Olympic-Bound Canadians: Women’s 800m with Melissa Bishop-Nriagu, Lindsey Butterworth and Maddy Kelly

This week we’re kicking off a new mini-series called “The Shakeout Podcast: Olympic-Bound Canadians”. We’re now less than 6 weeks out from the start of the Tokyo Olympics, and Athletics Canada is poised to send a bigger team this year than in almost any other Olympics of the last 2 decades. Over the next several weeks, we will sit down with some of our country’s best runners who are, in all likelihood, Tokyo-bound.

Each episode will focus on a different event group and sex category. We’ll chat about athletes’ preparation for the Games, their goals, their major competitors and other exciting storylines to follow. Our first episode features the Women’s 800m with Melissa Bishop-Nriagu, Lindsey Butterworth and Maddy Kelly.
