Paris Henken Part 1: Rio

Paris Henken is from Coronado California where she first learned how to sail 29ers. She was still in high-school when she got to try the 49erFX, the then new women's Olympic class sailboat. Her good family friend happened to be the high-performance director of US Olympic sailing and pushed her to give it a go with teammate Helena Scutt. The journey wasn't easy and had one especially uncomfortable speed bump in a foreign hospital, but eventually the pair made it to the Olympics with a little help from their coach Willie McBride. On this episode we talk to both Paris and her coach Willie about that journey and how they tackled some of the challenges along the way.
