Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this unforgettable episode of The Dimple Report, host Graceful Grady dives deep into courage, controversy, and championship legacy.
First, we honor the fearless fire of Surya Bonaly — the French skating icon who defied the system, battled racial discrimination, and landed the most rebellious backflip in Olympic history.
Then we shift gears to Olympic powerhouse Elana Meyers Taylor — a history-making bobsled champion whose strength, leadership, and relentless drive redefined what winning looks like on ice.
This is more than sport.
This is resilience.
This is representation.
This is the Dimple Segment.
And as always, Graceful Grady closes with Dimple Verses — where poetry meets power and the Dimples Nation rises together.
