Summary
In this episode of The Homestretch w/Adrian Durant our guest is 2011 World Champion and 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the 400m hurdles, none other than Lashinda Demus. She is truly a track star and one of the best female hurdlers in American track and field history. Not only on the field but she is also a hero in real life. She had twin boys in 2007 and missed out on the 2008 Olympics, but she came back stronger, with the third-fastest time ever to become the 2011 World Champion Gold medalist. She didn't stop there; she went on and became the silver medalist in 2012 London Olympics and Bronze Medalist in 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russia.
In this interview with Lashinda Demus, she shares her life story and struggles to become an Olympic Silver Medalist. Where most people think that female athlete's career can't rise after having a family, she actually proved the opposite. Lashinda Demus also share her thoughts about being a mom and an elite athlete. We also ask Lashinda some questions about how twins rocked her running world and how she jumped the postpartum depression hurdle in her life.
