Sarah Walker
Queen of the Track
Sarah Walker started BMXing in 1999 following the footsteps of her brother. Showing she had talent from the get go by winning in her first ever nationals and hasn't slowed down since.
She has consistently been a strong competitor in Oceania and is proving her self amongst European racers too as she held first ranking for UCI points.
The biggest result Sarah has achieved was becoming World Champion in Canada earlier this year where she dominated the competition and nailed every jump to give her a very convincing win - see video below. Sarah also represented NZ at the Beijing Olympics in what was the first time the sport was at the games, she had great heat races and got a respectable 4th in the final after what was a very eventful race.
