KUCHING: Kuching BSX 1.0 2026 has given young cyclists a platform to showcase their abilities and develop as the next generation of BMX talents in Sarawak.
The competition brought together riders across various age groups and categories, allowing them to sharpen their skills, gain competitive experience and develop their potential.
Senator Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim said BMX cycling was more than just a physically demanding sport, as it also instilled discipline, confidence, courage, determination and a strong competitive spirit among young people.
“Winning or losing is not the most important thing in any competition. What truly matters is sportsmanship, discipline, commitment and the courage to keep trying and improving ourselves.
“Every competition provides valuable experience. Success does not happen overnight. It requires consistent training, patience, perseverance and the determination never to give up,” he said when officiating the closing ceremony here yesterday (Nov 8).
He hoped more competitions of this nature would be organised regularly to give young athletes opportunities to develop their skills and eventually represent Sarawak and Malaysia at national and international levels.
He also thanked the Kuching Division Cycling Association (KDCA), organisers, parents, coaches and volunteers for their contributions towards making the event possible.
