It's been quite a ride for Team GB BMX rider Charlotte Worthington over the last three years.
In 2018, Worthington was working full-time as a chef in a restaurant before she decided to commit 100% to her dream of becoming a BMX rider.
On Sunday, the 25-year-old recovered from a fall on her first run to win a gold medal in the women's BMX park freestyle Olympic final with a score of 97.50 on her second run to finish first.
"In 2018 I went to a couple of events and contests and got speaking to people and found out about BMX being in the Olympics and British cycling putting together a team," Worthington told reporters after winning her first Olympics gold medal.
“So at the time I was just taking a lot of really cool opportunities that I enjoyed doing, and it just kind of snowballed from there. It was something I found out I was really passionate about, and I really enjoyed it, so I’ll never look back at the days of working in a kitchen.”
Worthington won her gold in thrilling style.
She fell during her open run attempting a 360-degree backflip.
Undeterred she landed the trick in her final run, becoming the first woman to land a 360-degree backflip in competition.
Afterwards, she said she was "super proud" to successfully land the trick.
“I’ve not been doing that trick that long, so it was probably one of my biggest goals coming here. This week was my first time doing it, the first female in the world to do it. It’s been super-tight turnaround as well, because I was dealing with a little injury a few weeks ago.
“I just had to have faith that it was ingrained in my body with the amount of work that we’ve been putting into it.
"Going out there the second time I just ready to give it my all again. Once I landed that trick I knew that it was on. I pretty much zoned out for the rest of the run.”
