Plenty more interviews to come but for this episode, enjoy listening to Flora Duffy & I discuss our reactions to 70.3 Worlds in Marbella plus a few other topics.

Emma Lombardi
After she stormed into Olympic distance racing by winning the under 23 World Champs in 2021 Emma quickly emerged as a medal contender for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Preparing for a home Olympic Games at just 22 with pressure and noise that most can't even begin to comprehend, the Frenchwoman ended up with four 4th place finishes across the four races in Paris (two test event in 2023 and two Olympic races in 2024). She gracefully stepped away from racing for some time in 2025 and has returned with renewed confidence and perspective that is impossible to miss.
