“Your latest episode is the best analysis I’ve heard regarding the Olympic doping scandal. I think something that has been missing in the coverage this past week is how much or little autonomy a teenage Russian figure skater likely has. Your description of the differences in training/coaching systems in the US vs. Russia was very informative and touched on this. I also found helpful your outline of a child’s development while training difficult jumps and how the medicines involved might affect such training. Eesldmour background as a teenage Olympian and someone whose mom grew up skating under a different system, you bring so much insight to this situation. I look forward to listening to your other episodes.”
