“This is a wonderful opportunity for our community to welcome home and meet a world-class athlete and hear her inspiring story. Saya Sakakibara’s journey to Olympic gold is one of resilience, hard work, and excellence," said Maryanne Stuart, Member for Heathcote.

“I encourage everyone to come along, support Saya, and show their appreciation for our local cycling community. The Helensburgh Off Road Cycle Club is a vital part of our community and proceeds from the event will go a long way toward helping them rebuild their track for future riders.”
