Show Notes
This week on Rugby Rodeo, Jess and Ellie are joined by a VERY special guest… Olympic skeleton gold medallist Tabby Stoecker in the Spotify studio!
From flying head-first down an ice track at ridiculous speeds (seriously… how is that even a sport?!) to standing at the top of an Olympic final with the world watching — Tabby takes us inside one of the most extreme sports on the planet.
We get into:
-
What skeleton actually is (and why it’s completely insane)
-
Just how fast you’re going… and how you even steer 😳
-
The reality of crashes, injuries, and fear (or lack of it…)
-
Her mad journey into the sport via an Instagram talent ID
-
From gymnastics + circus school to Olympic gold…
-
What training looks like when there’s no ice track in the UK
-
The pressure of that final run… and what goes through your head
-
Winning gold with Matt Weston and how they celebrated
-
The reality of funding and life as an Olympic athlete
It’s a wild one this week — proper insight, big laughs, and a sport that makes rugby look… relatively sensible.
We’ll be back next week with more Rodeo chaos… but for now…
YEEHAW 🤠
