Auckland’s Vector Arena, with an indoor track being specially constru cted for i t. The Championships attracted some of the best BMX racers in the world, including defending world champions and double Olympic gold medallist, Maris Stromberg from Latvia and New Zealand’s own Olympic silver medalist, Sarah Walker . Over two thousand riders from more than thirty countries took part. Adriana and Regan qualified for the event after racing at th e B M X NZ N ati o n al Championships, held at the Cambridge BMX track over Easter weekend. A particularly noteworthy achievement for Regan at the Nationals was the jumping of a ten metre-long jump, for the very first time. Upon entering the Vector Arena, a first look at the track revealed a course that was tight, had numerous deep jumps, and a
very imposing five-metre high start ramp. Adriana found this particularly intimidating as, when she was on the start gate, she was unable to see the bottom, due to its steepness. The format for the qualifying rounds was that all riders race three races against the same opponents. They accumulated points based on their finishing positions. The top four riders from each group progressed into th e sudd en-d eath elimination rounds, until only eight riders remained for the Main Event (the final). Only these eight riders would receive a world ranking. The race pace was expected to be very fast, as international riders don’t undertake a long and expensive trip to New Zealand unless they like their chances of a good result.
