In this insightful episode of Never Stumped, Jamie Gane chats with Lena, a German adaptive athlete with an invisible disability who’s breaking ground — and barriers — in the world of Obstacle Course Racing.

As the only woman in her category at the European Championships, Lena reflects on what it means to compete when your disability isn’t immediately visible, how races can adapt fairly, and the importance of outreach in growing inclusive sport.

A thoughtful conversation on confidence, equity, and what it takes to be seen for who you truly are.
