FIGHTING ON HOME SOIL FOR THE VICTORY - Camille Balanche

For any athlete, racing in their home country comes with a lot of excitement and pressure, and it’s no different for Swiss Downhill mountain bike racer Camille Balanche.
In this mini documentary, we went behind the scenes and followed Camille during the first World Cup of the 2023 season in Lenzerheide, Switzerland, as she juggled the pressures of seeking to win a race on home ground, from packing up at home and preparing for a fortnight on the road, to meeting up with teammates and friends on the World Cup circuit for the first time this year and getting to grips with a new racing format.

Cam said in an interview with Elliot Jackson that she hasn't got any fans. That's BS. I am one! I love her riding style. She's graceful like a Gazelle. And she's one of the few that can bring it and give us a real competition.

3 years into DH she became a World Champion. Let that sink in.

By that I mean sometimes the younger athletes to the sport bring the most fire and as you can see camilles work ethic is world class, therefore the outcome of performance is world class.

I hope she is healing ok and her path to recovery is positive from that horrible road gap crash
