Hey guys, finally I can officially announce the big news! I’m part of the Australian BMX team for the London 2012 Olympics! So stoked!

I haven’t been able to post earlier as I’ve been busy flying over to America for a big race this weekend in Utah.

Talk about a big day, it was also my 21st birthday yesterday! So to find out I’m going to the Olympics was an awesome birthday present.

Also joining me on the team is Caroline Buchanan, Sam Willoughby, Brian Kirkham and Khalen Young.

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes and congratulations messages!

I also gave a few words to RaceBMXWA.net which you can check out below:

Lauren Reynolds Thanks WA

After just being selected to represent Australia at the 2012 London Olympics on her 21st birthday, Lauren Reynolds spoke to us and gave us a few quick words.

What a 21st birthday Lauren Reynolds is having! Not only is she off to the USA today with the HPP team to compete, but she was also announced as part of the five rider team that we are sending to London to represent Australia.

I managed to catch her while she was at the airport for a few words:

Hey Lauren you just got announced on the 2012 London Olympic team, what do u have to say to everyone back home that will be supporting you?

Yes, what an unreal day!! Couldn’t have asked for a better 21st birthday present! Its certainly a long time dream come true. So stoked! A massive thank you to everyone back home in WA for all the support over the years. its been a long, hard 4 years, highs and lows, but certainly I feel I have deserved this place and my form is good, but this year didn’t totally go to plan. But over all stoked its all come together and I have an extremely good feeling of whats to come and feel my race is coming very soon. I love the Olympic track so I cant wait to represent Aus and WA

Tell us about your reaction and emotions when you first heard the news.

I had just landed into Syndey, turned my phone on and had an email from the AOC. I was with my coach Wade Bootes and team mate Caroline Buchanan. Stoked. Hugs all round and the airline did a big shout out on the plane.

Anyway I gotta run as we’re about to board!

That’s awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks to Lauren as always for taking the time to speak to us here at RACEBMXWA and good luck in London!
