There has never been such a close competition for the UCI XC World Cup title before. All season we saw Kate Courtney go head-to-head with Swiss national champion, Jolanda Neff. Trading rounds and acclimating points for the overall, the final round of the World Cup season came to an intense finale in Snowshoe, USA.
Having lost her UCI World Champion title to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot in Monte Sainte earlier in the season, Kate Courtney laid everything on the line to make up the few points that separated her and Neff.

Watched this after Rising series and went thru a roll of tp crying. She is so full of passion and such a great athlete full of emotion. Thanks to Kate, Nino and all the other athletes for bringing out the best in humankind. Whenever i get fed up with all the crap going around, i watch these people to remind myself what we are capable of as a species.
pure class introducing kates parents.
Awesome season recap! Your perseverance and focus inspire many...I can hardly wait for next season and Tokyo. Enjoy the ice-cream and tacos!
You are amazing, I think your mood is beautiful you transmit a lot of good energy. Congratulations on your achievement.
Good to see Bart Brentjens still around. That was my era UCI MTB
It’s been amazing watching you achieve so much this year! Congratulations and thanks for bringing us all along for the ride!
Great video, guys. Kate has been incredible at inspiring many of us. She rocks!
She annoys!
SirCamsmorethanalot: Ha Ha. How come? Just females in general or Kate in particular? If Kate in particular what competitor do you like?
@@mrsmartypants_1 just Kate...maybe cuz with USAttitude?...fave is Yolanda or pretty well any European or Aussie rider.
SirCamsmorethanalot: Gotcha 😀. I didn’t know a thing about XC. Didn’t know the names or faces. Downhill is my primary interest. I started watching Red Bull’s Fast Life series that showcased 2 new young guns vying to be contenders over several years: Finn Iles (downhill) and Kate Courtney (XC). Found it absolutely riveting and entertaining. In women’s XC Yolanda dominated the first year. I found her to be an absolute conundrum. If I met Jolanda on the street, not knowing who she was, with all that hair and makeup, and with that little stick body of hers, not in a million years would I guess that such a tenacious, world class, winning athletic lurked within. I watched the series in order and didn’t “cheat” by googling 2019’s results. It was a total surprise to me that Kate ended up taking the title. Finn didn’t fair nearly as good. Finn went from maybe being the best junior men’s DH ever to getting his azz handed to him over and over by the pros - especially Loic Bruni (of course). That may be the best sports series I’ve ever watched. In any sport. So now I’m very interested in watching next years women’s XC. BTW I’m American so I was rooting for Kate. But never expected her to do so good 😊
What an awesome atmosphere! I wish I could have been there to soak it up.
Kate your my inspiration and I'm sure you are to many other riders
2019 Snowshoe was a very special day for USA XC. So glad I made the trip.
The womens xco this year was super exciting, really opposite to the mens. Loved it.
I am agree with you!
The 2018 final in La Bresse was far more existing. Both Kate and Jolanda did horribly in this race. The one who did less badly ended up taking the title.
Nice to see Ibrahimovic is into cycling too. Best regards, Zlatan
Great athlete...love her Bike, Scott's bikes are so comfortable.
Kate's spining on the roller looks awesome
Yes good to see Thomas at 1:38 approach you... you should indeed expect a battle
Go Kate!🇺🇲
This was touching. Right on Kate, way to go!!
That's where I'm going wrong! I haven't got gold safety pins
super inspirational

Kate is a national treasure
life may be black & white & legend inherently ingrained surely worth the course, live well yep
Beautiful and strong Lady .
What is Zlatan Ibrahimovic doing there while anthem being sang ? :D:D
Because when not scoring goals he spends his downtime at MTB Events as a mechanic.
Pedo Zlatan.
He's just thinking maybe he will try a new sport now, he was mistaken for a woman so that's why he got into the women's race
Sickkkk
I thought that would be a nice day, but i saw this mustache guy again after couple of weeks...
Dude shave this dill!!!
don't disrespect brad
@@stan4765 No one doing that.
❤❤❤❤❤
that guy behind you is slatan hibraimovich?
3.15 zlatan.. king of sports
I’m new to xc I’ve raced Mx but I’m now really getting into xc. Are the female riders better when it comes to xc racing? Sorry if that sounds wrong. I’m more interested in watching them anyways the men’s races are not as fun to watch
No, the fastest female is 15-20% slower than the fastest male, but the women's races tend to be more interesting to watch, because there're more riders capable of winning.
My dream girl
Song at 7:00 ?
👍❤
♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥
Wow,l’m like
Is that Ibra at 3:12
Cantik dia ni... Hrrrmmm

Jersyne apik
The Australian accent tho
i didnt see kate talk to jolanda at all
I always wonder why, sometimes, she gets his hands on the fork. And if that trick it's used for more people.
Just aiming to get a more aerodynamic position
@@WhosNuMB I suppose, but I did never see something like that, neither nobody doing it before. And I don't know from where this position come, that's what surprise me.
@@davidrodriguez9176 loads of people doin that at marathon races like Cape epic etc
@@frankberg9788 Short people.
@@sfer1 This is the correct answer.
I want to be a cross country rider
Why were the two monsters so out of their normal performance? did they push themselves too far/hard in the days leading up to this race?
3:13 is that fuckin zlatan?!
i like kate courtney shes cute,..,
💁💁💁

👏👏👏🚵♀️💨💨💨
She votes for Trump!!!!! USA USA USA USA.................... good ole american women.............nothing like em.
I think she's a little too smart to vote for that buffoon....
Why is Kate so annoying? There's a subtle arrogance or some such undertone that the other women have not devolved to. Maybe it is a USA thing exemplified by Trump!
Why are you so annoying?
