The Other 3 Years | The Olympian Journey Podcast

Kristi Wagner invites you on her journey to make the 2024 Olympic Team. Each week, she'll share what being an elite athlete in training really looks like: the ups and downs, life on the road, how to stay motivated with a goal so far away, the effects on things like mental health and relationships, and how it can all be thrown off by anything; from a meal to the weather. The Other 3 Years is a podcast that will serve as inspiration to anyone with a dream they’re determined to make a reality.

    Taking Big Swings, with Rudy Winkler | Episode 68

    While Kristi’s away at the Olympics, we kick off this episode with a conversation between producer Christine O’Donnell and world rowing commentator Colleen Saville about Kristi’s races in Paris. Then we dive into her interview with Rudy Winkler, American track and field athlete who competes in the hammer throw and weight throw. Rudy is the current American Record Holder in the hammer toss with a distance of 82.71m. He has finished in the top 8 at his last 4 World Championship and Olympic finals, and is a 3x Olympian who is on Team USA in Paris with Kristi right now. Rudy shares with Kristi how this niche sport was perfect for a self-described “big kid,” what makes this sport a 98% mental game, and how avoiding superstition and embracing anxiety has helped him achieve his goals. Plus, Rudy gives us a hint of how you can tell if he’s happy with his throw or not. They also speak candidly on their complicating feelings about dedicating so much of their lives to sport, and how they find balance (or not) with other priorities.

    Let the Games Begin! Kristi’s Pre-Olympics Q&A | Episode 67

    It’s go time! Kristi answers some of our burning pre-Olympics questions as she heads to Paris for the Summer 2024 Games where she is competing in the women’s double sculls. Some questions get deep (has being on Team USA made her more of a patriot?), some…not so much (is she going to try a chocolate chip cookie croissant?). She tells about how visualization and meditation help her get ready for her races, would she do it all over again if she knew what she knows now, and the most important question: has she gotten any sweet swag yet?

Having competed everywhere from India to Chile, Ally shares what it sounds like in a stadium when you’re playing a team in their home country.  We also hear how her team’s culture of balance and joy has created space for success, the importance of having a plan, and why she tries to learn something new every day - on and off the pitch.  Plus: Kristi’s counting down to Paris with gelato and trivia in Italy.

    No More Silver Medals, with Ben Weatherwax & Michael Fairley | Episode 65

    This week Kristi chats with two of her old friends, Ben Weatherwax and Michael Fairley, lightweight Harvard Rowing and Saratoga alumni who just won their race at IRAs.  The guys take us back to the beginning of their rowing careers (in fourth grade!) to high school rowing (including winning Nationals) and through their unconventional roads to Harvard.  We hear about how they helped turn their less-than-stellar program to into one of the top programs in the nation, and learned the lesson that more hard work and dedication is usually the answer.  After racking up one too many 2nd place finishes, they made a pledge of “no more silver medals” - and it worked. But watch out for the buoys. Plus: Kristi is rocking Comfort Plus seats and gelato as she trains in Italy, but her traveling library is weighing her down. Will she and Sophia be able to assemble their fan? Stay tuned. Only two weeks to the Olympics! Check out more about Ben & Michael on IG.

    Learning to Love the Process, with Mary Whipple | Episode 64

    Get ready to get pumped up! In this week’s energetic episode, host Kristi Wagner chats with Mary Whipple, the former Team USA coxswain for the Women’s 8, 2x Olympian with two gold and one silver medal, 5x world champion, and current coach and commentator. Mary tells Kristi about how she came to love coxing after first being disappointed at not being selected as a rower, how not buying into limitations gave her an edge over her competitors and why she started The 9th Seat, which provides resources, training and community for coxswains. Then Mary counts down her top four favorite races, and gives Kristi some solid coaching and a pep talk as she prepares to head to the Olympics. Plus, Kristi’s riding the “gravy train” all the way to Paris (21 days and counting!) Learn about Mary and The 9th Seat here.

    This week we have the impressive Olivia Reeves, a Team USA Olympic Weightlifter in the Paris 2024 Games, gold medal winner at the 2024 IWF Championships and 2023 Pan Am Championships, and US women’s record holder. Since Olympic Weightlifting is a new topic for us on the podcast, Olivia explains how the sport works and what a training routine and competition look like.
