So much has been happening in the world of the Olympics that this week we're catching up on all of the news. We start with the continued saga of boxing and the International Boxing Association (IBA) vs. the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
We then take a look at the IOC's eSports Week, which was held in Singapore on June 22-25. Will eSports be a bigger part of the IOC's plan to reach youth?
We also have an update in the Kamila Valieva situation, including a ballsy exhibit at the US Olympic and Paralympic Museum marking 500 days since the conclusion of the Team Figure Skating event from Beijing 2022.
In our Seoul History moment, Alison has a surprisingly happy story resulting from Madagascar's boycott of these Games. Here's a link to a scene from Reply 1988: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA5oCRQskko
