About this episode
Skiers Sarah and Lasse made history as the first mother and son duo to compete at the same Winter Olympic Games, representing the Mexican team together.
For Sarah, it was never just about medals. In this ‘Dear Son’ episode, she tells Namulanta Kombo about everything that went into getting there: the travel, the long training sessions, the sacrifices, and the determination it took to keep going as both an athlete and a mum.
She also opens up about what it was like juggling those two roles, raising Lasse while still chasing her own dreams, and the balance between supporting him, encouraging him to aim high, and knowing when to step back and let him find his own path.
