Good Game with Sarah Spain

Benvenuti in Italia! Sarah and producer Alex join the show from Milan to share behind the scenes of their visit to the athlete’s Olympic Village (highlights: a bin of condoms and the torch relay!) and their first in-person competition, US women’s hockey versus Czechia (lowlights: J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio). Plus, norovirus hits the Finnish hockey team, Lindsey Vonn hits the weights and it only took one day to find our Olympic mantra!

U.S. nordic combined athlete Annika Malacinski joins Sarah to discuss her fight to make sure women have a future in the sport. Nordic combined is the only Olympic sport – winter or summer – in which women are still not allowed to compete at the Games. Malacinski shares what her battle has looked like, whether she’s seen support from male nordic combined athletes, and what it’s been like watching her brother, Niklas, prepare for his Olympic debut in the same sport in which she’s been denied a chance to qualify. Plus, a coupl'a Good Eggs and finally an athlete we can relate to.

Olympic distance runners and co-hosts of the “Nobody Asked Us” podcast Kara Goucher and Des Linden join Sarah to give perspective on the Olympic experience from a safe distance, unburdened by the nerves of an upcoming competition.
