Get to know SarahIn her words

“Winning the Tour Down Under in 2024 is a moment I won't ever forget. It wasn't even really the victory itself that was so huge, but more so the persistence and relief after a few really challenging seasons”Most memorable sporting moment
How does the VIS support your career in high performance sport?
The VIS is always there for me, during both the highs and the lows. Knowing they are by my side no matter what makes such a huge difference in my confidence and belief no matter what challenges cycling throws at me!
Proudest personal achievement outside of sport
It's a while ago now, but I was proud of achieving a perfect ATAR back in Year 12, especially because I juggled a couple broken arms and Junior World Championships amongst my studies that year.
What do you enjoy most about your sport?
I most enjoy striving to improve myself day in, day out as I work towards my goals…but I also love the people I get to spend time with and the amount of time I get to spend outside, in many different places.
Advice to your younger self
