Today on the podcast is Kyra Condie! Kyra will be competing for Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics in climbing. She is a pro climber and started climbing at age 11. Early on, she found out that she has idiopathic scoliosis so she had to have some pretty major surgeries as a young child. She had a spinal fusion to correct her more than 70 degree curvature and it took several months to recover. After recovering from that surgery, she started competing in climbing and she won her first major competition after that surgery. Since then, she has qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games and she has become a bouldering world cup finalist and is a regular at pro competitions around the US. She shares in this episode what it is like to climb as a professional. In this episode, Kyra also explains what the climbing competition will look like at the Olympic games.
So excited to cheer Kyra on at the Olympics this summer!
