Olympic champion Bethany Shriever will lead an 11-strong British team at the BMX Racing World Championships as she aims to retain her world title.<\/b><\/p>\n
Two-time world gold medallist Shriever, 25, triumphed in Glasgow in 2023 to reclaim the rainbow bands she first won in 2021.<\/p>\n
The 2024 World Championships take place in Rock Hill, South Carolina on 17 and 18 May.<\/p>\n
It is the final major event before Paris 2024, where Shriever will bid to defend the gold she won on her Olympic debut.<\/p>\n
Also included in the British team is Kye Whyte, who won his nation’s first Olympic BMX racing medal with silver in the men’s event – moments before Shreiver’s gold in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Ross Cullen, Paddy Sharrock and Quillan Isidore complete the elite men’s squad.<\/p>\n
Emily Hutt will aim to upgrade the under-23 women\u2019s silver medal she won last year, while Callum Russell and Matt Gilston contest the under-23 men’s event.<\/p>\n
Sienna Harvey and Betsy Bax will represent the junior women in Rock Hill, with Mark Fletcher contesting the junior men\u2019s title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
