To celebrate the inaugural Green Sports Month, GreenSportsPod is airing four weekly interviews this October, led by EcoAthletes CEO and GSP founder Lew Blaustein. We kick off the series by talking with Rhydian Cowley, an Olympic bronze medal-winning race walker (Paris ‘24) from Australia, one of EcoAthletes’ earliest Champions, and an athlete who talks the climate action talk while walking — literally! — the climate action walk!
