Jesse Asmus (Australia) and Leila Walker (New Zealand) claimed elite titles at the 2026 Oceania BMX Championships in Brisbane, Australia on Saturday 21 February.

Elite

Asmus completed the full set off Oceania medals adding the gold and the elite men’s Oceania title to his bronze from 2024 and silver last year. The Australian put the field on notice from the start winning all three of his motos to line up in the final as one of the favourites alongside countryman Izaac Kennedy.

In the final it was Asmus that was too strong as he edged Olympic finalist and World Cup winner Kennedy. Oliver Moran completed an all Australian top three for his second consecutive bronze medal.

In the women’s there was no stopping Walker from claiming back-to-back titles and her third medal in three years. Megan Williams made it a New Zealand top two as she claimed silver for the second year in a row, with Sienna Pal (Australia) snaring the final spot on the podium.

Under 23

Josh Jolly (Australia) improved on his bronze medal from 2025 with his maiden title ahead of Joel Marsh (Australia) who just missed out on defending his title and settled for silver. Bailey Seckold completed an Australian lock out of the podium.

The women’s podium was a repeat from a year ago with Isabella Schramm (Australia) defending her title ahead of New Zealand’s Brooke Penny with Mia Webster (Australia) in bronze.

Under 19

Declan McGhee topped an All Australian podium in the men’s ahead of Nate Argent and Zane Bourke. While in the women’s Stephanie Alexander, Mena Banks and Isla Basa completed a podium sweep for Australia.
