KASIA NIEWIADOMA

BEING ATHLETE
A first portrait in a series written for CANYON




Kasia Niewiadoma is one of the strongest female riders of her generation and one of the most popular. In this portrait short, the Polish-born professional cyclist reflects on being an athlete — the irresolvable conflict between being competitive and caring, unstoppable fatigue and loneliness, and those rare moments of being in a flow state of riding where anything seems possible.

Shot on location on the Balearic Islands and in Girona / Spain, where Kasia Niewiadoma lives with her partner, the artist and former professional cyclist Taylor Phinney.

Produced with the kind support of Women's WorldTeam CANYON//SRAM Racing, Kasia's professional home for years.

»For me it is about balancing between being a woman that is loving and caring and being a fighter that is feisty and not at all polite.«

—Kasia Niewiadoma
