Ep. 8 Torin Yater-Wallace

Adam Rippon

Have you ever met someone after seeing their hilarious social media posts and they've been, well, a bit disappointing in real life? Well, US figure skater Adam Rippon is nothing like that. He's great online and in person. Freestyle skier Torin Yater-Wallace has had so many setbacks but his inner strength has somehow got him here to PyeongChang 2018. Plus, episode eight also can't be without a nod to a special day in the calendar- Haeji Kim tells Ed what happens with Valentine's Day here in South Korea. (Re-sent without 10 mins of silence... Sorry about that!)

Olympic Channel podcast with Torin Yater-Wallace and Adam Rippon

Torin Yater-Wallace had to overcome more challenges than anyone I’ve talked to.  From growing up with a dad in prison, to moving countess times as a kid, to injuries, to a sickness that became so bad that he was medically paralyzed for 10 days.  Through all of this, Torin had skiing and all his dreams revolved around becoming a professional.  With all the cards stacked against him, Torin never quit or felt sorry for himself and made his dreams happen.  The funny thing is, listening to the podcast, it doesn’t even sound like he likes halfpipe skiing.
