Hunter Armstrong: Challenging Road to Olympic Gold
About this episode
Join the Propulsion Swimming Podcast as we sit down with USA Swimmer, Hunter Armstrong. Fresh off his second relay gold medal at the Paris Olympics in the 4x100m Freestyle, Hunter opens up about the challenging road he's faced over the last 12 months to victory.
He shares his struggles with getting out of bed in the lead-up to the US trials, where for 3 out of 5 months he would be consistently missing practice. Despite considering quitting the sport, Hunter persevered.
Even with two Olympic golds under his belt, Hunter doesn't view them as his peak. He's determined to address what he perceives as "failures" in his individual events, particularly the 100m Backstroke.
Will the backstroke remain his focus moving forward? What does the future hold for his swimming career? We delve deep into these questions in this raw and honest podcast episode.
