Asia Insight - Season 9 - Eps 26: Dreaming of a Medal: Mongolia
Mongolian marathon runner Munkhzaya Bayartsogt (26) is a rising star. She broke national records with her very first race at age 19 and has broken 9 more records and won countless international contests since. But the current pandemic has left her in dire straits, as funding has dropped to just 20% of its usual amount. She can't find anywhere to train, and she's even having trouble feeding herself, leading to malnutrition that is affecting her athletic condition. Yet with her family behind her, Munkhzaya continues to run.
