In the first part of this three-part series, we take a look at the Papendal training group. This group has grown and evolved over the years, expanding beyond its Dutch roots to bring together athletes from around the globe.
Through the highs and lows of the athletics circuit, the group provides a shared environment where athletes can push each other, learn from one another and feel part of something bigger than their individual events.
Featuring Femke Bol, Lieke Klaver, Nadine Visser, Lurdes Gloria Manuel, Attila Molnar and more, alongside coach Laurent Meuwly, we follow the group as they train together and look ahead to a new challenge for them all: the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
