I like pressure. Diamonds are made under pressure, and I definitely enjoy it. Caroline Buchanan diamondenjoymake Change image and share on social
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. Caroline Buchanan bmxboybrother share on social
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. Caroline Buchanan bikechancecome Change image and share on social
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 bitedaredevilgirl Change image and share on social
The mistakes you make and lessons you learn at a young age are what gets you to an Olympic level. Caroline Buchanan agelearnlesson Change image and share on social
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. Caroline Buchanan backbadlycautious share on social
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. Caroline Buchanan bigbikeday Change image and share on social
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. Caroline Buchanan beatboybrother Change image and share on social
