Red Bull athlete Mathilde Gremaud (Switzerland), 25, is the focus of She Who Flies, a new 45-minute documentary directed by Matt Pain, premiering worldwide on Red Bull TV on 17 November 2025. The film explores Gremaud’s evolution as a generational talent who has redefined women’s freeskiing – from pioneering the Switch Double Cork 1440 (two flips and four horizontal rotations, launched and landed backwards) to becoming the first female athlete to win three FIS World Cup Crystal Globes in a single season.
With her trademark precision and creativity, Gremaud makes the extraordinary look effortless, yet She Who Flies reveals the demanding reality behind the medals: major knee surgery in 2017, the departure of her long-time coach, family heartbreak, and coping with anxiety. Through candid narration and interviews with coaches, family, and fellow athletes, the film offers a rare look at the mindset required to stay at the top of an evolving sport.
“I believe that winning and failing are just what I’m going through to become a better version of myself,” says Gremaud. “It’s definitely through my sport and everything I go through that my person is being shaped. I want to be able to share that with people, and I want to try and inspire them.”
At just 25, Gremaud has achieved what few athletes dream of: two World Championship titles (2023, 2025), three X Games golds (2017, 2019, 2021), and Olympic gold, silver, and bronze (2022) – all while continuously pushing the progression of women’s freeskiing.
Storyline
She Who Flies explores the duality that defines Mathilde Gremaud: fearless and fluid in the air, yet introspective when the cameras stop. Through highs and lows, the film follows her search for balance between ambition and inner peace. The story culminates at the 2025 Freeski World Championships in Switzerland, where an unexpected fall tests her resilience and brings her story full circle on home snow.
Watch She Who Flies from 17 November 2025 on Red Bull TV.

Athlete Quotes
“You win gold and it’s a big, big high. At some point, it hits that, ‘This is very positive, but now I’m empty,’ and you don’t know what to do. As you reach the highest you can reach, you ask yourself what’s next,” says Gremaud.
“I wanted to see how far I could push the limits and play my part in the progression of women’s sports,” she adds.
