Patrick and Myriam, candidate for the new season of “Pekin Express”.

TELEVISION – She did it for her grandfather and for her sister. Myriam, 22 years old, takes part in the adventure of Beijing Express with her grandpa Patrick. In the episode broadcast this Thursday, February 15, she moved viewers by surpassing herself during a very trying trek in Indonesia.

An extract was published on M6’s X account (formerly Twitter) during the show. While all the pairs had the mission to climb the Kawah Ijen volcano with several kilos of sulfur in a cart and to bring as much as possible to the summit, Myriam begins to have difficulty breathing.

“Blow well, breathe well”, then intimates his 68-year-old grandfather. If he is very athletic and runs several kilometers a day, the young girl is asthmatic, she reveals during an interview after the event. “There I start to feel that my lungs are hurting and I start to wheeze a little. It hurts me, I start to cry”she says.

« We are not losers, we are winners”

The images return to the ascent. On her knees, the exhausted young girl apologizes to her grandfather who encourages her: “You are the strongest. » She will then draw on her last strength. “It’s too hard, but I have to go to the end”, she motivates herself. She also remembers her sister’s words: “When you can’t do something, you say: We’re not losers, we’re winners. »

The candidates had a time limit to reach the top. And it was less than a minute from the end of the timer that Patrick and Myriam took up the challenge, in sixth position and without sulfur, but with the honor of having finished this exhausting hike. The spectators were moved, as you can see below.

The host Stéphane Rotenberg specifies in voice-over that the pair decided to abandon their bags except for a symbolic stone to have the privilege of seeing the summit of the volcano. ” We did it !
