Rissveds' success is my highlight of the day, especially knowing her recent troubles...:hatoff:

 

@Olympian1010 this could be a really inspiring story to be narrated on Totallympics Media...;)

And to be shared with every athlete and non-athlete with severe mental issues.

Yeah I think the legs of Avancini and Schurter are already burning right now just by thinking about it swhip.gif

 

as expected...MVDP just destroyed al of his opponents...mentally even before than physically...

 

the only one who could at least try to save his name was Schurter...all the others, just gave up the fight before it really started...

the short version:

Jenny was a young champion, who in 2016 already won it all (including the Rio Olympics), but then her life, instead of going downhill, started to climb...

she had to face heavy depression and for quite a while she left cycling and battled her disease...

then this year she came back to cycling (initially, with pretty average results) and in a few months she did even get back to full success (it happened earlier today, even if she was already 3rd last week) on the world stage...

 

the longer version:

start from here

and here

then the renaissance

and the happy ending
