Dame Lisa Carrington - Her shocking build-up to the 2024 Olympics.

Since we last spoke to Dame Lisa Carrington she has won three Olympic gold medals in Paris – bringing her career tally to an astounding eight gold medals – and cementing her place amongst the world’s greatest ever Olympians.

So we had a lot to catch up about.

Lisa shared exclusive details about her journey to winning three gold medals in Paris and solidifying herself as our greatest-ever Olympian, we heard about:

• the most difficult year of her career and how close she came to walking away

• smashing world records in camp and training through sickness

• why she makes her husband a coffee every morning

• the teamwork involved in the triple gold medal triumph

• the decision-making process to determine if she’ll continue in the boat

• and becoming an author

It was a really special episode, Lisa was an open book – and there are so many incredible nuggets of wisdom, inspiration and glimpse into her elite mindset sprinkled across this episode.

After listening, you really will understand how she’s won 8 Olympic gold medals. It’s not just the discipline and the drive, it’s the thought that goes into every decision along the way.

We felt so incredibly privileged to have a front row seat with one of NZ’s greatest athletes, and hope you enjoy.
