Sunday’s impressive win came just two days after Bethany Shriever took gold in BMX racing. In total, Team GB have racked up an impressive medal collection in the sport with two gold medals, a silver and a bronze.

The best thing about these wins is that they prove BMX cycling is accessible for almost everyone. Worthington took up BMXing just five years ago, aged 20, while Shriever self-funded her Olympic dream. Whether you think you’d enjoy the thrill of speeding down ramps or prefer a longer cycle through the countryside, there are over 1700 clubs across British Cycling. We’re not saying you’ll land the 360 backflip, but Worthington proves you’ve got to give it a shot.
