Luge Star Kate Hansen

On this episode of Beyond the Games, we’re joined by Winter Olympian and luge star Kate Hansen, whose path to the Olympics started almost by accident. What began as a reluctant win quickly became an all-consuming pursuit, costing her a “normal” high school experience as she pushed her body—and emotions—to the limit on her way to competing at the Sochi Olympics.After retirement, Kate reinvented herself once again, becoming a major voice of the sport as a broadcast host. We chat with Kate about the sacrifices required to chase greatness in a lesser-known sport, and how those years ultimately shaped the woman she is today.Follow Kate on IG: https://www.instagram.com/k8ertotz/?hl=en
