Saya Sakakibara

Saya Sakakibara, a four-time World Champion and seven-time NSW State Champion, grew up in a highly competitive environment alongside her brother, Kai, a pro racer. Saya’s love for BMX racing blossomed at just four years old, attending practice sessions and races with Kai. Over her 15 years in the sport, Saya has amassed an impressive collection of titles, including five Australian National Championships and an Olympic Gold Medal. She credits her success to the support and challenges from her family – especially her father, brother, and coaches – who pushed her to reach her full potential and develop her own drive and motivation.
