We're going back to 1994 this week with our latest Movie Club pick: A Promise Kept: The Oksana Baiul Story. This SOBIG made-for-TV biopic had the blessing of Lillehammer 1994 gold medalist of Oksana Baiul and tells the story of her life through her surprise victory amidst the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding scandal (though if you didn't know that scandal happened, you wouldn't learn anything about it from this movie).
Plus, video journalist Sean Colahan stops by post-Paris vacation to tell us about the atmosphere in the city--and what tourist attractions you can skip.
News from TKFLASTAN, includes updates from:
And we have a little bit of news about the Kamila Valieva doping case--with word on when the final hearing will take place. We also have updates from Paris 2024 now that it's official one year to go until the Paralympics.

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