Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re talking the pressure of being called the “Quad God,” Ilia Malinin and what it’s like to carry the weight of expectations on young shoulders. We dive into Lindsey Vonn’s push-through-anything mentality and ask, when is it grit, and when is it just stubborn?
And of course, we somehow make it about ballet.
Gold medals vs. standing ovations. Sparkle costumes. Nicknames we definitely would have given ourselves.
It’s high stakes, high drama, and very unserious commentary from two former dancers who absolutely would have won a medal for overthinking.
Tune in for Olympic glory, ballet crossovers, and a lot of laughs.
Thanks for hanging out with us on Beyond the Pointe.
