This week we're strapping on our figure skates and chatting with Rocker Skating's Jackie Wong to suss out who will be on the podium for all events in the figure skating competition at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

In our Atlanta 1996 history moment, Alison uncovers the origins of a broadcasting style we've come to loathe.

Our winter TKFLASTANI athletes are in high gear, and we've got results from biathlete Clare Egan, bobsledder Josh Williamson, speedskater Erin Jackson and moguls skier Bradley Wilson. Plus there's news from hurdler Dawn Harper Nelson, race walker Evan Dunfee, pairs skater Meagan Duhamel, Charlie White (who's on this podcast) and the dulcet tones of Jason Bryant.

In our other Games news updates, a diplomatic boycott of Beijing 2022 is official, Tokyo 2020 has happier news about its budget, TBach sighs about the "problem childs" of the IOC (boxing and weightlifting), and LA 2028 announces its sports program, including what could happen to modern pentathlon.
