What truly defines an Olympian? Join me, Dana Jones, as I challenge the conventional wisdom that medals are the ultimate measure of success on the Olympic stage. Through heartfelt discussions and personal anecdotes, we explore the immense pressures athletes face from audiences who often prioritize gold over effort. You'll hear about the controversies surrounding figures like Jordan Childs and be inspired by the relentless dedication of athletes such as Dara Torres and Martinus Evans.
