2x Olympic Medalist Carson Foster returns to chat about making his first Olympic team, his performance in Paris, and how he’s adjusting to Bob Bowman workouts. Last time we spoke to Carson a couple years ago (Ep. 112), he was coming off a breakout meet winning individual silvers in the IMs at the 2022 World Championships and the stage was being set for his redemption after narrowly missing the Tokyo Olympic team.
Fast forward to 2024, the IM races at US Trials were Carson’s to lose, and he delivered by winning the IMs and adding a new credential to his name - Olympian.
While Carson’s performances in Paris were good by any objective measure (an individual bronze and a relay silver), he wants more and knows he has potential for more. The good news is, Carson is getting a new coach at the perfect moment. Following the retirement of legendary coach Eddie Reese, Bob Bowman has taken over the training program for Carson Foster and will bring with him the 4x Olympic gold medalist Leon Marchand and 200 backstroke Olympic champ Hubert Kos, giving Carson the excitement of a new, proven training program and an opportunity to chase people at practice instead of being chased all the time.
They love to hunt in Texas, and that’s exactly what Carson is ready to do.
