A Conversation with Sammie Maxwell - Dirt Dispatch

What this episode covers

In this episode, Zoe sits down with Sammie Maxwell, the current leader of the 2025 UCI World Cup XCO standings, for a conversation that’s as much about life as it is about racing. Sammie shares what it was like to line up at the Olympic Games, the lessons she carried forward, and how that experience shapes her perspective this season. She also opens up about her studies in science and her complex relationship with health and nutrition—how it’s fueled her growth but also brought challenges she’s had to confront along the way. From the highs of competition to the struggles behind the scenes, this is an honest, inspiring look at one of mountain biking’s brightest young stars, told in her own words.
