I read some quotes by photographers in a BBC article about her race, and while I don't dispute that they may have gotten a little snap happy, it sounded like they were pretty emotional and invested in her finish as well. There were some amazing shots that really captured her strength and her leaving every bit of it on the trail!
@@majortakleef8445 it's their job to try and get the best shot in the moment. not saying that's a good thing, just is what it is. And it really didn't look like the camera guy interfered with any aid to Jasmine, so no harm done. Still, Laz is a real one for shutting that shit down immediately.
I am proud of anyone that can complete this race, and this includes Jasmin. However, if you think this is the best moment in sports in the past 63 years...well, I will say you either have a shoddy (meant in jest) memory, or don't watch sports that often. Just a few examples: The Miracle on Ice: 1980 US Hockey team, Serena Williams Wins First Grand Slam: She was 17 years old, Jackie Robinson breaks color barrier 1947, Mary Lou Retton perfect 10: she was 16, Rumble in the Jungle. I am not against this particular feat in any way. I just think if we look at sports history and all the amazing accomplishments we will find a plethora of amazing moments. Jasmine deserves or moment, but lets not take away all the other moments in history from all other sports.
"99 seconds" - I'm going to write that in permanent marker on my left hand for the Lakeland 100 in July, so I see it every time I glance at my watch - inspirational.
such an emotional video. it costs netflix 100 million and 6 months to try and create that emotion, and all it took jasmin is 59.9 hours and some snacks. amazing race, effort and woman.
Laz assuming the role of angry old man shaking stick and shouting at media to get back was great. I can't wait for the documentaries on this race. What a legend.
I can’t express the amount of admiration I have for this woman. Thank you for capturing this beautiful moment. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to see Jasmin sitting at the yellow gate of frozen head state park with out my eyes tearing up. Just incredible.
Finishing 5 laps is one of the greatest feats a human can achieve in my opinion. This is not just an athletic achievement, but a mental and emotional and spiritual milestone. Cheers to all the finishers this year.
I thought i was done tearing up at this remarkable achievement but nope! It's still getting me. That is the most extreme footage i've seen yet. I've seen loads of clips with the reaction of women & girls in that crowd & every one of them sends shiver down my spine. You can almost see the pride & inspiration pouring out of them & that little girls face at the end...well doesn't that say it all. Jasmine paris you are a bloody hero! Thanks for a great vid H&K.
Such a great accomplishment for Jasmine, and I'm continually amazed and grateful for what Gary Cantrell (Laz) has done for ultrarunning. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Jasmin is who has inspired me to start training for a marathon! I have been running on and off for years but I’ve just started taking it seriously. I hope I can continue and I’ll always come back to videos like this for inspiration
Absolutely AMAZING! I'm not an emotional person, but this got me. Congratulations on your accomplishment. The fact that you could push through at the end like that is just inspiring. ❤.
"Laz refuses to count her pages. Instead, he says to Carl, “I’m gonna make you count ‘em. If there’s missing page, you’ll be the most hated man in ultrarunning.” 😂 From "Barkley 2024: A bit traumatic and wonderful" by Jared Beasly for Ultrarunning Magazin
Just like when the 1st woman made it up the wall on Ninja Warrior, we will see many more women finish every year after. (Yes, I know Barkley is more challenging.) Once a physical barrier is broken, suddenly & subsequently, it's no longer a barrier.
@@nickolasstrudwick7232 true. But most British people prefer tea, especially when they've just been through something awful. 😉 I don't know what proportion of Barkley runners are Brits but the organisers could offer tea.
@@GlasPthalocyanine Wrong im English..i guarantee you Brits are not drinking tea in times of distress...30 years ago maybe😂..im a runner after any endurance event we are like everyone else...something cool with lots of sugar
Oh man, i bet that coke tasted so good after all that energy expenditure. I know a big ole sugary drink tastes so good after a 20 mile bike ride, I can't imagine after finishing the Barkley just exhausted. What a performance, she's a beast!
Who was the guy with the blue hoodie who after somebody yelled for the media to move, couldn’t hold back and had to squeeze in to try and get as many photos as possible? Even to the point of removing the camera strap from his neck and holding his camera directly above her head. Bloody good job you didn’t drop your camera on her face!! 🤬
I wonder if Courtney Dauwalter can also finish 5 loops. She looks to me to be the most likely candidate to repeat Jasmine’s achievement. Now that Jasmine showed it’s possible, who knows… 😊
Not sure - I think they are very different altletes. Courtney would be the faster runner, while Jasmin may have a different type of toughness. Jasmin would not be the overall winner of the MOAB 240 while Courtney would not be the overall winner of the Spine. They have different strenghts.
How many women in total have attempted the Barkley since its inception? I’m wondering if this means that thanks to Jasmin, women are disproportionately likely to finish the Barkley compared to men?
From snippets I’ve seen in documentaries, several women have attempted it. I don’t know if the mix is 50/50 so to speak but it didn’t seem overwhelmingly favored towards men. In fact, at these kinds of distances men and women are effectively the same. Regardless it’s an incredible achievement. Most of the 40 runners each year complete at most one loop and call it quits. By loop 3 there are usually less than 5 people left going for it.
So the support team can't approach when a runner comes in? I've seen it for other finishers, for example Karel. I don't mean to judge and I really wanna stay out of it, I'm sure there is a good reason, it's just that it tugs at me that nobody is there for the first 30 seconds to take care of her and give her the most basic of aid, almost like nobody is there at all. I don't know what to think really. If anybody was there or knows more, is there some rule or reason behind that?
I dunno girls he is gonna make it harder next years like by 2 or 3 % over all, something like 5 extra k on each loop and one extra page . 5 finishers is like a kick in the teeth to the mountain and its keeper lex . Paris might actually be the only one ever There is always an exception to prove a rule , , and if teams start joining against him he will split the books . Making it impossible to work as a team . The good thing is , it's a closed loop, they always come back around and have the opportunities to quit So they are never too far away, in case anyone dies. No one wants that .
Probably not. The weather was kind in 2023 and 2024 leading to the eight finishers. I saw in some interviews - torrential rain came in an hour after Jasmin finished. If that had came in a few hours earlier, it is highly unlikely that there would have been five finishers. Very fine margins in that race.
Who the hell is "Jasmins" (thumbnail)? Oh, I understand now, you meant to write "Jasmin's finish" with the appropriate punctuation, but you didn't do it, probably because you don't know grammar.
Yup! Ultra running is an incredible sport where men and women compete on equal footing… the gender gap narrows down to nothing at 100 miles, then actually goes the other way and women have the edge over 200 miles.
