Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast - A podcast by Ben Waterworth, Colin Hilding & Jarrod Loobeek - Thursdays

An exciting day today on the show as we bring you your first ever taste of Ski Jumping by speaking with Canadian Ale Loutitt about the sport ahead of her Olympic debut in Beijing! We find out just how she got into the sport and her rapid rise through the ranks that are leading her to make her Olympic debut in 2022. We also find out more about the technicalities around the sport, including some of the very unique and odd rules that exist in ski jumping. Added to this we find out just why she was too young to try out for Pyeongchang, and the unique reason why she wasn’t able to compete at the Youth Olympics in 2020. It’s a fascinating, fun and informative chat that you won’t want to miss!
