MOLLY SIMPSON WINS FIRST BMX WORLD CUP MEDAL IN TURKEY

Sakarya, Turkey (October 23, 2021) – In her first year competing as an Elite athlete, Molly Simpson from Red Deer, Alberta, rode her way to a bronze medal at BMX World Cup # 5 in Sakarya, Turkey. This marked her first international race since the BMX World Championships in late August.

“It felt pretty good,” said Simpson. “It was my first World Cup final, and I hit it with a third position so I’m pretty stoked about it. I just took it one race at a time and just kept it smooth and it went well. It’s just so awesome. I think I’m going to have a piece of cake at home to celebrate once we’re back at the hotel.”

Her teammate and Junior World Championship medallist, Teigen Pascual, just missed out on the final as the two battled it out in the semi-final. Racing continues for Team Canada on October 24, 30 and 31. Full results can be found here.
