N1no Beyond Episode 1: Never Quit
The first episode of the video documentary on Nino Schurter accompanies the champion at the first round of the 2024 Crosscountry World Cup in Brazil. The professional mountain biker also reflects on his 2023 season, in which he broke the record for the most World Cup victories of all time. This record is likely to stand for generations and Nino Schurter has entered the history books of MTB sport. How does an athlete start his season when he is the overall winner of the previous year and has just achieved legendary status? What will it take to stop the greatest XC racer in history?
I will certainly always remember the 2023 season. My 34th World Cup victory in Lenzerheide, on my "home mountain", was the fulfilment of a dream. And then to end the season as the overall winner... it doesn't get much better than that! But now I'm focussing on looking ahead and exploring what the 2024 season could hold for me. - Nino Schurter

Now new: N1no Beyond video series EP.4 - The toughest season of Nino's career
Nino Schurter is without doubt the best mountain biker of all time when it comes to XC racing. With 10 elite world championship titles, a whole set of Olympic medals and 36 World Cup victories, he has already achieved and won everything that can be achieved and won. But who is Nino when things don't go according to plan? Find out in the fourth episode of N1no Beyond. Here, the exceptional Swiss talent looks back on one of the toughest racing seasons of his career. A disappointing Olympics and the loss of self-confidence show that it never really gets easier, GOAT (greatest of all time) or not. How does Nino, who has more experience than anyone else on the race track, deal with defeat? And how can time at home - flying helicopters and biking with friends - help him to think clearly again?
Even in your 20th World Cup season, you can still make mistakes. There were ups and downs, and I definitely lost something from the middle of the season onwards. But I still enjoy taking part in races and fighting for top places. Why should I give it up now if I'm still enjoying it? -Nino Schurter
