The Pal's talk to Phylicia George about being a two-sport Olympian and doing random stuff.
From challenging her father to parking lot races as a young girl, Olympian Phylicia George has grown into one of Canada’s most diverse athletes.
Exploding onto the Olympic track scene at the 2012 London Summer Olympics, followed with a 2nd Olympic experience in Rio 2016, competing in both the 100M Hurdles and the 4x100 Relay, she has cemented her status as one of Canada’s top athletes always willing to take risks, Phylicia became one of this countries few multisport athletes ever, when she made the Canadian Bobsleigh Team at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and won a bronze medal. She is one of only a select few who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Not willing to be defined solely by her athletic accomplishments she aspires to reach higher, holding a Biology degree from the University of Connecticut graduating summa cum laude, along with pursuing opportunities in motivational speaking and philanthropy.
She spends time writing and speaking about her journey to become the best athlete possible and the lessons she has learned along the way. She provides a coveted look into the behind the scenes preparation that it takes to become an elite athlete. She is a strong advocate for holistic wellness as well as the empowerment of young girls and women. She works to inspire those around her to dream big and to follow their passion towards living the life they truly want. Her journey continues as she prepares for Tokyo 2021!
