Sarah and producer Alex check in with the greatest skier of all time and newly minted gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin to talk about ending her Olympic medal drought with a massive, ass-kicking win in Wednesday's slalom. Mikaela discusses winning without her father, wishing Average Joes understood alpine skiing better, and how the margins of victory in her sport make stringing together victories so tough. Plus, an exciting en-gay-gement, top five gasps, U.S. v. Canada hockey, and what do you call the final minutes of the 11th hour?
