Then after discussing these tough but important stories, the gals close things out with the latest installment in our Olympic athletes interview series — a conversation with USWNT fan favorite Kristie Mewis. Our associate managing editor Lauren Tuiskula sat down with Mewis to discuss everything from new USWNT head coach Emma Hayes to what Kristie’s streaming on Netflix. Thanks for tuning in!
