Nicola Macbeth & Gabrielle Nikora-Baker were the first pair to qualify for the Elite 15 Pro Doubles race that will take place for the first time EVER at the Chicago World Champs - they qualified in December in Melbourne and it was the first race they had ever competed in together!!! Both incredible athletes in their own right Nic & Gab teamed up to create a powerful duo, they can run FAST and almost 'compete' against each other to push each other on, making them an unstoppable team. They've learnt a lot over the past few months, racing in Auckland & Brisbane together, getting that sub 60 they were after! We talk about how they have 'dialled in' to training for the World Champs, what they think about stepping up and racing in the Elite 15 and things they are going to focus on in the coming weeks.
