The great debate: Do female athletes need Victoria's Secret and MrBeast — or do they need female athletes?

But first, what happened in women’s sports this week:

• A wild triathlon world championship in Wollongong — even if Sara didn't totally understand at first why it was so wild.
• Watch the winning Red Bull Rampage run from Robin Goomes: https://www.tiktok.com/@redbullusa/video/7562279735808773398
• Life Time Grand Prix is locked up and Track Cycling Worlds is starting
• Plus, the new world record at the 24-Hour World Champs and the confusion leading into the race

Then we talk about the ongoing question female celebrities, and especially female athletes face: How much spectacle do they want to embrace? What spectacle is good spectacle? (We are pro spectacle here! But anti bad spectacle!)

World champ Melissa Jefferson-Wooden races 100 random men — and, yes, beats them — for $100K. WNBA star Angel Reese becomes the first athlete to walk the (revamped) Victoria's Secret fashion show. And Athlos shows us how hard it is for an average person to do what the Olympians do.

One of these things felt different than the others...
