Summary

Olympic joy, heartbreak, and chaos all in one episode. Billie Jean King joins Julie and Abby fresh off Milan to break down Team USA’s record gold medal haul, Norway’s dominance, and why American women delivered two-thirds of the medals.

Plus: post-Olympic blues, big-moment letdowns, and Julie’s fourth attempt to finally beat Abby in Minute to Win It. Will she ever win?
