    In this episode, Katie and Elizabeth Beisel sit down with 3x Olympic gold medalist, 26x World Champion, 7x world record holder, and Hungarian swimming legend Katinka Hosszú! They dive into the mindset shifts that turned her into the “Iron Lady,” how learning to lose became her secret weapon, and the moment a fourth-place finish changed everything. Katinka opens up about the grind before Rio, why “balance” didn’t exist in her world, and the surprising truth about how it really feels to win Olympic gold. She also shares powerful reflections on identity, confidence, and what it takes to dominate on the world stage.

    Being able to flip turn both ways isn’t just a cool trick—it can actually change the way you race. In this video, I break down how ambidextrous turns helped me stay composed in Tokyo, and why this is a skill every swimmer should train. Whether it’s to keep your head clear or to stay unpredictable, flipping both ways gives you options in high-pressure moments.

    The cavernous Itakeskus swimming hall in Finland houses a complex of pools and saunas, but in just a couple of days it can be transformed into a vast underground bomb shelter with a capacity of nearly 4,000 people. It’s just one of a number of shelters across the country that during peacetime house everything from skateparks to playgrounds, but also form a vital part of Finland’s civil defence strategy and could provide a model for other European nations looking to ramp up preparedness after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
