Today we look at the bidding process--namely, the fact that Olympic bid cities have been dropping like flies. Will the IOC's Agenda 2020 solve the problem? Jill and Alison try to stump each other with more trivia, and in news from PyeongChang, we see what the 2018 medals will look like and ponder a potential boycott of the Games. All this and attempts at accents in this episode!
Welcome to our first episode, where Jill and Alison explain the condition that is Olympic Fever. Looking at Tokyo 2020's mascot contest, they explore how Olympic mascots came to be and why they're so important to an Olympic city. After a little Olympic Trivia, they discuss the new events that will be happening at PyeongChang 2018.
