Reigning lightweight Olympic Champion, Kellie Harrington, is counting down the days to Paris 2024 by sharing how she makes sure she is one of the few in the final strides to victory. Kellie, after her semi-final in Tokyo, said “The last mile is never crowded and that’s the way it does feel sometimes. It does feel very lonely, but I suppose that’s the difference to be able to hold on in there and keep it going.” It is that instinct, that perseverance and drive, that brought her gold. And, she added before her Olympic final “I’ve had heartbreak. I know what it is to fail and I know how hard it is to pick yourself back up after that. This is why I am who I am, and why I am here today, because I’m not afraid of failure. I know what it is. I’m Kellie Harrington. I’m myself and I make my own pathway.” Kellie became a double Olympian during the 2023 European Games – where she qualified for Paris and came home with lightweight gold. Throughout this series, as Kellie prepares for the Paris Games, she will share the habits she has built, in the ring, in training and in life, that set her apart. This will include how she stays motivated, how she uses nutrition, S&C and roadwork to make the most of her boxing skills, how she plans her training within the High Performance framework, how she balances a demanding training schedule, her self-care and mental health practices. In an illustrious career, Kellie has won Olympic and World gold, World silver, European Championships gold and bronze, European Games gold, European Union silver, numerous gold at Strandja and 11 Irish National Elite titles. #boxing #boxer #irishboxing #kellieharrington #Olympian #olympicchampion #paris2024 #teamireland #champion #movtivational #Motivation #drive #excellence #sportireland #Athlete #roadtoparis2024 #planning
