This Olympian and poet on “freedom within boundaries”
Clip: 8/11/2016 | 4m 13s
This Olympian -- and poet -- on her love for “freedom within boundaries”.
On Friday, long-distance runner Alexi Pappas will compete in Rio in her first-ever Olympic race. But unlike many of her Olympic peers, Pappas does not put all her talent in one basket. In addition to training as a world-class runner, she is also a filmmaker, actress and poet, and she writes about what she knows: track. “As a storyteller, I want to tell stories that I can uniquely tell,” she says.
