Crazy in Lob: Farewell to Women’s Gymnastics, Exes Competing Together, and Team USA Track & Field Wins

Listen Later

We’re over halfway through the Paris Olympics and back with our fourth episode of Well Played: Olympics Edition. After learning about the pair of Czech exes that slayed the tennis doubles competition, listeners learn that Amanda has a Hallmark rom-com in the works about the famed Olympic couple.

In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: 

  • The bulge that prevented a French pole vaulter from winning (yes, that bulge)
  • More poo problems in the Seine and its effects on athletes
  • Why, in her expert track & field opinion, Amanda believes both Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson won the 100m race
  • Sha’carri Richardson’s first Olympic medal, plus the famed Jamaican athletes who bowed out of the 200m this week 
  • How Simone Biles torched reporters after copping her final medal of these games 
  • The bullying of Algerian women’s boxer, Imane Khelif
