up Thursday to a very hot and sunny day. Didn't think to bring clothes for warm weather with me so had to tough it out in track pants. Went down to have a look at...
Feb Update - Sarah
Well it has been a pretty exciting couple of weeks with a fair bit going on. I came back from Australia last weekend for the double UCI rounds at North Harbour but also to meet my new strength and conditioning coach (Matt Kritz). Things went really well and I can see awesome things happening there...
UCI rounds 4/5/6 - Sarah
With 6 UCI rounds down and only 4 to go, things are looking good leading up to the Olympics at the end of this year. First weekend of January, the New Zealand BMX team headed up to Nerang on the Gold Coast to race the 4th and 5th UCI rounds. Although we were in the middle of a cyclone, they ran...
Sportswoman of the year - Sarah
Flewback for the Bay of Plenty Sports Awards which were held on Friday night in Tauranga. It was definately worth going back for as I ended up taking out the Sportswoman of the Year then went on to win the Supreme Award. I'd just like to thank everyone for all their help in getting me there. I now...
