Summary: World champion Hurdler and acclaimed new author, Perdita Felicien will be covering track and field events at the Tokyo Olympics. She shares her insights about the racing days to come on the Player's Own Voice podcast this morning. Spoiler alert- there are no firm predictions about who is going to take the women's 100m finals, but plenty of confidence in saying that particular race will be one for the ages. Felicien is also frankly obsessed with Beach volleyball. And weightlifting. Which only proves, when it comes to the Olympics, everyone has their thing. Host Anastasia Bucsis can't resist probing some of the still raw stories from Perdita's book. 'My Mother's Daughter' describes she and her mom's own childhood, and the precarious circumstances that the two of them managed to overcome as they fled poverty, abuse, and uncertainty. Perdita tells a story like she runs: Fast. Powerful. And leaving you no choice but to pay attention.
