At the Vilnius Book Fair, three remarkable Lithuanian athletes, including ultramarathon runner A. Sorokinas, swimmer Juneta Krylovaitė, and animator Meinardas Valkevičius, shared their extraordinary feats and experiences in endurance sports. Sorokinas reflected on his past endeavors and expressed that he often feels ready to give up halfway through races, yet he continues to push through. Krylovaitė entertained the audience with her pre-race fears, sharing how she researched the dangers of swimming in the English Channel, while Valkevičius brought a lighter note, recounting how he received delicious snacks as motivation along his journey across the Baltic Sea.

The discussion revolved around David Goggins' book "Can't Hurt Me"—which emphasizes mental toughness, discipline, and resilience—published in Lithuania by Eugrimas. The critics have lauded the book as one of the most compelling tales of modern endurance. During the conversation guided by endurance sports promoter and content creator Paulius Mikolaitis-Paul de Miko, the athletes exchanged insights on how they confront psychological barriers in their endeavors. The narrative showcases the blend of fear and perseverance prevalent in extreme sports and encourages readers to challenge their limits.

The event serves not only to promote the book but also highlights the inspiring lives of Lithuanian athletes who embody the essence of grit and determination in the face of physical and mental challenges. The audience was left motivated by the athletes' stories, emphasizing that limitations are often a mental construct and can be overcome with perseverance and dedication. This dialogue opens the gateway for more discussions surrounding endurance sports within Lithuania, potentially inspiring a new generation to engage in such challenging pursuits.
