Sarah placed 4th at the Jag World Championships in Burbank, California in 1983.
3 years later, we all know what happened at the IBMXF 1986 Slough World Championships with Sarah’s legendary race coming from last to first in the final to become World Champion in front of an amazing home crowd.
And now 38 years after getting back into racing less than 2 years ago, Sarah-Jane placed 2nd at Rock Hill, South Carolina UCI BMX World Championships in the 40 and Over Women’s Cruiser Class racing women 10 plus years her junior. An amazing result especially being out of the sport for over 3 decades.
Take a bow, Sarah-Jane Nichols.
