The Word with Wendy Petrie

Teenage swimming sensation Erika Fairweather on making an Olympic final beside her idol, Katie Ledecky. ”I realised I am good enough”


Listen Later

I chat to teenage swimming sensation Erika Fairweather on not only making the Toyko Olympics at just 17 years old but also an Olympic final. "I realised I am good enough." The Dunedin head girl at Kavanagh College tells me how she literally shakes all the nerves out before a big race & shares her mindset on coming back from disappointment. Fairweather turned down lucrative American scholarships to stick with her coach & her dream of making her second Olympics, Paris 2024.
