Today’s podcast features my interview with Gail Devers, a 3-time Olympic gold medalist. Known as the “fastest woman in the world”, Gail has overcome a multitude of obstacles to achieve tremendous success.
At 40 years old, and just 19 months after giving birth to her daughter Karsens, Gail returned to the Millrose Games on February 2nd and won the 60m hurdles; defeating many of the world’s best, including her current protege, Danielle Carruthers.
Download the podcast to hear Gail discuss how “40 is the new 20″, her battle with misdiagnosis and Graves disease, the Gail Devers Foundation, being a coach, her new protégé, the keys to longevity, and her thoughts on trying to compete in the 2008 Olympics.
