Regan Smith Returns, now with 8 Olympic Medals: Episode 192

In this episode, Regan Smith returns with her latest medal haul from the Paris Olympics, where she picked up her first Olympic golds, a few individual silvers, and came home with another World Record (Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay).

Reflecting on her 2nd Olympics, her first under coach Bob Bowman, Regan Smith reflects on how proud she is of her performances, while also speaking to the juxtaposition of being proud of silver medals while still wanting gold. The last time Regan Smith joined Social Kick (Ep. 107) was in 2022 from her Stanford dorm room. Since then, a lot has happened. She navigated a move away from college swimming to join the pro group at Arizona State and found a home in Tempe.

In doing so, she also returned to her peak form and has seemingly been on fire. Then earlier this year, Bob Bowman accepted the head job at Texas, complicating life for the swimmers who train under him.

So now, after months living out of a suitcase, Regan is in the process of completing her next move as she migrates to Austin for her new training home. Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe for weekly podcasts and daily shorts!
