Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

Episode 590 - Olivia McTaggart Interview


Listen Later

It's one of the rare track & field disciplines we've never had the honour of talking to an athlete from, and today that changes as we dive into the epic sport of pole vault with incredible New Zealand Olympian Olivia McTaggart, who joins us for an amazing interview about her, her sport and everything else in between! We find out how a serious injury in a different sport led her to switching to pole vault, and just how she was able to adapt to it so quickly. We also learn about the endless pursuit of that next height in her sport, and the frustrations that come from constantly aiming to go just a few centimetres better. Added to that, we hear more about her Olympic experience in Paris, why the Olympics seemingly runs in her family, and just what the deal is with her Australian connection and why she competes in the black colours of New Zealand rather than the green and gold from down under. It's an amazing chat with an amazing athlete that we know you will love! So get listening!
