Hi, I'm Olympian, Carrie Tullifson, and welcome to the C-Tolley Run podcast. Today I interview

Amanda McGorrie. Amanda is a four-time paralympian, a seven-time

medalist in the Paralympics. She's also an Abbott World Marathon majors winner. This woman

knows how to race, and she is amazing. Amanda is no longer competing, though. She is still

heavily involved in the sport in different ways. She's a color analyst for the Chicago, New York, and Boston Marathons. She's also a commentator for different track events. And get this, she is the US OPC archivist. I mean, Amanda's everywhere, and I love it. And in this episode, we catch up with Amanda on what she's doing, where she's working, both in the booth and in Colorado Springs, her training, if she's still training, her story of how she ended up in a wheelchair, but how she has just turned that into such a positive thing in her life.

And we hear her thoughts on how wheelchair racing is progressing

in the world of sport. I love chatting with Amanda, and I hope you enjoy this episode as well.

So let's get after it.

All right, Amanda, super excited to have you on C-Tali Run. I feel like you've been on, but you

haven't, which is crazy to me. But you and I get to do all kinds of on-air work together. So it's just been great to become friends and coworkers. And thank you for taking time to come on the show. Yeah, thank you for having me. I think it's crazy. I haven't been on yet either, especially because I feel like we've known each other for so long. I've definitely been interviewed by you before, and we've worked together so much in the past, like, year and a half. It's weird. I don't know. That's on me. Definitely on me. But, you know, I was looking back at your career, and, I mean, four-time Paralympian. So that means you've been to four Paralympic games. That is a ton. And also,

it seems like you've been retired for a while, but really, you were at the last Paralympic games in

Tokyo. So that was 2020. It hasn't been that long. And because of the delay, it was actually

2021. That's right. And so I didn't officially retire until the beginning of

2022. So I'm only like two years out, which is also pretty wild to think about. Right,

which I can totally see right when you like, you like sat up and your shoulders are still,
