OFF THE BRAKES - Downhill-Doku mit Camille Balanche und Emilie Siegenthaler (with english subtitles)

In Teil 1 von «Off the Brakes» begleiten wir die beiden Downhill-Bikerinnen Camille Balanche und Emilie Siegenthaler. Sie sind Weltmeisterin und Weltcupsiegerin, Konkurrentinnen - und ein Liebespaar. Wir sprechen mit ihren Familien und sehen die beiden im harten Training auf dem Weg zum nächsten Sieg. Wie funktioniert die Beziehung zwischen Konkurrentinnen? Wie gehen sie mit Verletzungen und Rückschlägen um? Und was passiert in der kommenden Saison? Die MySports-Dokumentation mit englischen Untertiteln.

Why does a documentary about downhill have to be about sexuality??? Never seen a documentary about the Atherton that discusses their sexuality, or something about Bruno, Gwin or anyone else that shows them kissing their partner and then has their parents comment about “acceptance”. I don’t care either way what their sexuality is, I am just confused as to what place this has in such a documentary. It’s about a sport, not sex!

you answered your own question in your comment, and don't even know it. that's the irony of it all - and the reason why it'll take a few more years to reach that acceptance.

@@outsidewatopia homosexuality will NEVER reach “acceptance” on par with heterosexuality. You’ve been sold something that is impossible. A minority, and in this case a very small one at that can never have the same level of acceptance and integration as the majority. This current temporary over exaggerated promotion of everything gay in the West is a mere fashion, that will inevitably pass and homosexuality will return to the closet were it has always been.

@@asifitmatters1 I'm afraid the only thing that's locked in a small closet is your brain. But there's hope for you - forward thinking countries like syria, iran, north korea will surely have many many more decades of homophopia. Just in case it's all a bit too confusing for you in the west.
