Focus: What Drives the World's Top Athletes - Season 2 (2015)

Hang glider Jon Durand and rock climber Sasha DiGiulian may not share much in common on the surface, but under the guise of their respective sports, they share a common competitor: themselves. Find out what lengths two of the world's most daring athletes go to in the quest for reaching their personal best.

Innovation, however big or small, is the lifeblood of professional sport and it's those daring enough to inspire and create change that are the real heroes. Big wave surfer Mark Mathews took the more traditional route to create the most innovative surf event of the 21st Century. Street trial rider Danny MacAskill opted for the contemporary route: a mate, a camera, a computer and YouTube. Both athletes have brought their sports into the global spotlight.

Glory. Every athlete chases it but when presented with an opportunity to seize it - that's when the most exceptional athletes separate themselves from the rest. For child prodigies Daniel Ricciardo and Jess Fox, they're under more pressure than most to prove a life's worth of hype will cement them as some of the best athletes of their generation.
