How many Olympians also work full time as nurses during a pandemic? Meet Nina Roth

How many Olympians hold down full-time jobs even as they train for their sport?

And how of those jobs are in nursing, in a two-year pandemic?

So if you see Nina Roth chasing a nearly 2-year-old around a park in Madison, stopping only once in a while to do a set of pull-ups on the monkey bars herself, don’t worry – she’s not lost her marbles.

She’s just … multi-tasking-training.

Roth is headed to Beijing in a matter of weeks as part of Team Peterson. This will be her second Olympics, and everything is different this year.
