Dennis 600 Posted August 11, 2019 #71 Share Posted August 11, 2019 22 minutes ago, phelps said: 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 https://cyclingtips.com/2018/02/olympic-mtb-champ-jenny-rissveds-ends-contract-address-mental-health/ and here https://www.pinkbike.com/news/olympic-champion-jenny-rissveds-and-scott-sram-agreed-to-part-ways-2018.html then the renaissance https://www.brujulabike.com/jenny-rissveds-specialized-team-31/ and the happy ending https://www.dirtyheart.co.za/single-post/2019/07/08/Inspired-By-Jenny-Rissveds I didn't know here story, but as someone who battled with depression and constant suicidal thoughts, this inspires me so much.

Thank you for the links! Definitely take a look at her reaction after the race then, seeing and hearing it is a lot stronger than just reading it. It'll be somewhere at the end (obviously ). https://www.redbull.com/my-en/events/AP-1XJS6EYM12111/live/AP-1XH4Y72KW1W11 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
