"Remi": A Throwback to a Salomon TV Film Classic
Briefly

"This throwback Salomon TV episode goes on to show Rémi making his own espresso, going on leisurely walks around his idyllic Swiss village, and even dabbling in some afternoon fishing. It almost feels as if they are trying to convince us that Rémi is like a real person, or something."
"Rémis burst onto the scene by winning the 2015 Skyrunner World Series in the vertical kilometer discipline at 20 years old, and since then has won the 2022 Golden Trail World Series, and broke the seemingly impossible course record on the Pikes Peak Ascent in 2023."
"We are shown the type of dedicated training it takes for someone like Rémi to be utterly comfortable running and scrambling in jagged Alpine terrain, but even the narrators aren't buying it when Rémi tries to convince us that he is 'not really a runner.'"
"It is refreshing that the wholeness of Rémi is portrayed in this video as a 'mountain lover,' and so much more. Rémi does not fit in the 'Running Only Box,' but he is just like the rest of us, with diverse interests like fishing, metalworking, cooking, skiing, cycling, hiking, and playing a bit of soccer."
