Episode 439 - Nathan Katz Interview

Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

We're excited to return to the sport of judo today on Off The Podium and for the very first time interview the brother of a former guest as we speak with two-time Australian Olympian Nathan Katz about his judoka journey as well as his Olympic experiences! We learn from Nathan's perspective about what it was like growing up in such a judo obsessed household and why he always wanted to pursue the sport he loved so much. We also find out more about his two very unique Olympic experiences, including just how he went from sitting in a car with some Chinese food and a bottle of wine two weeks before an Olympics not having qualified to finding out that he was going to be on a plane to the Games. Added to this we hear about what role Kate Bush played in his career, just why his brother should have a movie made about him and learn why doing judo on a water bed isn't the smartest idea. It's another epic chat that you can't miss, so get to listening!
