Nathalie Brugger: from cancer treatment to the America's Cup

A new interview from the America's Cup YouTube channel's Inside America's Cup series tells the story of Nathalie Brugger, the three-time Swiss Olympian who made it onto the Tudor Team Alinghi crew after being diagnosed with cancer.

It's a personal and candid conversation with Niall Myant-Best about control, identity as an athlete and the power of having a goal to work towards, and well worth the time for anyone who wants to know what lies behind a spot on an America's Cup crew.

Overcoming Cancer and Reaching The America's Cup

During cancer treatment, three-time Swiss Olympian Nathalie Brugger set herself a goal: racing for Tudor Team Alinghi in the America's Cup. She tells Niall Myant-Best the importance of having a goal, what it took to reach the start line, and why she still wants more from sailing.

The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup will be defended in Naples in 2027 by five-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand.
