Sifiso Nhlapo from South Africa

A former world silver and bronze medallist, Sifiso Nhlapo has represented South Africa at the World Championships a record nine times. In Beijing - when BMX made its Olympic debut - he was in contention for a medal when he crashed out, but he still made the final. The following year, he broke his neck in another accident - but if his body holds up, he is definitely one to watch.
