I welcome Olivia Reeves back on the podcast! She was previously on episodes 219 & 236, where we discussed her background in the sport, her thoughts on making it to the Olympics, and what it would take to reach the podium. In this episode, we relive her Olympic victory, where she took gold in the 71 kg class at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. But that wasn't it for Olivia, she went on to win gold at 2024 Worlds, becoming the first American to achieve this feat since 1958.
