Description
The Olympics are over, but the U.S. women showed out. They won 8 of Team USA’s 12 gold medals, including a historic third Olympic gold for Mikaela Shiffrin and a joyful, full-circle figure skating triumph from Alysa Liu.
In hockey, Hilary Knight and Team USA defeated Canada in overtime to secure their third Olympic gold in women’s hockey, in a record-setting 5.3-million-viewer thriller that cemented their dominance. We also spend time unpacking the viral locker room video of the U.S. men’s hockey team laughing during a presidential phone call that included a joke at the women’s team’s expense.
In NCAA Basketball, the Iowa Hawkeyes handled the Michigan Wolverines for their 50th consecutive sellout, building serious momentum ahead of the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament.
If you’re here for women’s sports news, Olympic highlights, women’s college basketball, and unfiltered analysis that doesn’t look away when things get uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
