Supersapiens Films | Freddy Ovett's Road To Berlin

Dive deep into the life of Freddy Ovett, a young man born into the world of elite sport, given his father, Steve Ovett's legendary achievements including his Olympic Gold in the 800 meters during the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.
But Freddy's story is uniquely his own. Starting as an runner, his time at the University of Oregon was cut short due to injury, leading him down an unexpected path toward cycling. Today, Freddy stands tall as one of the top gravel riders in the world.
His spontaneous decision to run the LA Marathon in 2021, completing it in an impressive 2:48:55 despite minimal preparation, is another testament to his incredible fortitude. Now, Freddy sets his eyes on the Berlin Marathon 2022, aiming for a strong finish time supported now with genuine preparation and an unlost passion for running.

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe. Chapeau!

Wow Freddy, what an amazing film. Do good things 🙂

Very interesting experiment. 2:45 is an amazing time. That's something to be immensely proud of. I have no doubt he could have done 2:25 with more sport specific training. Mileage matters when preparing for a marathon.

I honestly think you could run an excellent 10k without the same mental and physical damage. Nice film🙂

It’s sad he didn’t follow through with his athletics career like his father
