Emilie Dahmen

Emilie qualifies via AVG: 1:00:28, and her racing style matches that number: calm, consistent, and brutally hard to shake once she locks in. She doesn’t do panic surges — she does precision. That makes her a dangerous Major athlete because Phoenix will punish anyone who races emotionally.

Phoenix storyline: the quiet climber. Emilie’s best days happen when others overcook the first half and she simply keeps executing. She’s also one of the athletes most likely to gain places late because she looks the same at 40 minutes as she does at 10. If the race stays within a minute through the final stations, she becomes a real threat to steal podium spots from bigger “names” — not because she’s flashy, but because she’s clean. In Major racing, clean wins places.
