We love a good telenovela-esque Olympic situation, and this week's episode is chock full of them. Bribery! Guilty verdicts! Stifling voices! Boring kits! Transgender guidelines! And someone makes Alison mad - who could it be this week?

Plus, our Atlanta 1996 history moment featuring the most famous shoes from these Olympics, and how Paris 2024 might have flying taxis as a transportation option.

In our news from TKFLASTAN, we have updates from

• Biathlete Clare Egan
• Ice dancer Charlie White
• Modern pentathlete Samantha Schultz
• BMX cyclist Connor Fields

Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
