A radio documentary chronicling Swiss 100m sprinter Ajla Del Ponte's preparation for the Paris 2024 Olympic selection process. From an audio diary of her life as an athlete, the documentary transforms into a story of the superhuman effort and sheer willpower that drives even those who fail to reach the podium, often too quickly forgotten.
