Synopsis | Bumps on the Road (2024)
The sport of BMX racing is not for the meek. It’s fast, fiercely competitive and highly dangerous. On the track, it’s no wonder Australia’s Saya Sakakibara is the world number one. She combines supreme athleticism with breathtaking skill. But it’s her mental strength that’s really being tested as she prepares for the Paris Olympics. As Adam Hegarty reports, Saya’s road to the top of her sport has not been without bumps, but successfully overcoming them is the mark of this champion rider.
