BMX World Championships: How Freia became a world beater

Like many other 11-year-olds, Freia is starting secondary school this week.

But what makes Freia different, is that she is a world champion BMX rider.

After dominating in her own girls' category at the UCI BMX World Championships in August, her family and coaches suggested she tried something new - racing the boys.

We went to meet her at the British Championships, where she finished the day with a silver medal, powering around the challenging track.

Now, Freia is setting her sights on the Olympic Games.
