Go, Gwen, Go: A Family's Journey to Olympic Gold

Gwen Jorgensen won gold in the 2016 Rio Olympics, along with many other wins, and she is currently training hard for another medal in the 2020 Olympics, this time in the Marathon.

We all know, it takes a village to raise an Olympian and today we talk with two of Gwen's family members, Nancy and Elizabeth Jorgensen. They authored Go, Gwen, Go, a book about the Jorgensen family's commitment to Gwen's success and ambition to be a world champion and win gold.
