Going Pro: The Data Behind Nathan Cusack's Journey From Juniors to EF Education-Aevolo

OVERVIEW Cyclists rely on their sense of hearing more than you might imagine, to hear traffic coming, to communicate with fellow riders during group rides and races, to listen for gear shifts and labored breathing from competitors, and even to discern wind direction. Dmitry Rossoshansky doesn&apos;t hear any of that, nor does he hear your pleas for mercy when he&apos;s crushing it at the front! In Episode #280 of &quot;The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast&quot;, Dima and CTS Coach Adam Pulford, with the assistance of sign language interpreters Maureen Plonk and Courtney Szymanski, discuss navigating group rides and races as a deaf athlete and a teammate to hearing athletes, along with how he is training for the 2025 Deaflympics in Japan as a Time-Crunched Cyclist with a full-time job, a spouse, and a young daughter.Note: The female voice you hear is Courtney interpreting as Dmitry communicates via sign language. Topics Covered In This Episode:<ul><li>About the Deaflympics</li><li>Navigating races and group rides without sound</li><li>Training tools for hearing impaired athletes</li></ul>Resources<ul><li><a href='https://givebutter.com/R2NziK'>Donations to Deaflympic Cycling Team</a>:</li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/usdeafcycling'>Deaf Cycling Team IG</a>:</li><li><a href='https://www.deaflympics.com/'>Deaflympics</a>:<ul><li><a href='https://www.deaflympics.com/games/tokyo-2025'>Cycling Schedule</a></li></ul></li><li><a href='https://www.instagram.com/dimaross/'>Dima&apos;s Instagram</a></li><li><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-time-crunched-cyclist-podcast-by-cts/id1494799053?i=1000545072058'>Paralympic Podcast with Jim Lehman</a></li></ul>Guest Bio:Dmitry Rossoshansky&apos;s journey as a cyclist began in 2018, inspired by a close friend and fueled by his passion for endurance sports.
