Shape I'm In: I want my kids to be in awe of the world

"I don't like when people are judgemental. We don't know what people are going through. I believe people do the best with what they have and if that isn't perfect we need to understand that."

Róisín McGettigan-Dumas is teaming up with the Olympic Federation of Ireland for their Road to Tokyo schools series.

Even though she has retired from competitive racing, you can still find former Olympian Róisín McGettigan-Dumas running around her home in Rhode Island every day. “It's just drilled into me at this point. I'm like a dog at the door dying to get out. It's just a part of my nature,” the Wicklow native says.

Mcgettigan-Dumas first moved to the US as a student, where she competed under Waterford coach Ray Treacy and went on to run in the 2008 Olympic games. She won a bronze medal at the European Indoor Championships and holds the Irish record in the steeplechase. She ended up settling in the US, but the mum of three still calls Ireland home.
