philip hindes's video: Ed Clancy 3x Olympic Champion His last Olympic Games PC 8 Podcrash Olympics cycling

“You’re an Olympic gold medalist, going for another gold medal and you can’t put your socks on in the morning.” Ed Clancy. During this entertaining instalment of PodCrash, elite cyclists and Olympic medallists Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes are joined by 3X Olympic champion, World Champion and 8X World Record-breaker, Ed Clancy OBE. In this week’s cycling (and life) news; the trio talk about hitting the gym (or not), Skinner’s interview on the Ben Coomber fitness podcast and... dick pics. Plus, there’s a little teaser of what you can expect in Episode 9 of PodCrash. The trio then dive into Clancy’s early career, role models and the white hand-me-down BMX that ignited his passion for cycling. This ultra-successful cyclist opens up about his challenging childhood and how he stays grounded after the euphoric high of the games - and the subsequent lows. “The thing I find that most stabilises me is that i’m just a person like everyone else. I genuinely feel that no matter who you are, where you’re from or what you do, every human has equal value.” - Clancy. In 2015, Clancy experienced a huge setback when, just 10 months away from the Olympic Games, a prolapsed disk left him shuffling down the stairs, barely able to walk or sit. When it got worse, there was no other option but surgery. But, in true Clancy style, his comeback was a defining moment in his career and 4 months later, he was back racing competitively. We talk about diet, Clancy’s favourite sugar-fix and the marginal gains he’ll be making in the lead up to the next Olympics. What are his predictions for Tokyo 2020 and will he hang up his helmet once it’s over? Find out in this jam-packed episode of PodCrash. Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.
