This week we're kicking off a new mini-series called "The Shakeout Podcast: Olympic-Bound Canadians". We’re now less than 6 weeks out from the start of the Tokyo Olympics, and Athletics Canada is poised to send a bigger team this year than in almost any other Olympics of the last 2 decades. Our depth is incredible and our athletes have stepped up brilliantly under the challenging conditions of the last year. Over the next several weeks, we will be sitting down with some of our country’s best runners who are, in all likelihood, Tokyo-bound. 

Each episode will focus on a different event group and sex category. We’ll chat about athletes’ preparation for the Olympics, their goals, their major competitors and other exciting storylines to follow. Our first episode features the Women’s 800m with Melissa Bishop-Nriagu, Lindsey Butterworth and Maddy Kelly.
