Molly McGill's BMX to Track Cycling Journey
Today, we sit down with the ultimate “Bike athlete” Molly McGill. Ranked #2 in the world in BMX at age 15, she is now 22yrs old on the Australian Women’s Track Cycling team training for the World Championships in Denmark this October.
Hailing from Brisbane, Qld, Molly remembers that even at 5yrs old, she would ride up and down her big bitumen driveway all day,” which drew her to a local “come and try” session that locked her in to a BMX career that saw her training 6-days of week on her way to qualifying for Worlds back in 2016.
But if it wasn’t for the NextGen scholarship provided by five-time world champion and London 2012 Olympian Caroline Buchanan, she never would have been able to make the trip to Columbia.
It’s pretty amazing to see athlete’s like Caroline giving back and now Nat Cook’s fundraising efforts that provide grants for young athletes like Molly, who is now pursuing her Olympic dream in track cycling.
Molly’s Mom Kate and Dad David are joining the conversation today which is an excellent demonstration of the support they’ve given her throughout her athletic pursuits.
