Torun, Poland.

This episode is on the theme of competition and is divided into 3 sections: friendship, nerves and race day prep.I spoke to as many people as possible around the stadium and captured the stadium atmosphere. The lack of range of nationalities is due to the language barrier and some nervousness by athletes to chat, so sorry if your country is not represented. There are wonderful nuggets of information here from athletes of different levels and what's clear is- we all go through the same thing whether we've not made a final or have won medals like many chatting here. I'm really proud of this episode. To help support the podcast &amp; cover costs for more episodes like this, please consider one of the 3 very safe ways below🙏. Your help would be much appreciated.
