Dakotah Lindwurm: A Childhood Olympic Dream Comes True
Manage episode 437819496 series 2929825
Dakotah Lindwurm is a professional distance runner for the Minnesota Distance Elite Team, sponsored by Puma. Her specialty is the marathon.
Just a few short weeks ago, Lindwurm became an Olympian.
This is Dakotah Lindwurm's Olympic dream story. It begins with the moment that sparked this dream, way back in childhood. Lindwurm shares how, despite not showing obvious potential in her early running, she continued to dream big: through her walk-on DII collegiate running days; turning pro; the US Olympic Trials in Orlando, Florida, back on February 2, 2024, where she was considered a strong underdog; to making Team USA; and up through racing on the greatest stage of sports: The Olympics.
Lundwurm's story is all about big dreams that weathered big challenges, bolstered by the power of support and self-belief.
Lindwurm ran an incredible race at the Paris Olympics, where she placed 12th. She was the top American finisher, running 2:26:44.
And, she's already looking ahead: Lindwurm will be lining up at the 2024 NYC Marathon on November 3.
One fact is now clear, Lindwurm is no longer underdog: she is and will forever be an Olympian.
