- North America
Film maker: Megan Mayhew Bergman, Simon Perkins
Lea Davison has always found her power through riding a mountain bike. A two-time Olympian, and one of the most decorated American women in the sport, Lea knows the toil, pain, and commitment it takes to compete at the highest level. But behind the accolades, she views her relationship with mountain biking as a lifelong journey filled with thrills and heartbreaks, where she picked up pieces of herself along the way and eventually found unconditional love. This in turn unlocked the freedom to truly embrace risk, which elevated her relationship with mountain biking above the pursuit of medals and fueled her desire to evolve the sport beyond the inequities and barriers she encountered, making it different for the next generation of female riders.
