Flame Bearers: UNEDITED

UNEDITED: I Chose NOT To Decide


Listen Later

“I chose not to decide—and that led me here.”
Growing up on a small Swiss farm with nine siblings, Anna Jurt learned early that resilience wasn’t optional—it was survival. Now, at just 23, she’s a European Vice Champion and a Paris 2024 Olympiqn in one of the most grueling and misunderstood sports: Modern Pentathlon.
In this conversation, Anna opens up about her unconventional path—from exchanging her mom’s prized cow for a “unicorn” pony to finding her calling in a sport that demands mastery of five disciplines. “It’s not about the results. It’s about loving the process.” With a new format shaking up her sport and her own setbacks on the road to Paris, Anna shares what it really takes to push through failure, adapt, and thrive under pressure.
Her advice? “Be patient. Put in the work. Even if it’s not the outcome you expect, something good will come.” Whether you’re an athlete or just navigating life’s obstacles, Anna’s story will have you rethinking how you measure success—and resilience.
