On this episode of Beyond the Games, we’re joined by Winter Olympian and luge star Kate Hansen, whose path to the Olympics started almost by accident. What began as a reluctant win quickly became an all-consuming pursuit, costing her a “normal” high school experience as she pushed her body—and emotions—to the limit on her way to competing at the Sochi Olympics.

After retirement, Kate reinvented herself once again, becoming a major voice of the sport as a broadcast host. We chat with Kate about the sacrifices required to chase greatness in a lesser-known sport, and how those years ultimately shaped the woman she is today.

British Olympic medalist and world-class hurdler Tasha Danvers shares her journey beyond the track. In this episode, Tasha opens up about the mindset that led her to bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the backlash she faced after announcing her pregnancy, and the challenges of redefining herself after retirement. From mental health advocacy to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Tasha reveals how she found purpose, power, and a second act beyond the Games.
