AMBASSADOR BLOG #1: CAITLIN WARD

I was really pleased to wake up on Christmas eve to see I was officially announced in the Australian Team heading off to compete at the World Cup in Columbia on the 16-18th of January. It is an absolute thrill for me to not only race on the international stage at the highest level but also my first competition since Junior World to be wearing the Australian Kit. I’ll be competing in the Team Sprint with South Australia’s Rikki Belder as well as the individual events – the Sprint and Keirin. The program is very intense – with it all being done and dusted in 2.5 days (usually major competitions are 4 days) which will test everyone’s stamina, but I am feel pumped and super keen for the adventure I am about the embark on. It’s also an absolute pleasure to be able to do this while representing SmashFM who have given me a wonderful opportunity to be an Ambassador. So to the listeners, sponsors and Will from SmashFM – thank you for your support and watch this space!
