This video of Kilian, (the greatest mountain runner on earth) is so full of great quotes, it simply doesn't get old. You hear stories on how humble, what a nice guy he is, and how he really just loves being out there, soaking it all in, and enjoying the scenery. Of course, he loves the competition and wants to win, but deep inside winning to him is much more than finishing first.
This video is great. The whole things just oozes greatness. But then at the very end, his real personality shines through. The written translation in the video doesn't do him justice, especially at the very end. Slight difference in editing, but vastly difference emotion.
"An ultra for me is not a competition, its much more than that.
when you finish a race and you have won, many times, well, you may not be satisfied.
you're happy, but something's missing.
The next day, there is someone coming into the finishline,
and you see him, crying from all the emotion, he's so happy,
and you think : "fuck man... this guy... this guy's really won".
