On the latest episode of The Breakdown, 2025 INFR Breakaway World Champion Megan Lunak opens up about the four-run performance that earned her the gold buckle in Las Vegas—and the decades of resilience, heartbreak and faith that made that moment possible.
Lunak won the title on Oct. 18 with a 13.41-second total on four head, earning $7,523 and securing the biggest win of her career. But on the podcast, she makes one thing clear: the buckle is only part of the story.
