Our great thanks to 2014 and 2018 Cross Country Olympian Phil Bellingham and 2020 Biathlon Youth Olympian Chelsey Johnson for the insights into their journey and success as elite Australian Cross Country and Biathlon athletes.

Hosted by 2 times Olympic Lucy Glanville (Innsbruck 2012 and Sochi 2014) the 30 minutes with Phil and Chelsey, provided insights into their favourite snacks after a hard training session, their favourite training and competition venue, when they first went overseas to train and then compete, what sport they may have become part of if they hadn’t discovered a love for biathlon and cross country skiing, how they prepare for a race and how they manage their own race expectations.

Chelsey gave the biathletes her advice as to how she achieved the best shooting of any of the biathletes at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. She visualizes coming into the Shooting Range, watches the wind flags and aims to hit the 5 targets every-time!

There was some great interaction through zoom chat with plenty of laughs from all who dialled in.

Our great thanks to Chelsey and Phil, along with interviewer Lucy and zoom co-ordinator extraordinaire Brad Greentree.

Make sure you watch out for our next Friday Night Live session, coming soon!
