28 TFL TACKLES Tokyo 2020 & the Twisties

Hello & Happy Thursday! Can you believe we are in mid-August!? Sending especially good vibes to all our Aussie listeners who are currently in lockdown. On today's episode, we start with a deep dive on the GOAT or as some of you may know her, Simone Biles. We discuss mental health in Sport following her very brave withdrawal from 5/6 of her Artistic Gymnastic Finals at the Tokyo Olympics. Then, if you are anything like us you may also be feeling a little post-Tokyo despair BUT do not worry... we have your back. Join us for a conversation on our favourite medal moments, the stories that broke our hearts & the athletes who best encapsulated the Olympic Spirit. We also have a surprise new ‘Seasonal Host’ to introduce to you. Watch out for her 'G'day'. Lastly, we recommended you read Sally Jenkins article on Simone Biles in The Washington Post, and listen to the 'Story of Simone Biles' by The Daily Podcast. We'll see you soon guys! *TFL Media is an independent organisation run entirely by young women. Our creative artwork is designed and produced by Molly Mathews.
