Tokyo 2020 special with Eddy Alvarez and Kevin Aymoz

International Skating Union Season 1 Episode 11

Welcome to episode 11 of The Ice Skating Podcast – a Tokyo 2020 special! 

As the Games get underway in Japan, we've got two exclusive interviews. The first is with the remarkable Eddy Alvarez. Short Track speed skating fans will remember Eddy as one of the USA's finest racers at Sochi 2014, where he picked up a relay silver medal. 

Now, Eddy has made it to Tokyo 2020 as part of the American baseball team. He can join a very exclusive group of people to have medalled at both the Winter and Summer Games. 

We've also got a great chat with French Figure Skater Kevin Aymoz – who could have been a professional gymnast, had he not chosen the ice. Kevin reflects on what he loves about both sports, and looks ahead to Beijing 2022. 

The Ice Skating Podcast is hosted by Luke Norman and Nick Moore every fortnight.
