#118 Christian Taylor [EN] - "I got so obsessed with the world record that sometimes I did lose sight of just having fun"
Description
This week, I’m excited to bring you my conversation with one of the all-time greats in track and field, and I don’t say that lightly! Christian Taylor: two-time Olympic champion, four-time world champion in the triple jump. 😱
Christian is the second-best performer of all time in the event, with a personal best of 18.21 meters, just eight centimeters shy of Jonathan Edwards’ world record.
I met Christian during the World Championships in Tokyo where Christian was a World Athletics ambassador. We recorded this episode in the mixed zone, so you’ll hear some background noise.
It’s a shorter episode than usual, but Christian really opened up, especially about a topic he rarely talks about in interviews.
I hope you’ll enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.
You’re currently listening to the original episode in English, but for anyone who feels more comfortable in French, there’s also a dubbed version available in the podcast feed.
Enjoy!
