Justin Chisholm’s guest on the latest episode of the Yacht Racing Life Podcast is American athlete John Croom.

Croom had an illustrious career as a track cyclist in the US National Team before switching sports to bring his physique and fitness to bear in the America’s Cup, where he raced as a ‘cyclor’ aboard the New York Yacht Club American Magic AC75 at the 38th Cup in Barcelona last year.

During what turned out to be a wide ranging and fast paced interview we find out how John’s tried football and wrestling before becoming hooked on cycling – as well as taking a deep dive into his time with American Magic to discover what life is really like for an America’s Cup cyclor.
