KYE WHYTE ON WINNING AN OLYMPIC MEDAL, HIS CHILDHOOD AND LOOKING AHEAD TO PARIS
Season 12, Episode 4, Jul 21, 11:06 PM
Another week of the #MondayMile podcast, and I’m joined by the ‘Prince of Peckham’ - BMX superstar @kyewhyte
Kye has been riding since the age of 3, joined by his brothers on the track. With their dad coaching them too, it's clear BMX runs in his blood.
Kye has been riding since the age of 3, joined by his brothers on the track. With their dad coaching them too, it's clear BMX runs in his blood.
He won a silver medal at his first Olympic games at the INCREDIBLE age of 21, becoming the first ever British athlete to win a medal for BMX racing – how insane!
We delve deep into Kye’s childhood, growing up in Peckham and how BMX ‘kept [him] on the right path’. We even discuss that iconic moment that appeared in every British newspaper, where he picked up his friend and teammate @bethanyshriever after she clinched the gold medal
Kye is a true champion of the people, and I can’t wait to see him smash it in Paris. Fingers crossed for the gold!
