Film Buff Fran on "Race"

Grab your popcorn and pull up your chair! Film Buff Fran is back for another edition of Keep the Flame Alive's Movie Club. This time we're watching the 2016 Jesse Owens biopic "Race." Will it inspire us to become sprinters?

 

In our Albertville 1992 history moment, Jill starts looking at the bobsled competition. This competition has it all: Scandal! Spying! A color pukesplosion! This week: Scandal -- or, Team USA's really tough Olympic quad. Would the Dream Team have made it better?

 

In our visit to TKFLASTAN, we have updates from:

• Nordic combined athlete Annika Malacinski
• Beach volleyball player Kelly Cheng
• Curler John Shuster
• Speed skater Erin Jackson
• The dulcet tones of Jason Bryant - to donate to his efforts to help Beat the Streets raise money to help kids get wrestling gear, visit here.

 

Paris 2024 has announced the marathon course -- this one looks like it's going to be an epic Olympic marathon!

 

Plus, LA 2028's dynamic logo is sponsor-ready. Should it be?
