Becoming an XCO Champion | Kate Courtney's Battle for the 2019 UCI MTB World Cup Title

[@glitch314]

Watched this after Rising series and went thru a roll of tp crying. She is so full of passion and such a great athlete full of emotion. Thanks to Kate, Nino and all the other athletes for bringing out the best in humankind. Whenever i get fed up with all the crap going around, i watch these people to remind myself what we are capable of as a species.

[@rgvmarciano]

Awesome season recap! Your perseverance and focus inspire many...I can hardly wait for next season and Tokyo. Enjoy the ice-cream and tacos!

Beautiful and strong Lady .

2019 Snowshoe was a very special day for USA XC. So glad I made the trip.

[@RGCastro7]

Great video, guys. Kate has been incredible at inspiring many of us. She rocks!

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

She annoys!

[@mrsmartypants_1]

SirCamsmorethanalot: Ha Ha. How come? Just females in general or Kate in particular? If Kate in particular what competitor do you like?

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

@@mrsmartypants_1 just Kate...maybe cuz with USAttitude?...fave is Yolanda or pretty well any European or Aussie rider.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

SirCamsmorethanalot: Gotcha 😀. I didn’t know a thing about XC. Didn’t know the names or faces. Downhill is my primary interest. I started watching Red Bull’s Fast Life series that showcased 2 new young guns vying to be contenders over several years: Finn Iles (downhill) and Kate Courtney (XC). Found it absolutely riveting and entertaining. In women’s XC Yolanda dominated the first year. I found her to be an absolute conundrum. If I met Jolanda on the street, not knowing who she was, with all that hair and makeup, and with that little stick body of hers, not in a million years would I guess that such a tenacious, world class, winning athletic lurked within. I watched the series in order and didn’t “cheat” by googling 2019’s results. It was a total surprise to me that Kate ended up taking the title. Finn didn’t fair nearly as good. Finn went from maybe being the best junior men’s DH ever to getting his azz handed to him over and over by the pros - especially Loic Bruni (of course). That may be the best sports series I’ve ever watched. In any sport. So now I’m very interested in watching next years women’s XC. BTW I’m American so I was rooting for Kate. But never expected her to do so good 😊

What is Zlatan Ibrahimovic doing there while anthem being sang ? :D:D

[@dereks66]

Because when not scoring goals he spends his downtime at MTB Events as a mechanic.

[@sfer1]

Pedo Zlatan.

[@Robert-pn3cq]

He's just thinking maybe he will try a new sport now, he was mistaken for a woman so that's why he got into the women's race

[@aaronfrancisco3296]

Is that Ibra at 3:12

I’m new to xc I’ve raced Mx but I’m now really getting into xc. Are the female riders better when it comes to xc racing? Sorry if that sounds wrong. I’m more interested in watching them anyways the men’s races are not as fun to watch

[@sfer1]

No, the fastest female is 15-20% slower than the fastest male, but the women's races tend to be more interesting to watch, because there're more riders capable of winning.

Good to see Bart Brentjens still around. That was my era UCI MTB

[@LeMADFacteur]

The womens xco this year was super exciting, really opposite to the mens. Loved it.

[@xpinete7109]

I am agree with you!

[@sfer1]

The 2018 final in La Bresse was far more existing. Both Kate and Jolanda did horribly in this race. The one who did less badly ended up taking the title.

[@jaxoncurrie8892]

Kate your my inspiration and I'm sure you are to many other riders

She votes for Trump!!!!! USA USA USA USA.................... good ole american women.............nothing like em.

[@Superdukedotnet]

I think she's a little too smart to vote for that buffoon....

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

Why is Kate so annoying? There's a subtle arrogance or some such undertone that the other women have not devolved to. Maybe it is a USA thing exemplified by Trump!

[@Superdukedotnet]

Why are you so annoying?
