Team USA ice dancer Madison Chock and speed skater Erin Jackson join Sarah from the road in Italy. Chock talks about the change in training that got her and her husband Evan Bates to their 4th Olympics, how she navigates the Olympic letdown, and who gets even more nervous for her performances than she does. Then, Jackson discusses the pressure of being a defending champion, how unforgiving her sport can be, becoming friends with pain, and whether or not she’s got socks on under those skates. Plus, the PWHL gets the Olympic bump, a Paralympic boycott, and we’re literally going to the cottage – and you can, too.
