Emilie Dahmen: HYROX’s Youngest Elite 15 Athlete

This week we’re joined by Emilie Dahmen — Elite 15 athlete, Nike athlete and 7th place finisher at the 2026 HYROX World Championships.We catch up with Emilie after a huge season that saw her qualify for the Elite 15 at the final opportunity in Warsaw before going on to finish 7th at Worlds in Stockholm.We talk about the pressure of qualifying, racing with the expectation of knowing you should be there, and how Emilie learned to trust her own race rather than getting caught up in what everyone else was doing.We also get into life as a Nike athlete, the team now behind her training, why she chose to take a longer off-season, and what she’s working on to find the next few minutes in her performance.With more strength to build, running to improve and big goals in mind, Emilie is just getting started.Follow Emilie over on TikTok & Instagram : @emilie.dmnIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the show and leaving a review, it helps us reach more people and speak to more incredible guests!  Find us @weareatalanta and remember to tag us when you listen!
