Summary

Olympic figure skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski joins me on the podcast this week. Tara is the youngest figure skater to ever win an Olympic gold medal - in 1998, she did it at fifteen years old. We get inside what it was like to grow up in the spotlight as a young superstar, how she actually got into the sport, and when she realized the Olympics were actually a possibility for her. Then hear the story about her infamous 1998 Olympic run...going head-to-head against Michelle Kwan, the mind games she’d play with her competitors, and what her career has been like after she stopped competing. I even ask her to play Marry, F***, Kill with Michelle Kwan, Nancy Kerrigan, and Tonya Harding...get inside the still adorable and inspiring Tara Lipinski. Learn more about your ad choices.
