Episode 345 - Matthew Hauser Interview

Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

2024 is here! An Olympic year! And as we get closer and closer to Paris 2024, what better way to start the year with an interview with an athlete who will be competing at the Olympics in July and is in with a real shot at winning a medal, Aussie triathlete Matthew Hauser! Matt goes over his journey through the sport, including his early 'addiction' to triathlon that set him on his future career path and which other sport he very nearly pursued instead. We also learn from Matt how the heartbreak of not being able to compete in the Youth Olympics in 2014 helped push him further in his career as well as getting an insight into his two very unique Commonwealth Games experiences in 2018 and 2022. Added to this we learn more about his Olympic experiences in Tokyo and the difficulties it brought, how his recent form is helping him towards Paris and find out how he thinks Kanye West would do at triathlon. It's an incredible chat that is the perfect way to start off your year! Don't miss it!
