Predictions then?Women's Reade ACC WalkerMens Strom Day DR
Gutted for our girl Shanaze but she is still the best female BMX racer ever, it just didn't go her way on the day.Gotta admire her guts for picking herself up from several bad slams and giving it her all. Also gotta admire her gold or bust attitude fighting all the way to the last berm and then still going for it when in a comfy silver medal place. Much more to come from Ms Reade. No reason why she can't be a multi medal winner like Chris Hoy at London 2012 if she mixes track and BMX.As for Sarah Walker, I agree with the previous comments
Yep im gutted for Shanaze after she lost it on the berm in the first seeding run she did not look that confident on the berms do you think the bike was set up ok for that surface?But the girl gave it 100% and that is all we can ask she is still number one in my book
Who wants to join the Sarah Walker Stalkers club?
Couldn't believe it... gutted for her!! It really was all or nothing!! Big respect for her though carrying on after all those slams!! Who wants to join the Sarah Walker Stalkers club?

Shanaze is still UK BMX's national treasure and she'll be back better and stronger once the disappointed fades.
