Katie Shanahan just had the summer of her life—but the journey there was anything but easy.
After battling glandular fever, a severe back injury, and fracturing her hand just weeks after trials, Katie bounced back to win Commonwealth Silver in her home city of Glasgow and European Gold with a massive 2:06.13 200m Backstroke British Record!
In this episode of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, Dan and Scott sit down with Katie to dissect her incredible summer. We discuss the cultural shift at Stirling that is elevating GB women's swimming, why she's officially dropping the 400 IM, and her technical goals heading towards LA 2028.
