4:46Now PlayingIn this full interview, U.S. biathlete Deedra Irwin reflects on the journey from her first Olympics in Beijing to preparing for Italy — and how this Games already feels entirely different. She talks about racing at Antholz, navigating the World Cup during Covid, the excitement of finally having fans back, and what it means to train in a place that feels like “home turf.”
Deedra also shares how the World Class Athlete Program shaped her career, what it’s meant to serve in the military while competing, and how she’s building a second professional life beyond sport. And in a fun moment, she scrolls through her phone backgrounds — revealing photos with her fiancé, their engagement in Switzerland, and how they met at the Beijing Opening Ceremony.
A grounded, personal, and inspiring look at an athlete balancing two worlds while pushing toward the Olympics.
