What an absolute legend! It’s so honourable of Jim to acknowledge his wife’s sacrifical support. Also, Jim and Zach’s bromance and respect towards each other is the coolest thing ever. As usual, great interview Dylan. Freetrail has done a phenomenal job this past week in capturing the best bts and most organic chats with some of the best people in our community. Thank you! #cestboncestbon
Jim is such a humble and kind human. But when he had to drop the hammer he did with a level of athleticism that is unrivaled. But Zach and Germain were incredible as well. What an incredible race and finishers on the podium.
What a "giggle" you have placed in my life! Mr brother, was also a runner, and years ago said you were so advanced, that you would explode beyond recovery, but.....What a supporter Jesse has been ..Great!
I am a big fan of Kilian but Jim as well as Zach are amazing athletes and great guys overall. I've been very happy seeing Jim winning this UTMB, he deserved it, he has been grinding hard these last few years. Congrats Jim!
I was so sad when last year he just didn't make it to the podium after leading for such a while. This year he revenged himself! What a hero. I enjoyed the race very much.
So glad to have witnessed Jim win this year! I dragged my tired post-CCC a** to the city center to watch Jim take the win, and he was welcomed with SUCH joy by the crowds...I'll definitely cherish this memory!
So great to see such a quality human achieve this level of success.

Was cheering out there for Jim and am so happy he did it. Huge congrats to Jim for this great accomplishment! I feel like many French think alike and were genuinely hoping very hard it would happen. Thanks Dybo for the interview!
Good interview. I would encourage DBo to add quick mentions of how far through the race each of the aid stations you mention are--especially the first time you mention it. It would help listeners who haven't run the race (the vast majority of us, I assume) understand the competitive aspect of the race much better.
I’ve been following Jim for the past 7 years and it’s pretty interesting to hear him interviewed now compared to the early days. I can certainly forgive the cockiness of young Jim, the way he conducts himself now he’s a brilliant ambassador for the sport and comes across as a very special human. Happy for him!
It’s never over til it’s over!!! I was riveted to the feed!!! And then that hug with Zach @the finish!!! (I’m not crying. you’re crying). So emotional!!! Loved it all…now I can breathe
So stoked for Jim to win it finally after all the attempts and blowing up and after all the sacrifice moving even to a different country! Great year for USA overseas! Not gonna lie it was quite annoying seeing a couple of haters on the main live feed constantly saying that he had DNF or that he would .. the win was a perfect cherry on top!
I was rooting for Zach but i couldn't be happier with the way the men's and women's races went. Thank you very much DBo and Corrine for all the content and commentary
Congrats to this big dude Jim, super simple humble and down to earth guy. Threw up an amazing and very inspiring performance. It's really really a joy to have witnessed the whole thing and run through the emotions. WS up next!
Another awesome interview. Love it. Any chance you could give the mileage when speaking of various aid stations? That would really help us visualize the race. I’m a big fan and maybe it’s just me, but I have close to zero idea of the location each aid station. Of course I could totally be an outlier.
Congrats to Jim! Please when he's talking let him talk. With all due respect, interrupting him to tell us what you thought he was doing is less interesting than what he is or may tell us. But thank you for the interview. Go Jim!

Thank you so much!!
I love this interview, so cool to see the rapport between Dbo and Jim

Hard to not be a fan of any of them really!
Yeah, I mean he moved to France just to train for UTMB for Pete sake
Such a buzz seeing Jim finally win! So happy for him, and Jess!
Excellent interview with insightful questions from an experienced runner perspective. Great work.
Well done Jim. I want to give you a big hug man. Huge congratulations man! Great interview,
Thanks!
What an effort Jim! Black Canyon is calling your name

Good point, will try to do this better in the future!
Such a historical win! Congrats Jim!

Jim is such a sweetheart❤❤❤
The race strategy and mental winning are awesome. Congrats Jim.
Hardrock! Hardrock! Hardrock. Come on Jim.
We are all Scott Jurek. Massive sigh of relief. Congratulations Jim!!
Well done man! Great race, brilliant interview! Pure inspiration!

Couldn't like this video fast enough! Huge congrats to Jim, such a great race and battle with Zach & Serge🤯 🙌
I was rooting for Zach but i couldn't be happier with the way the men's and women's races went. Thank you very much DBo and Corrine for all the content and commentary
Brilliant interview DBo. So pleased for Jim. Thanks for all the brilliant interviews and content this week
Well done Jim!! The absolute goat 🐐
Such fantastic post-race interviews. We have loved the coverage all week, Freetrail!
Dude he did it!!! Congrats man wow
He did it!
I enjoyed this as I enjoyed the UTMB race coverage. Congrats from Germany! Well deserved.
Congrats to this big dude Jim, super simple humble and down to earth guy. Threw up an amazing and very inspiring performance. It's really really a joy to have witnessed the whole thing and run through the emotions. WS up next!
Thanks Mr. Bowman. Great interview! Congrats to Jim.
So so happy for Jim and Jess, what an inspiration! Dylan, thanks for the interview, very high quality.
Not wrong turns this time😂 GO JIM!
NO WRONG TURNS
Great interview! Jim's honest takes on the whole experience were so refreshing to hear. Good job DBo!
Legend.
So happy for Jim
❤
So stoked for this guy and his journey. Legend!
Congrats to Jim! Appreciate the interview DBo!
Thanks for watching!
What an awesome post race interview of both zach and jim. Huge kudos to Dbo. Perfect work.
Great interview. Thank you! Go Jim
Awesome..congrats Jim! Love the part about Jurek...epic exchange there.
Way to go Champ!
Great to see another Frenchman take the win! Jim is definitely now more French than he is American. He will be a French citizen in 3 years.
He’s got the accent at times.

Zach in my eyes is the Steve Prefontaine of Ultras
What hokas are those in the background?
Surprised anything is 'more affordable' in France.. GW JW🏆
Where can I get that FreeTrail shirt?
Next stop: TOR330
Jim gonna crush the WSER record again...
How about that 1st Time American Male! :)
Hoka is coming back in a very strong way
Congrats to Jim! Please when he's talking let him talk. With all due respect, interrupting him to tell us what you thought he was doing is less interesting than what he is or may tell us. But thank you for the interview. Go Jim!
Please don’t watch our videos, thanks!
🏳️🌈 Jim ❤️ Zack 🏳️🌈
He looks just as rough as i feel 😅
