25 Years of World Cup Racing - RACHEL ATHERTON

Since the turn of the century, Rachel Atherton has propelled herself into the pantheon of downhill legends. Just one woman stands between her and a claim at the greatest racer ever and with the wins still racking up at breakneck speed, there's every chance that Anne Caro's record of 41 wins will soon be shattered soon.
In the first of our series of video interviews with World Cup legends, we chat to Rachel about her rise through the ranks and life as a champion.

The camera adjustment just past 3:00 minutes: "Sure we're interviewing an amazing female athlete, but who's the brunnette in the back licking yogurt off a spoon like her life depends on it? Pane left!"

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

The person behind the camera is only human and probably kicking themselves they didn't bring a second camera so they could get it in focus. :D

[@dmac8247]

[@stefanoskam3578]

[@ashworth614]

Thats sad to hear her and Gee don't get on as well any more.

[@stuartwoodburn2653]

I think a lot of Rachal's success is because of her mental strength in resent years no just that she has successful brothers.

[@CristianValenzuela2155]

Stuart Woodburn what's resent?

[@jere473]

4:05 "It's hard to win a world cup, right?" ....Seriously..?

[@peterepka239]

"we don't get on any more" - oooohhh interesting.

[@TheDave000]

Gee and Dan Atherton are only that good on a bike because their sister is Rachel Atherton.

[@tsunamitube3351]

😅

[@David-fk3cx]

Is it even an Atherton interview if they don't say yeno?

[@technicalscience]

"It's hard to win a world cup, right?"
No shit, Sherlock. That's why only one person in the whole world can do it... What kind of stupid question is that?
