Reminds me of Jasmin Paris- the heroic story speaks for itself yet the modesty, work ethic and family values makes us mere mortals instant fans. Epic really
One of the best things about our sport is the quality of the people who are our champions. Kilian, Francois, Jim, Courtney, Katie etc and now Vincent. Humble, respectful, well mannered role models. This does not happen in any other sport. A credit to this man for keeping that legacy going.
@@konstruktivismuskonstru9360 We'll have agree to disagree here sir, as I couldn't disagree more. Jim has always shown great respect for his fellow runners and the greats of the sport before him. In victory and defeat he is the same, as evidenced by cheering Vincent, in person, on the last climb.

I don’t wish to be rude, but just want to offer feedback that this interviewer seems like she’s rushing Vincent and trying to get the interview over with. The constant “okay” and other interrupting words take away from the conversation.
My friends and I volunteered at the 87 mile aid station at Kodiak last year. I can't believe this is the guy we saw coming in first through the aid station. How cool!
Congratulations! For the interviewer: It would be great to be quiet while someone is talking, interviewing is different than a conversation and even for a conversation you said "OK" etc very often. For 99% only say sth if you want to say sth or in order to keep a answer short or sometimes if someone needs a little bit of encouragement 🤙✌️
Yeah, this felt really rushed as if the presenter had to go somewhere else. I think the UTMB winner deserved more than 12 minutes interview, especially since he seems to be very eloquent in English and quite eager to talk.
Hi Rob and all, as you can imagine, the winner of UTMB had a lot of responsibilities the day after the race, and we did our very best to maximize the limited time Vincent was available. I hope you can understand there are a lot of behind-the-scenes details that go into making these interviews happen, many of which we don't have control over. (If you can imagine the iRunFar team jogging across town several times on Sunday with bags of camera gear to find and meet six different runners who all had loads of post-race things to do themselves, then that's just a peek into how these post-race interviews happen.) The interviews won't always be perfect, but they will always be our very best given the circumstances. We thank you for your support. -Meghan
What an understated guy. So cool that UTMB can be won by an amateur with a full time job and other interests.

I wouldn't characterize Jim Walmsley as "humble". He may be a nice guy, but he likes to brag and talk of himself as the best...

Hope HOKA gives him a raise
Or sponsor him to become a full time athlete, if he wishes to do so

What a guy!! Really hope he gets what he wants out of trail running! Joy, freedom, career anything he wants!!
Excited for what lies ahead in Vincent’s trailrunning career🎉
What a champion! Thank you iRunFar for the coverage!
Love these interviews! Such a humble champion🎉

I really like it if you learn more about a runner. Thx. And congrats to Vincent. Epic win!

Amazing story. He should be front page news. Love the humility about running ao far so quickly.

Agreed. I was thinking that before reading this post. Nothing personal, just a little help and positive vibe to them.
I think you did a great job with the interview !! 😊
Just fantastic! Congrats Vincent and thanks Sara!
Amazing ! Congratz !

I thought the interview was great. I always come to iRunFarMedia to hear about the race. Keep up the great work!

Please stop interrupting him. It's irritating and rude. This is not how you do an interview
