Episode 296 - Susanne Grainger Interview

Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

It's a rowing kind of day on Off The Podium as we bring you a great interview with two-time Olympic Canadian rower and Olympic gold medallist Susanne Grainger to learn more about her incredible journey in the sport! We find out her unique way of starting in the sport and why finding the "last tall person sport out there she hadn't tried" was the start of something big for her. We also find out about her progression through the ranks and overcoming a medical condition that had the chance to derail her promising career. Added to that we learn about using the disappointment of Rio to help towards Tokyo, why she always takes her medal with her and telling us about a rowing movie that exists that needs to be seen to be believed. It's an epic chat that no Olympic fan should miss!
