Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist

About this episode

Grant Fisher discusses his transition to road racing and his Olympic achievements.

Grant Fisher joins us to discuss his gradual transition to the roads, having made history at Paris 2024 by becoming the first American man to win medals in both the 5000m and 10,000m at the same Olympic Games. Fisher recently made his half marathon debut in New York, but his track career is nowhere near finished, and he's due to compete at the Oslo Diamond League meeting on 10 June.
