#128 - Katie Shanahan on Olympic Selection and Games Preparation

On this episode of the pullbuoy podcast we are joined by Katie Shanahan, a swimmer now headed to her first Olympics in Paris. Katie shares her experiences training at altitude in Flagstaff and reflects on the Olympic selection process as well as how she ended up focussing on the 400m IM and 200m backstroke. We talk about her mindset and goals going into the Games, the thrill of being part of the Olympic village and much more, including her TV commentary debut. --------------------- To watch the film "Imogen Clark: Leaving it all in the Pool" head to https://www.pullbuoy.co.uk/imogen/ --------------------- Review, subscribe, share on Apple, Google, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts --------------------- Connect on social: - X  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Instagram  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoyuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@pullbuoyuk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------------------- Episode Artwork: European Aquatics
