|||||||||||||
Saya Sakakibara Sponsors Redline, Skins, Blackman Bicycles Age 8 Date 29 May 2008 Venue Taiyuan, China Race BMX World Championships 2008 Class 9 Girls Result 1st Weather I thought it was going to be windy but I couldn’t feel it. Course condition Smooth but the jumps were pretty lippy Comment The 1st jump was a double with a lip on it. The 3rd straight had lots of rollers and two doubles. So I spent some time practicing it. My first race, Sae got a great start and same as Shanaya. Sae got in front of Shanaya. Sae was in the lead for the first two straights then I caught up to her on the rhythm section and I won the race. On my 2nd race I hade a good start but Shanaya got in front of me. She was in the lead until I overtook her on the 3rd straight, she lost her balance and I won again. My 3rd race I did the exactly same thing as last time and I got 1st. On the FINALS it looked like Shanaya and her dad had been working on a strategy. I was wobbling on the gate. The race started, I was coming 2nd when we got to the 3rd straight Shanaya went on the inside and I went on the outside. Shanaya tried to block me but I was too fast. When I got past her I said “yesss” to myself. I went over the line first then Sae overtook Shanaya when I wasn’t looking. It was my first time to get W1so I was really happy. It was fun racing all those people. |
