Ep. 189 - Stories from the Olympics and Paralympics

Send us Fan Mail “For the first two editions (1896 and 1900), participation in [the Olympics] Games was literally a prize in itself.” In this episode I am sharing a few stories or background to a few women who competed in the Olympics and a few who will compete in the upcoming paralympics and the honor of just getting there. I share about two pregnant women who competed in the olympics, an archer and a fencer Also an 58 year old woman who also made it to the Olympic in table tennis, a dream of hers since she was 16. Then I share a little about 3 women who will compete in the paralympics. Kim Crosby, McKensie Coan and Julia Gaffney. Women overcoming great odds to compete at this level. Pretty cool their backstories. For show notes come to www.findingthefloor.com/ep189 I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at [email protected] or dm @findingthefloor on instagram.
