If we're popping random Oly stories in here, this woman's sheer athleticism is just next level

I just watched it all in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm barely a four-year fan, but like all good Canadians was completely and utterly on the Scott/Moir train and remember some of the names from then. I was hoping they were going to film during Milano Cortina ala the Simone doc, but...
I'm in Canada and went in as a design major, then transferred both schools and programs. In the new school I pretty quickly decided on cultural anthropology (both as interesting and useful/less as it sounds haha) but the way that department worked, after SA 100 or 101 you could basically take...
Other than the websites listed below, All Things Gymnastics podcast do a ton of mostly interview-based ncaa content, including interviews with head coaches leading up to the start of season, where they often talk about their athletes and team goals, and then a recruit round up series in the off...
I'm not SUPER into any of the winter sports specifically, but I'll watch whatever is on (and particularly like short track, aerials, and the ones where they snowboard down 4 at a time). My uncle is going to a few things (opening ceremonies, some women's hockey, and ski cross I think) so I'll...

Also equestrian vaulting, where men are also in costume/performing to music the same as women (and there are mixed pairs and teams). It's been an Olympic demo sport but currently is only at the Worlds/World Equestrian Games level. They manage to pack 10 elements and a decent amount of...
I wish Victoria would bid again. We still use the facilities from 1994 and have some new ones subsequently built since then. There was a bit of a movement to bid awhile ago but I don’t think the government at the time was on board. I remember Stella Umeh coming to train at my gym before the...
