Christian Maurer & Thomas Theurillat: They did it again!

We admit, we have been kind of glued to the live tracking of Red Bull X Alps over the past few days. And we are thrilled: Christian Maurer  – supported by Thomas Theurillat – has won again, the third time in a row and by arriving in Monaco in under a week, which is a new record. Congratulations!

During their preparations last October, the two of them talked about what it takes to win this adventure on the TEDxZurich stage. Watch them present their success story about preparation, teamwork and coolness, once again proven to work out perfectly:
