There is no such thing as a former athlete, Karin says. She is a sprinter, a podcaster, and a TV host. Until recently, she has been competing in the world arenas at 60m, 100m, and 200m. She has been running fast and training hard since elementary school, winning at ease. Karin still holds the state records for under 14 y.o. and 16 y.o. at 200m indoors.
In running, Karin Okolie found her passion. In 2020, she was in top shape, ready to grab the spot for the Tokyo Olympics and make her dream come true. Then, COVID hit the world. The Games were deferred. The limitations to train (and live) during the pandemic took their toll. The big Olympic dream slipped away.
But that was not the end of Karin’s career, just a new beginning! Karin started Kari’s Calling podcast, having recorded 76 episodes already. She was invited to read the sports news at bTV, which she did for a year. Karin is now hosting a sports TV show at Euronews Bulgaria. She still runs every morning.
