Summary

Your 2024 Paris Olympic champions are the U.S. women's national team. On the final Olympic reaction podcast, Tamerra Griffin and Steph Yang dissect how Emma Hayes' players ground out a nervy and choppy 1-0 win in the final over Brazil. Was this USA team redeeming the 2023 World Cup failure or is that an unfair lens to view the triumph through? Just how huge was goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher at the tournament? Are the USWNT ahead of schedule in terms of their development under Hayes? From the Parc des Princes stadium in France, Meg Linehan called in to give an update on the USA players' emotions at the final whistle and set the scene from the podium, including tears of joy in the press conference from captain Lindsey Horan. Finally, Tamerra and Steph close out their 2024 Paris Olympic podcast coverage by handing out their own awards for the best tournament moments and then reflect on how these Games will be remembered. _______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Steph Yang GUESTS: Meg Linehan PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen ________________ Get in touch: [email protected] Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Learn more about your ad choices.
