At 9 years old, Connor Fields landed his first sponsorship. As a kid, he wrote on his parents’ wall with a Sharpie that he was going to win the Olympics. Years later, he made that dream a reality.

In this episode of Twist of Fate Podcast, Olympic gold medalist Connor Fields sits down with host Douglas Younger III to talk about where his love for BMX began, how a childhood passion turned into a profession, and what it truly felt like to stand on the Olympic podium.

Connor opens up about the heartbreak of losing in London, the high of winning gold in Rio, and the devastating crash in Tokyo that forced him to walk away from the sport that defined his life.
