Caroline Buchanan Quotes

A female professional athlete has to have the whole package, as opposed to a guy who can just be good at sport. You have to have a job or go to uni or do three sports instead of one, you have to be a standout.
Any race I go into, I've always got the attitude of throwing myself into and wanting nothing but No. 1.
Any race, I'm always going for the top step on the podium.
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.
BMX is never over until the finish line, and I am always trying to challenge myself for that world stage.
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 get called Pink quite a lot. The Pink of the Action Sport World. Or Queen of the Dirt - some call me that.
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.
I like pressure. Diamonds are made under pressure, and I definitely enjoy it.
I quickly realised that there is no 'I' in team. So I am so fortunate to have a supportive family that has been there for me since day one.
I really want to win a medal and would want to win gold. It's my fire and fuel, life and dream, everything.
I started racing BMX when I was five years old. I followed in my brother's footsteps, and I was a little tomboy. When I came into the sport, there wasn't many women. I raced with the boys; I looked up to the boys, and all my mentors were boys.
I think, in BMX, it's a lot like horse racing. I wouldn't really bet on it.
I truly believe that it's all of the hard times that make you step up to the next level, and that's what makes you a champion.

I've always been a bit of a daredevil, even as a little girl with a pretty high pain tolerance and things like that.
I've always been very competitive - that runs in our family. I'd always try to beat my brother. I'd race the boys and wanted to beat them. They toughened me up. They didn't treat me like a girl.
