Ep 25: 30 For 30 - LANCE - Documentary Part 1 Recap


Listen Later

Since we had a lot of fun with The Last Dance documentary recap shows, we decided to keep it rolling with ESPN's latest Sunday night release: 30 For 30: LANCE.

This show will recap what we saw during the first part of the documentary on the most well-known cyclist in American history. Lance Armstrong brought a nation together with his triumphant comeback story and rise to greatness but it turned out to be too good to be true. 

On this first part, we look at: 

  • That aggressive opening scene
  • His childhood
  • The route you take to become a pro cyclist
  • Rise to stardom at an early age
  • Partying in Austin
  • Living on Lake Cuomo
  • Doping for the first time
  • Cancer
  • The doping scandal in 1998
  • Formation of WADA
  • Adrian Karsten on the old ABC coverage
  • Comeback begins

This was a strong first episode and opened our eyes to a lot about Lance Armstrong, the Tour de France, and the sport of cycling.
