It's Women's History Month, so it's only appropriate that our first book club selection of 2023 celebrates female athletes. Book Club Claire is back to discuss Inaugural Ballers: The True Story of the First US Women’s Olympic Basketball Team by Andrew Maraniss.
We're having a free virtual Q&A with Andrew on Monday, March 27 at 9pm US Eastern Time. If you'd like to join us, please email flamealivepod@gmail.com to RSVP.
In our history moment, Jill looks at a women's first at Seoul 1988: Track Cycling. This story also contains an Olympic first--and only--statistic.
We've got news from our TKFLASTAN. Hear what's up with:
In Paris 2024 news, we're talking about ticket lotteries, Notre Dame reconstruction, and the 500 Days Out celebration (if you're in Ireland, here's where you can register for it)
In Milan-Cortina 2026 news, Alison's got an announcement, and we potentially have a winner in the mascot selection!
The International Olympic Committee has announced its esport series - learn more about the games and qualifiers here.
The International Paralympic Committee has released a new strategic plan to take the organization through 2026. We break down some of the exciting goals they have.
