She became Olympic Champion in her home nation of France on the roaring streets of Paris in 2024 and then World Champion later that year. Eighteen months and a few hard days later, Cassandre Beaugrand joins Chasing the Burn for a reflective and transparent conversation on the biggest day in her career and the year that followed. We discuss her approach to pressure, the absence of an instruction manual on life after Olympic gold, how she navigated 2025 and how lessons learnt will guide her 2026 and beyond (spoiler- day by day).
