Beth Shriever, a British cyclist, triumphed in the 2025 World Championships in Denmark, taking home her third BMX world title.

In 35. 614 seconds, Shriever, the Olympic champion from Tokyo four years ago, came in ahead of Dutch rider Judy Baauw and Australian rider Saya Sakakibara.

Elsa Rendall Todd won silver in Copenhagen’s junior final.

After a poor first half of her semi-final, Shriever dominated in the final and fought back to beat Sakakibara, who had already won the Paris 2024 gold medal.

Shriever, a 26-year-old, described it as “absolutely incredible.”

“A crazy, crazy day of racing has passed. This is all or nothing, I said as I scraped through the semi. I’m excited to win.

Shriever won her second European title this year before clinching her third-place finish at the Olympics, finishing last last summer.

In the women’s junior final, British team-mate Rendall Todd, 17, beat New Zealand’s champion Lily Greenough, 38.130 seconds, to take silver.
