Off The Podium

It’s not often you can say a reality TV show helped launch an Olympic career, but for Josh Williamson, that’s exactly what happened. The American, a promising lacrosse player growing up, won Scouting Camp: The Next Olympic Hopeful in 2017, a breakthrough moment that set him on an extraordinary path into bobsleigh. Now a two-time Olympian, Williamson has just returned from the Milano Cortina Games with a career-best fourth-place finish in the two-man event. We chat with Josh about his unique journey into the sport, the impact of that unlikely opportunity, and where his ambitions lie as he builds towards another Olympic campaign in four years’ time! It’s an engaging and remarkable conversation you won’t want to miss!
