Elizabeth Swaney - The slippery slope to the Olympic Games

The Wheel of Sport

01-05-2022 • 37 mins

Very few athletes ever get the opportunity to represent their country at the Olympics. Through training, discipline and shear sporting talent, some manage to make the grade. Once there, they will do everything in their power to try to get a place on the podium and, failing that, try to represent themselves in the best light possible. This is the story of an 'athlete' who broke the mould by sauntering into the Olympics with little sporting prowess but excellent management of her calendar and air miles. Elizabeth Swaney became an unlikely focus of the 2018 Winter Olympics for all the wrong reasons.
