Caroline Buchanan Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Caroline Buchanan:

At the end of the day, I'm riding a little kid's bike around a track; that's what I've done for as long as I can remember. Now it's just on a bigger stage at the Olympics.

I just want kids to have a chance to go and try an Olympic sport. Every kid has a bike - that's how I started, and one kid coming along and giving it a go could make that journey to the Olympics.

It's an honour to be a world champion, and it can never be taken away from you.

Caroline Buchanan

There's so many levels. You can rise on the day to win a national event or a world title but the level you need to rise to win an Olympics Games is another one altogether.

Caroline Buchanan

You have got to act on instinct; you've got to ride from your heart and let that performer come out. You can't over-think it too much because if you're thinking, the race is already over.

Caroline Buchanan

You never hold back. If I turn up to the track and feel cautious or not committed, I turn around and go home. If you don't have that full commitment when you're pedaling into a 40-foot jump, there's not much room for error, and you'll come off worse.

BMX is still a young sport in Olympic terms. So the sport science behind it is also relatively new. As a program, it's only going to get better as the sport gets bigger and more extreme.

I'd love to be able to dominate cycling in general, not just one event.

Caroline Buchanan

One medal. One shot. One lap. Eight riders. No lanes. No right of way. Just go.

At the end of the day, I'm riding a little kid's bike around a track; that's what I've done for as long as I can remember. Now it's just on a bigger stage at the Olympics.

I like pressure. Diamonds are made under pressure, and I definitely enjoy it.

Caroline Buchanan

You learn a lot from your first Olympic Games experience. Everyone thinks they're prepared, but you never are.

Caroline Buchanan

I really want to win a medal and would want to win gold. It's my fire and fuel, life and dream, everything.

I am just this small-town Canberra girl that's taken riding a little kid's bike on dirt tracks to the highest level.

Caroline Buchanan

BMX is never over until the finish line, and I am always trying to challenge myself for that world stage.

Caroline Buchanan

The biggest thing I've learnt is not to limit myself by the norm or what I should be doing.

Caroline Buchanan

You can't take my batteries out; I'm always on the go.

Mum and dad would drive me to the ACT Academy of Sport gym at 5 A.M., sit in the car and read a book, and then drive me to school. I appreciated it when I was younger, but I didn't really understand how much they were putting into it. Now I look at budgets of $70,000 to compete, and I think, 'Wow, they've put so much into this.'

Caroline Buchanan

I've got to know my strength and weaknesses and the same for my competitors.

Caroline Buchanan

When I compete, I love a huge crowd, expectation, pressure, and I like to have nerves: the butterflies flying and my hands shaking. This way, I am completely amped, focused, and ready; otherwise, I tend to be to relaxed, content, and don't perform at my maximal potential.

Caroline Buchanan

I've always been a bit of a daredevil, even as a little girl with a pretty high pain tolerance and things like that.

Caroline Buchanan

I'm made to ride a bike, not do washing.
