How the U.S. Army Trains Olympic Athletes
Manage episode 434130613 series 2496403
In Paris this month, SSG Leonard Korir competed in the challenging Men’s Marathon event at the 2024 Olympics. He completed the August 10th race with a time of 2 hours, 18 minutes and 45 seconds. Also fortunate to take part in the 2016 event in the 10,000-meter category, this year’s Olympic qualification is the culmination of an impressive career that’s taken him from Kenya to Iona College and now the Army’s World Class Athletic Program. Host LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith sits down with SSG Korir to discuss what it takes to become an Olympic athlete, how his career was influenced by strong mentors and coaches, and why he’s committed to the U.S. Army and a life of service.
