Summary

Lindsay Gibbs, Shireen Ahmed and Jessica Luther bring Burn It All Down back after a short break. Like it or not (it's both!) the Tokyo 2020 Olympics are coming and this week BIAD covers the the incredible, the heartbreaking and the huh?!. They discuss COVID updates in Japan, US track and field sensations and amazing athletes from around the world breaking barriers. Then, Lindsay shares a pre-view of her interview with Anne Orchier of NOlympics L.A and the team sets aflame a much needed Burn Pile. Next, there's the torchbearers leading the way, including Carl Nassib and Kumi Yokoyama. Carl is the first active NFL player to come out as gay and Kumi, an NWSL footballer, came out as transgender and uses they/them pronouns. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what sports they are watching this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg. Shelby Weldon is our social media and website specialist. Burn It All Down is part of the Blue Wire podcast network.
