Today on the show I chat with one of Australia's most accomplished middle-distance women of all time, a 3-time Olympic finalist and Australian record holder, Genevieve Gregson.
The last time you saw Genevieve she suffered a ruptured Achilles in the Tokyo Olympics Steeplechase final.
But if you think that's the end of her career you’d be wrong.
Genevieve is no stranger to injury and the rehab process and has certainly proven that she has the strength and will to do everything to come back fitter, stronger and even more determined.
But her current journey is one she is experiencing for the first time. 35 weeks pregnant at the time of recording, she shares the excitement of becoming a mother, what that means as an elite athlete and all the considerations that come with starting a family, juggling training, sponsorship contracts and life.
Gen shares what life was like growing up, the pivotal moments she has her parents to thank for and what she hopes to adopt when she becomes a mother.
We also talk about coping with injury and setbacks, dive into exactly what happened leading up to the Tokyo Olympics final and of course her comeback campaign for the Paris Olympics.
She’s an incredible athlete and an even more incredible woman, this conversation is sure to inspire you, enjoy this episode with Genevieve Gregson.
