Michael Gunning has been focused for the last four years on earning a spot in the pool of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Now his dreams of his first Olympic Games, like those of so many others, are on hold for another year.
Gunning joins me on this week’s episode of the Five Rings To Rule Them All podcast to talk about how the coronavirus delay to the Olympics has affected him emotionally, as well as how it has changed his training. Hint: He won’t be in the pool anytime soon.
He also shares why he represents Jamaica while living in Manchester, England, and why donning the green and gold instead of the union jack has added meaning for him as a gay man.
