We like to get our kicks with some great interviews here on Off The Podium and we're returning to our great interviews by bringing you an amazing chat with Australian 2020 Tokyo Olympian Stacey Hymer to learn about her journey in the great sport of Taekwondo and more about this incredible sport that saw her achieve her dream of becoming an Olympian! We find out just what drew her into the sport and what the progression was like from a junior right through to her Olympic debut. We also find out about the path Australian Taekwondo athletes have to take and how they are able to overcome the challenges that face them against the more established nations in the sport. Added to this we find out her incredibly raw and personal emotional reaction to making the Olympic squad in 2020 as well as her raw and personal emotional reaction to being bundled out in the first round and find out how things are tracking towards Paris next year and why Australia is about to be exposed to the incredible world of Taekwondo like it has never been before! It's another incredible chat that you simply won't want to miss! If you wish to donate to help Stacey get to Paris next year, click here: https://bit.ly/3ud8dbZ
