Michelle Finn resets Olympics target with push for faster times

Michelle Finn: "I was putting absolutely everything I had into this year, putting everything into qualifying for the Olympics and then doing as well as I possibly could at the Olympics. I had made a lot of changes, left my job. I had basically saved enough to sustain me as far as the Olympics."

Michelle Finn had placed all her eggs in the 2020 basket.

She packed in the teaching, dipped into the savings stash, and boarded a New Year’s Eve flight to Melbourne to begin a three-month training stint in the company of World and Olympic track finalists.
