How The UCI Stole Her Shot at The 2024 Olympics - Chelsea Wolfe

Chelsea Wolfe is a BMX Freestyle Athlete who was ranked Top 5 in the world leading into the World Championships in 2023. She suddenly got news overnight that she could no longer compete under new UCI legislation that extended to the International Olympic Committee (IOC). 

Chelsea's entire life was turned upside down in an instant after having based her financial livelihood and the bulk of her existence around competing internationally in freestyle BMX when she was informed she'd no longer be able to compete in the sport she loved so much. 

Chelsea talks us through that experience, what it was like to re-evaluate her whole life's work, her relationship with the bike, competition, and herself and ultimately has great insight into approaching topics from a HUMAN perspective. 

This was such an insightful conversation. Chelsea is a fantastic competitor and we're excited to see her back out and competing in the world of fixed gear racing. 

We hope that you give this one a full listen and enjoy the conversation and Chelsea's perspective as much as we did.
