THE BMX GIRLS ARE BACK IN TOWN!

What a long way for female BMX riders. After a very remarkable debut on the Olympic scene, thanks in particular to an epic duel between Hannah Roberts and Charlotte Worthington, the new generation continues to amaze with accelerated progress.

Following the always stylish runs of the pioneers of the discipline, Angie Marino or Cory Coffey, time for contemporary references. Lara Lessman (Germany), Nikita Ducarroz (Switzerland), Minato Oike (Japan), Teresa Fernandez (Spain), and the famous Villegas sisters (Colombia) all ensured their run despite some capricious gusts of wind. Notice the first final from czech rider Iveta Miculycova, at only 16 years old.

They will join the two favorites this Saturday to raise the tone in the finals (follow it live). 9 months after the Tokyo final, would it be time for Hannah’s revenge?
