Interview with Olympic Gold Medalist

[DenisCollier]

Good day everybody!
I teach a sport science course at the University of Toronto. Gymnastics is not my expertise... though I have a great appreciation for the sport. Last semester I started a YouTube channel where I interview high level athletes and my students have an assignment about the content. This week I am interviewing Canada's only Olympic gold medalist - Kyle Shewfelt.
I'd appreciate if anyone in the chat could give me ideas about the types of questions to ask...
The broad focus of the interview is development of high level gymnasts.
But there could be human-interest types of questions too.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Just a suggestion for future interviews -- Ellie Black. She may not have an Olympic gold medal but she is a 4 X Olympian (an achievment in and of itself to be sure) with a looong medal list fro other international competitions including Worlds.
