Red Bull X-Alps 2023 | Austria

I worked as a News Editor for the 2023 Red Bull X-Alps. This was a three-week event where 32 athletes raced across the Alps from Austria to Mont Blanc and back again.

I managed the flow of event news – sourcing, verifying and writing stories – and delivering it to fans as quickly as possible. In the newsroom atmosphere, I wrote stories such as Junming Song and his 74km ultramarathon which he ran overnight to avoid elimination; and eight-time defending champion, Chrigel Maurer, being moved to tears when he arrived first into his home region.

Here are a selection of my favourites.
