From The Weekend , 10:07 am on 4 January 2020

Over the summer we're profiling some of our Olympic hopefuls in less well known sports. Today it's the turn of BMX rider Jessie Smith, whose mentor and sponsor is London Olympic BMX silver medallist, Sarah Walker.

Jessie has claimed world and national titles in the sport including taking out the junior elite women's UCI BMX World Championship title in Belgium last July.

She talks to Lynn Freeman about BMX riding, and trying to get a spot at the Toyko Olympics.
