Oisin O’Callaghan – From Junior World Champ to Elite Glory

Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast

Today, we’re joined by the one and only Oisin O’Callaghan. Oisin was thrust into the limelight when he joined the YT Mob and took the big win at the first time of asking, becoming your 2020 junior world champion in Leogang. From then on, Oisin’s been on a bumpy road of ups and downs which would definitely be enough to rattle most people’s confidence. However, Oisin has stuck to the process and shown what he’s capable of by taking his first elite World Cup win in Snowshoe last season. Oisin is loving life and represents a bright future for our sport. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Oisin O’Callaghan.
