Summary
Madeline and Charlotte are back after a wildly exciting day of Olympics — Alysa Liu won gold in figure skating with an absolutely stunning performance, and the US Women’s Hockey Team took home gold in a stunner against longtime rival Canada. The gals talk about how Alysa’s vibes were immaculate and how US captain Hilary Knight got engaged to speedskater Brittany Bowe and won gold in the same week!
Also: Tom Brady was at the gold medal game, Amber Glenn skated a redemption performance, and US skier Mac Forehand seems to be dating Canadian skier Maia Schwinghammer. Lindsey Vonn posted a video showing how she got home from Italy with a complex tibial fracture, and ski GOAT Mikaela Shifrin won the women’s slalom by 1.5 seconds, the largest margin in any skiing event in decades. She talked about her dad and it was very moving!
And, finally, an exclusive interview about taxidermy with Hannah Stolz, sister of speedskater Jordan. Oh, and the gals show you their crochet projects.
