Lightning Round
What’s your favorite pre-race music?
Hardcore rap.
What’s your favorite track in the world and why?
I love the track in St. Moritz (Switzerland), it has a beautiful backdrop at a great altitude.
Any special lacing tricks for your shoes?
I like to slide the laces into the shoe, double secure.
What’s your go-to pre-race meal? How about post-race meal?
Pre-race is always the same. Some gluten-free pancakes with Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and some berries! Post-race is just finding somewhere late night with family and friends.
If you could do one thing in life better, what would it be?
I definitely want to get better at languages. My biggest hobby right now is trying to learn Spanish!
“My favorite memory from Tokyo was coming down the homestretch of the 1500m final. I ran the best race of my life on the biggest stage, in the fastest Olympic 1500m to date, and I accomplished exactly what I said I would do, which was to run in the Olympic final for a medal.”
