Ep79: Adelle Tracey - Olympian and Jamaican Champion


Listen Later

We sit down with Olympic middle-distance athlete, Adelle Tracey, as she shares the journey of her running career and identity.

 

From a silver medal at the European Youth Olympics at just 16, to being selected by Dame Kelly Holmes as a London 2012 torchbearer, to finally stepping onto the Olympic stage in Paris 2024, we dive into the pivotal moments that shaped her career.

 

We talk about switching allegiances from GB to Jamaica, the sense of belonging that came with it, and what it meant to become the Jamaican 1500m champion and part of a historic first in the women’s 800m at the Nationals Champs.

 

We also explore the mental and emotional resilience required to stay at the top of elite sport, the reality of behind the scenes of professional athletics, and how she navigates tactical decision-making, setbacks, and the unique challenges of 800m/1500m racing.
