THE ROOKIES - CHASING DREAMS EP. 02

Follow the GTWS 2021 rookies Iris Pessey, Ana Cufer, and Bailey Kowalczyk on their journey as they make the step up to elite-level racing. Things to learn, fears to overcome, it won't be easy to play on the big stage amongst the best trail runners in the world. It’s a make or break situation for this year’s three rookies.

Thanks for talking about struggles with insomnia. We tend to think athletes are invincible. It helps to know it affects all. Brave to talk about it.

These are so wonderful to watch - so inspiring. There is resonance to be found in the vulnerabilities the athletes express - how our bodies are ultimately fragile, the demands of competing professionally, and, most importantly, how deeply we value life and well-being, especially when our optimal health is taken away from us. It is an art of being able to tune in to the rhythms of your body - I have been guilty on several occasions in the past of not caring for it perhaps as much as I should have. Thankful for these signs that the body conveys to us - for it means there is something to be healed, and something to be learnt from the pain and challenge. Much love to all those involved with the production of this :) Keep up the excellent work, and thank you very much for all your efforts! :D

Great series so far. When athletes show their vulnerability it’s a gift. The struggles are so interesting and the response to it even more so. Pretty sure the last thing I was thinking was man those close up interviews were a problem…..

I was surprised not to hear a single word about Nienke. She was the true sensation of 2021!

[@DavidHellard]

she didn't run until the fourth race

[@markmastoras1976]

excellent series! , take a step back on the interview close ups though please

[@jsncdy]

Exactly this, wide and close is very unflattering angle.

[@Fulforce]

Who are the three at 25:22 on the podium?

Sería mucho trabajo subtitularlo en Español? Somos unos cuantos millones y seguro que os daría más difusión

Maybe if these teams paid them well, they could trail run for a profession. They wouldn't be going to school.

[@rschreck876]

Bailey quit yet she is still a pro runner for Salomon. 🤷🏻‍♂️
