Kitzbühel, Austria
In Kitzbühel, cheering a shared passion.
MY MOMENT
Where the Legends Set Off.
I went to Kitzbühel for the opening of that edition of Red Bull X-Alps and watched the Prologue begin. There I encountered athletes I had long followed: Simon Oberrauner, Damien Lacaze, Chrigel Maurer, Aaron Durogati and others. Names familiar from race coverage were suddenly right in front of me.
I also cheered on the Chinese athlete Xiaobei Yu. Standing in the same mountain wind as everyone set off, I remember not only the famous names but the shared passion around me. This photograph preserves a moment in the sky above Kitzbühel.
