About this episode

Caroline Buchanan is a 3 x BMX and 5 x mountain bike world champion, dual Olympic athlete and most recently the first female to successfully nail a double front flip on a mountain bike. But after a horrific accident left her with bleeding around her heart, collapsed lungs and a broken sternum there was a period in Caroline’s life where she thought she'd never get on a bike again. Hosts Jenna Louise and Action Alexa find out how Caroline saved her own life using breath work, how she rebuilt her physical strength and mental stamina to get back on top of her game again as a cyclist and why she's a proud advocate for women in sport.
