Olympic Fever show

Summary: Jill and contributor Ben Jackson report in from the Montreal 1976 Olympic Village with what it's like to live in an Olympic Village--especially one with quirky buildings. Our guest this week is Canadian Olympian Olya Ovtchinnikova who competed at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in sabre fencing. In the first part of her interview with Jill, Olya talks about how the sport of sabre works (and why you need to practice watching before Tokyo 2020).
