Hunt For Glory: The legend of Nino Schurter
Schurter can do much more than simply go uphill fast.
With a record tying five world championship titles to his name, Nino Schurter has taken his place alongside Julien Absalon as one of the greatest mountain bike racers of all time. In this latest episode of Scott’s Hunt For Glory video series, it is Schurter’s competition who tries to put into context the Swiss rider’s many achievements as he heads into the Rio Olympics where he’ll be a favorite for the gold medal. That race is set for August 21, when Schurter will attempt to complete his Olympic medals collection, after winning bronze at Beijing 2008 and silver at London 2012.
