Beijing 2022: Olympics - Day 11 - a podcast by Jill Jaracz & Alison Brown

It’s Day 11 of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics! It’s Valentine’s Day, and although love is in the air, not everyone loves the decision on the Kamila Valieva doping situation, which was announced today. There’s still no team medal though, so this story isn’t over.

We did have more drama on the ice with the Ice Dancing Free Dance competition. Plus, what are the medal ceremonies like in person? Jill went to some and reports back!

Today’s sports schedule includes:

• Bobsleigh – Women’s Monobob, heats 3-4; Men’s Two-Man, heats 1-2
• Curling – Men’s and Women’s Round Robin
• Figure Skating – Ice Dance Free Dance
• Freestyle Skiing – Women’s Freeski Slopestyle Qualifications, Women’s Aerials
• Ice Hockey – Women’s Semifinals
• Ski Jumping – Men’s Team

This show does cost money to produce, and while our listeners have been extremely generous in supporting us through the Kickstarter campaign that got us to Beijing and also through Patreon patronage, we’re coming up on 2 ½ years until another Olympics, so to celebrate the Lunar New Year, we’re asking for donations of at least $8 -- in China the number 8 is a lucky number symbolizing good fortune --  to help us get through to Paris 2024. Go to flamealivepod.com/support to donate.

Thank you so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
