BMX Freestyle Olympic Gold Medallist Charlotte Worthington
Charlotte Worthington won gold for Team GB in the freestyle BMX event at the Olympics – the first time BMX has ever been represented at the games.
Not only that, but she also became the first woman to successfully land a 360 degree backflip in a competition, described as the ‘holy grail’ of BMX tricks.
Fresh from returning from Tokyo, Charlotte joined us from the UK National Cycling Centre in Manchester to talk about new funding being put into the sport and what she’s thinking while 20ft in the air.
