[INTERPOSING VOICES]
SINA FREI: For me, riding a bike is just,
I feel like the freedom when I'm on the bike.
I can really think about nothing else than just enjoying
and explore the nature.

IRENE FREI: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
JEROME ALIX: That's her life, bicycle is her life.
I cannot be more proud of that girl.
COMMENTATOR 1: Sina Frei comes in a shot at third place,
a top Swiss rider today.
JEROME ALIX: Every training it's 100% what
is on the training plan.
I think that's why she's so successful and so consistent
as a rider.
SINA FREI: I didn't realize that it's more than a hobby.
I never wanted to do it professional.
For me, this season was with so many highlights.
IRENE FREI: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
SINA FREI: My name is Sina Frei.
I'm 24 years old, and I'm a professional mountain biker
for Specialized Factory Racing.
KURT FREI: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
SINA FREI: I really wanted to join him,
because we never did holidays outside of Switzerland.
But then he told me, I'm sorry, you cannot come,
because you cannot ride a bike.
So, I started with cycling.
And one year later, I could join him
and my brother for mountain bike holidays in Spain.
IRENE FREI: [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
- Welcome to a brand new season of the Mercedes-Benz UCI Cross
Country World Cup.
SINA FREI: Yeah, I'm super lucky to have
such a professional team-like specialists around me.
JEROME ALIX: Every day we line up for a race,
we go there for win.
We don't go there for to finish second.
COMMENTATOR 1: And we go green, and we're off, then.

COMMENTATOR 2: Sina Frei over that big rock.
COMMENTATOR 1: Sina Frei comes in a shot at third place,
the top Swiss rider today.
Would anyone contend with her!
AH!
Sina Frei!
SINA FREI: To be the first ever short track world
champion showed me that if I believe in myself
that everything is possible.
Crossing the finish line second at the Tokyo Olympics
was probably the most emotional finish.
IRENE FREI: [NON-ENGLISH]
SINA FREI: The Cape Epic, for me, was a cool experience.
Laura and I, we were nearly 24 hours
all the time / and to finish the season on such a high Was?
something super special.

She's always smiling, always funny.

JEROME ALIX: Yeah, for Sina, I'm really proud.
With all the pressure she put herself up
at the beginning of the season, to see her like, full girth
at the middle and end of season, that's incredible.
SINA FREI: My goal for the next season is,
of course, all the World Cup races, the [INAUDIBLE],,
and the World Championship, and to have fun on my bike,
which is the most important thing.
