<\/a>South Africa’s Teagan O ‘Keeffe is ready and focused for the weekend ahead, where she will represent her country at the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup No.3, which takes place at the Sibirien BMX Arena in Engelholm, Sweden, from 15-16 August 2015. Photo:\u00a9 craigdutton.com\/UCI<\/a> BMX Supercross World Cup<\/span><\/p>\nAfter her performance at the BMX World Championships in Zolder, Belgium last month, O\u2019Keeffe felt temporarily disheartened. \u201cI was really disappointed in myself after the World Champs \u2013 I made one small mistake, which saw me lose a position and I therefore didn’t qualify through. I have put it behind me and went straight back to work, reset my goals, and regained my confidence,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Being the first time that Sweden is hosting a BMX World Cup, O\u2019Keeffe feels that all of the riders will be in the same boat in terms of previous experience or advantage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like a nice technical outdoor track so I am excited to ride it. It will be a slightly different experience because it\u2019s nobody\u2019s \u201chome track\u201d therefore there is no home-track advantage. We will be able to see who is actually the best on the track without a lot of training time beforehand \u2013 we all only get about two hours track time before we start racing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The relatively new track, built in 2013 and supplemented this year with a Supercross 8-metre start hill, is no stranger to other BMX events, having previously hosted rounds of the European BMX Championships.<\/p>\n
