Episode 571 - Heming Hu Interview

from Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast · host Ben Waterworth

We always love covering a sport we’ve never explored on the show before, and today is one of those days. For the very first time, we dive into table tennis with two-time Australian Olympian Heming Hu, who takes us through his incredible career and Olympic experiences. Heming opens up about how he got involved in the sport, why more people should give table tennis a go, and just how demanding it is both physically and mentally. He also shares how he overcame key mental demons to remain at the top of the sport in Australia. On top of that, Heming explains how he’s remained a viral sensation in his post-Olympic career and delivers some unbelievable impersonations that you truly have to hear to believe. It’s an incredibly raw, open, and honest chat and one you won’t want to miss.
