It’s a bad news, good news kind of week. First, the bad news: Russia’s out of the Olympics for the next four years (pending appeal) due to the continued issues with doping. We’ve got opinions–and lots of sighs.
But the good news is great: We catch up with “The Next Olympic Hopeful” winner and Team Olympic Fever rugby player Lindsey Mayo to see what she’s been up to in the year since her win. Let’s just say we’re surprised where in the world we found her.
And Tokyo’s got a new hotel opening up just in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics! Maybe Jill won’t have to sleep on Dan’s couch!
Our next book club selection is The Suspect: An Olympic Bombing, the FBI, the Media, and Richard Jewell, the Man Caught in the Middle by Kent Alexander and Kevin Salwen.
