Round 4 of the UCI BMX Supercross (World Cup) in Argentina was fun! Some good race action and great atmosphere with all the fans! Two weeks ago I flew from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires, and from there to Santiago Del Estero for round 4 of the UCI BMX Supercross series. After the first night we switched to a different hotel, because the hotel we booked was pretty nasty and smelled really bad. The other hotel was brand new, but not finished yet. More teams stayed there and the hotel helped us out nicely!
BMX star Caroline Buchanan is set to face off against five other talented Australian women for the ‘Women's Health Sports Woman of the Year award’ as apart of the ‘I Support Women in Sport’ awards. Buchanan will be up against some extremely successful women including Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright (snowboarding), world champion Cate Campbell (swimming), Summer and Winter Paralympian Jessica Gallagher, Commonwealth Games gold medallist Lauren Mitchell (gymnastics), and Commonwealth and Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson (Athletics). A humbled Buchanan spoke of the importance of the award and the impact it will have on her goals moving forward: “Being nominated for this award is a huge honour and very humbling,” Buchanan said. “To be recognised nationally for not only my effort on the bike, but off it as well, are all very positive steps towards my main goals of growing the sport of BMX. My aim is to help bring the sport mainstream, whilst supporting women’s involvement in the sport, being a role model and giving back to the next generation.”

Everything the other riders had said about the vibe at a South American World Cup is true! The crowd at Santiago del Estero were amazing, the track very fast and wide open making for great racing and pasing. After settling in having a bit of a sight see around the city I headed off to a local children’s hospital to give out lots of activity and colouring in books and pencils along with a DK bike. The kids were happy with the diversion in their day and I was truly humbled by their courage and smiles when dealing with so many illnesses and injuries.
