E87 - Meet the Olympians LIVE Part 2
D
41:22Dave RydingGUEST
I put myself in a situation where I thought, "Maybe I can get something out of it," and then got into the flow and did really well in the end.
M
41:29Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
Yeah, for me, I was at my first Paralympics at the age of 19, and I crashed in the downhill my first event.
M
41:38Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
I was bib number one, had a hell of a lot of pressure on me, and absolutely crashed.
M
41:45Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
And thankfully not injured, but I knew I had to do that same run pretty much the next day.
M
41:52Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
So for me, it was getting through that, "Oh, my God, I could do this again.
M
41:58Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
I could crash and burn horribly again." But actually, I just trusted the process and trusted in my guide and my teammates and, and went, "Do you know what? Let's just go and give this another go." And yeah, ended up h- coming back with a bronze medal, which was, I didn't even realize.
M
42:15Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
I was so relieved to get through the finish line after that, that race, I didn't r- even realize.
T
43:32Tom GreenwayGUEST
And that happened to bring the best out of my performance, which was good, 'cause in an adrenaline-fueled sport, it's really easy to get all worked up, and actually doing the opposite of that was really helpful for me.
Menna Fitzpatrick and Katie Guest: Teaming up to tackle the Paralympics
M
2:13Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
So my parents loved to ski and they were just like, well, we want to go skiing, but we've got three kids.
M
2:20Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
So why not just try and get the whole family involved? And yeah, they were very much like, let's see how it goes.
M
2:28Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
let's just try and get the girls to fall in love with skiing like we have.
M
2:33Menna FitzpatrickGUEST
So I think we actually did more tobogganing that day or that week rather than actually skiing.

Mena, what kinds of things is Katie saying to you and is what is said, can it be quite individual to each partnership? Because I guess it's about that information coming as quickly and as succinctly as possible.
