Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

We're going back to moguls today as we speak with American Olympian Olivia Giaccio about her incredible career and journey in one of our favourite sports we can never get enough of! We learn from Olivia which other sport she grew up playing that she could've potentially made it to the Olympics in and what it was about skiing that made her focus on it as a career. We also learn some great insight into why tearing her ACL was the best thing that ever happened to her and how important her mental health journey was in her recovery from it. Added to this we learn more about her Beijing experiences, just why the 2026 Olympics are seemingly a destiny for her and finding out maybe the most important answer ever on this show by learning about her favourite Meat Loaf song. It's a fun and informative chat that you won't want to miss!
