7/26/24 A Celebration of the Olympics

In honor of the Olympic Games in Paris, which officially open tonight, we are sharing excerpts from four archival interviews related to the Olympics. The first two interviews are with Olympic athletes. Part 1 is a conversation with diver Jordan Windle, who finished 9th in the 10-meter platform event at the 2020 Olympics. (His father Jerry is part of the interview as well.) Part 2 features the identical twin brothers Paul and Morgan Hamm, who were part of the U.S. men's gymnastics team that won silver at the 2004 Olympics - with Paul winning the all-around gold medal. The third interview is with filmmaker Margaret Grossi, talking about the American Experience film "The Boys of '36" which tells the amazing story of the American rowing team that won unexpected Gold in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The fourth and final interview is with Jeremy Fuchs, talking about his book "Total Olympics." (Several of these interviews will also be available in their entirety.)
