Well Played: Olympics Opening Weekend, Last Supper Slip Up, Canada Caught Cheating, and Gymnastics Takes the Floor (Routine) Ft. Molly Carlson

Listen Later

We’re back with our second episode of Well Played: Olympics Edition. Amanda and Blake dive into their thoughts on the opening ceremony. As it turns out, they worried too much about unsightly denim outfits and not enough about the potential for inclement weather that fell upon athletes stuck on boats. 

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

  • The cheating scandal shaking up the Canadian women’s soccer team 
  • The iconic viral swimmer who took over our feeds this weekend (no, not Katie Ledecky)
  • Whether Simone Biles will be hampered her injury, and the bittersweet moment watching Suni Lee qualify for the team all-around finals
  • The lore behind the “Boundary King” who scored the men’s US gymnastics team its first medal since 2008
  • Team USA literally towering over Team Japan in women’s basketball, plus what Diana Taurasi said to reporters about playing basketball at her age 
  • A convo with Canadian high diver Molly Carlson on her experience plunging in the Seine
