36. Joe Choong

Fencing, swimming, horse riding, shooting and running. Not a group of sports regularly attempted by your average Joe, however this week JA & Mac speak to a very special Joe who has conquered them all. Joe Choong is Britain's first ever Olympic gold medallist in the men's modern pentathlon, winning in stunning fashion with an Olympic record at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. We cover Joe's complete journey thus far, finding out how the hell you actually get into a sport like the modern pentathlon and how it originated. We had so much fun with Joe, he was so down to earth and really opened up about his passion for the different disciplines, as well as his overall enjoyment of competing at the highest level. Big thanks again to Joe for sitting down with us and giving up some of his time. This is a fun one! Thank you for listening to the show.
