Juliette Whittaker and Isabella Whittaker On Making The Olympic Team Together As Sisters

“I'm still processing everything. It still very much feels like a dream. I keep telling everyone that every morning I’ve woken up since the race, I keep having to check my phone, check the date, and make sure I’ve already raced and that it’s not coming up. I was like, ‘Wait, that actually happened, right?’ I feel like for me it’s been a lot of processing, a lot of pinch me moments, but a lot of joy.”
Sister duo Juliette and Isabella Whittaker join us live in Eugene after their breakout performances at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials. Juliette qualified for her first Olympic team by placing third in the 800m and Isabella took 6th in the 400m final. The sisters share about how they were able to split their focus between the NCAA season and Olympic Trials, how they manage nerves before their races (and each other's races!) and lots more. Hear more from Juliette and Isabella in this episode of the CITIUS MAG Podcast.

Amazing that 2 sisters make it to Paris.

Great idea to interview them... but poor interview skills. The guy didn't bother to mention (or get them to mention) what events they compete in...or what universities they compete for...or who was the oldest.... what year they were, etc. I know this information as an avid fan but the general audience doesn't.
Cities didn't even bother to include their events in the grafic.
