Olga Kotelko video is on BBC: ‘I am what I am,’ W90 superstar says

What’s the most popular video subject on the BBC America website today? Japan? Libya? One-minute world news? Wrong on all counts. It’s Olga Kotelko, our W90 world-record superstar from British Columbia. She tells her story to freelancer Brandy Yanchyk. Olga is shown doing water training, weights and other stuff. Some of my photos from Lahti worlds are used as well. The news doesn’t have to be all disaster and war. We have Olga. Thanks, Brandy and BBC World News America!

Olga tells her track interest in this BBC World News America video.

Here’s proof that Olga topped world news for a time:

    Weia,

    Here’s another link to the BBC story. Copy and paste it into your browser.

    Hope Olga is in Sacramento. Don’t see her registered yet.

    Olga is so inspiring! Just look at her training! I think I speak for many women following her when I say I want to grow up to be just like her.

    Olga is amazing-one of the main reasons I go to the meets is to be around folks like her still pushing it and having FUN at an age where I’m hoping to be doing the same 🙂 A vacationing runner ran with our club the other day and when he discovered we did the masters events he wondered if we had heard of Olga! Nice to see that 🙂
