Olympic gold medalist turned gymnastics analyst Laurie Hernandez joins Sarah to talk about gaining confidence behind the mic, what it’s like watching the sport she once dominated, and who she’s most excited to see at this week’s U.S. Gymnastics Championships. (This interview properly salutes and then sticks the landing—if we do say so ourselves!) Plus, a hometown champ is crowned in France, a baby bump reveal that left us in awe, and a reminder that even in these dark times schools still have to comply with Title IX.
