The group breaks down how Shiffrin's competitive nature started at an early age, the injuries that will not deter Vonn's ambition, Shaun White's rise to snowboarding stardom, and why Chloe Kim is pushing boundaries for women everywhere.

After the Opening Ceremony, The Podium will publish daily, recapping the day’s events and biggest competitors from the 18 days competition in PyeongChang. Vox Media will produce the podcast on the ground in PyeongChang.
