The Danish Ida Mathilde Steensgaard33 years old, is one of the most prominent athletes on the international scene, despite the fact that her specialty (OCR) does not have the popularity of the 100 meters or the marathon.
OCR (Obstacles Courses Racing) stands for Obstacle Course. In this discipline, in addition to running, athletes must cross various obstacles, such as climbing ropes, lifting heavy objects, crawling under barbed wire or climbing through holds. These tests are, ultimately, a mixture of speed, strength, endurance and skill.
Returning to Ida Mathilde, the Dane has silver medals in European and world championships, and in 2019 she managed to occupy the position No. 1 in the world ranking. His merits attracted the attention of Red Bulland since then the athlete has been part of the family of the sports energy drink brand.
Last October, the athlete shared on social networks his latest creation. Thanks to the help of Red Bull, the athlete has created what, according to her, is the toughest OCR circuit in the world. Even a dedicated athlete like her took 11 days to complete the circuit without failures or falls.
