In the second episode of the "Race Back Home" series by the Thömus Maxon racing team, Alessandra Keller and Mathias Flückiger delve deeper into their very personal World Championship year. Together they ask themselves the question: What is the secret of Swiss success in mountain biking? The episode takes a look behind the scenes of Switzerland's unique cross-country system. With Bruno Diethelm, former national coach and current coach at Thömus Akros Youngstars, and Marcel Kuratli, one of the architects of the team structure, she explores the question of why Switzerland keeps producing top riders. What creates the environment in which performance can develop? What role do continuity, enjoyment, down-to-earthness play - and how do you manage not to lose the fun of the sport, even when medals are at stake?
