Like the Wind Storytelling
Don’t Call It a Comeback
Sport, at the top level, is all about controlling the controllables. The best athletes in any discipline have mastery over as many of the different elements that make up their sport as possible. Perfect preparation, rest, rituals, kit choices, psychology, psyching out opponents… it’s all a game of bending reality to the athlete’s will.

Back On Track
In the Japan National Stadium, there is an architectural detail that’s hard to spot when the space is packed with 65,000 athletics fans.

Being the Change
Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (also known as the UTMB) is like the Super Bowl or FA Cup Final of trail racing. It brings together many of the best trail runners in the world, who want to test their mettle on the iconic route through the Alps.
The Road to Redemption
Who is Mikey Kratzer? If you ask the man himself, he’ll tell you that it depends on when you got to know him – because Mikey is a changed man.
Driven By a Dream
Habtom Samuel doesn’t give up when things get hard. Even when a race becomes impossibly difficult, when he is literally knocked down, when others would surely quit, the idea of surrender doesn’t occur to him.
