Tara Lipinski on the Boundary-Breaking RISE of a New Generation of USA Figure Skating

Figure skating legend Tara Lipinski joins us to talk about the upcoming Winter Olympics and the US women’s figure skating’s chances for ending their medal drought; and what she learned about herself after appearing on the reality show The Traitors. She also tells us how she prepares and packs for the games as NBC’s lead figure skating analyst, and who she’s most looking forward to watching perform. In keeping with the Winter Olympics theme, Megan and Sue take a look at the roster shakeup for the USA women’s ice hockey team, prompting them to consider what is the best vet-to-newcomer ratio on a national team.  Plus, Megan and Sue catch you up on the latest with the NWSL’s High Impact Player Rule (aka the Trinity Rodman rule) and why the players’ union is against it.  A Touch More: The Podcast is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.
