Hello!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz are back to discuss the biggest storylines from the ongoing Paris Olympics. The gals start with a preview of the stacked women’s soccer semis before the No. 5 USWNT takes on No. 4 Germany and No. 9 Brazil meets No. 1 Spain on Tuesday.

Then in part two, El and Steph break down the controversy surrounding two women boxers who are through to semifinals in their respective events today and tomorrow. There’s been some wild misinformation and gender misconceptions surrounding these athletes, but today’s pod sorts through all the noise.

A big thank you to our friends at Aflac for powering today’s episode! Just like The GIST tackles the gap in women’s sports coverage, Aflac closes the gap that health insurance leaves behind. Learn more at aflac.com/thegist.
