But that is not where her story started — or where it ends. In this episode, Christy shares the surprising person who told her to get into porn, how an early manager tried to change her look, how her relationship with War Machine escalated to the night of the attack, and why she never had any interest in staying silent about her abuse.

Athletes and advertising seems so synonymous these days that it can be hard to imagine a time when the two didn't go hand in hand. But everything has to start somewhere. And in this case it all started with a small German shoe company that grew into the global corporate megaliths Adidas and Puma. The inner-family grudge that divided the original company in two may have started with brothers Adi and Rudolf Dassler, but it came to its existential conclusion with their sons: Horst and Armin.

Be sure to watch Chris Silber's excellent series of films about the Dassler brothers: Rivals Forever.

And read Naomi Braithwaite's fascinating research into shoe design.
