The documentaries, Fittest on Earth: A Decade of Fitness, and The Redeemed and the Dominant: Fittest on Earth, focus on select athletes in the last two games and their journeys to earn the title. In January, Fikowski was also featured in GQ Magazine.

The benefit of being on camera as an athlete is that it humbles you, Fikowski said. But the shows don91裸聊视频檛 always tell the whole story, something he91裸聊视频檚 come to terms with.

91裸聊视频淲hen you first start that journey you want (people) to understand (you) and later, down the road you realize it91裸聊视频檚 not for them to understand, it91裸聊视频檚 for you to enjoy those moments and for people to interpret them however they want,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淧art of this journey has been learning to deal with other people91裸聊视频檚 expectations and perceptions of my performance and it91裸聊视频檚 been challenging at times, but it91裸聊视频檚 super rewarding to continue to put myself in a place where I can grow in a lot of different ways and hopefully help young athletes in the future and understand what it means to compete,91裸聊视频� he said.

In Fittest on Earth, Fikowski placed fourth in the first race after he is passed during the final stretch by athlete Sam Briggs. The next year, an in the documentary The Redeemed and the Dominant, he redeemed himself by beating her by a narrow margin in the 2017 games.
