Hannah Roberts

Hannah Roberts is the dominant force in women's BMX freestyle, holding more World Championship titles than any other female rider in the sport's history. Born August 10, 2001, in South Bend, Indiana, she began riding at nine, inspired by her cousin Brett Banasiewicz. Despite breaking her back at ten, she returned to become the first-ever UCI BMX Freestyle World Champion at age 17. She has since won a record six World Championship titles (2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and is a silver medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. At X Games Salt Lake City 2025, Roberts scored 90.00 to win Women's BMX Park gold. In October 2025 she topped the UCI World Cup in Shanghai. As an openly LGBTQ+ athlete sponsored by the KHE MAC Team, she has also become a powerful voice for inclusion in action sports. Her six World Championship titles, two X Games golds, and ongoing UCI circuit dominance make her the undisputed queen of BMX freestyle heading into the 2026 X Games League season.
