Today, we hear the story of Jessica O'Connell, 5,000m Track and Field athlete. As she was enjoying Irish dancing as a kid, Jess saw an opportunity in running tracks, to get fitter for dancing; she (and others) saw that she had a natural talent for it. And so, after some time, she went all in on it, and made it to top of world races, including a participation in the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

#64 - 🏃♀️➡️ Anicka Newell | 🏆 "I know I have 4.90m in me”
Today, hear the story of Anicka Newell, member of team Canada in Pole Vault. A great gymnast when she was young, Anicka suffered a pretty bad back injury, which forced her away from the sport. Then, in high school, Anicka was thrown on a pole vault runway, and learnt how to use a pole bwith a soccer coach.. This was obviously not love at first sight with this discipline, but the adrenaline of the jump made Anicka feel like she was flying; and since then, she hasn't looked back, climbing the world rankings, to end up making it to 3 consecutive Olympics. Today, Anicka reflects on what she still has in her to keep pushing forward, and also remembers about the ealy days with sparks in her eyes…
