Erika Reineke Part 1

Hold Fast: An Olympic Sailing Podcast - Ein Podcast von Nathan Housberg

United States competitive sailor Erika Reineke went to her first Olympic trials in 2015 before she had even graduated college. She didn't qualify as a sailor for the 2016 Rio Olympics, but she was unfazed. She kept training and eventually returned to the Olympic trials this time in 2019 in Sakaiminato City, Japan feeling stronger than ever. In part 1 Reineke tells us about how she got into sailing, her first Olympic trials in 2015, and how she dealt with pressure at such a high stakes event.
