The Road to Tokyo - Ep #11 - Alex Porter - Bouncing back to win bronze at Tokyo 2020!

I’ve conducted lots of incredible interviews in the past few
years and this one well and truly kept me on the edge of my seat.


Alex Porter is a fantastic bloke and his determination and
positive attitude is incredible especially considering his dream
of winning gold at Tokyo 2020 came crashing down literally.


Alex's handlebars inexcusably collapsed during the 4000 metre
team pursuit cycling race.


We spoke about the incident and Alex described the feeling
afterwards and injuries that occurred which could’ve been a heck
of a lot worse considering he was travelling at 65km/h.


Alex and I also discussed the feeling of joy when he found out
that he was going to compete at his first Olympics and what it
was like inside the village, his Olympic experience growing up as
a kid, funny team mates and how they dealt with the Tokyo
Olympics being postponed for twelve months.


Thanks so much to Alex for his time and for being so open and
honest with his side of the story with what happened at Tokyo, to
Rory Noke from Podbooth for a great job of filming and editing
the video and to our partners @Renelec Electrical Services and
Anytime Fitness Glenelg for their ongoing support.
