  Cameron Newton Smith (Decathlon)

  Aug 6, 202623 min

  Since 1912 there’s been a men’s Olympic decathlon, the year is 2026 and there is still no women’s Olympic decathlon. That’s a fact that women around the world are fighting to change through the Women’s Decathlon Championships. The event is in its 4th Annual event and will host more athletes, from more countries, than ever before, including Paris 2024 Heptathlete Camryn Newton-Smith. The Australian multi-event specialist takes us inside the sexism that has long been accepted, what it takes in order to become an elite level decathlete and how we can watch and support this movement that she hopes will see her an Olympic decathlete in her home country in just a few years.  Watch the event LIVE on Sunday, August 9th on the Women’s Sports Network and follow along @womensdecathlon as the event unfolds from Cleveland, Ohio.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Special Episode: Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend

  Jul 22, 20261h 7mS4

  This week AJ McCord and The PowHERful Podcast hit the road for Flavor Flav&rsquo;s SHE Weekend in Las Vegas. What started as a tweet offering to throw a part for the Olympic gold medal winning Team USA Women&rsquo;s Hockey team turned into a weekend where the best Olympians and Paralympians from the Milan-Cortina Games took over the Las Vegas Strip. There were parties, panels, and PowHERful conversations about how to elevate women&rsquo;s sport and ensure all sports and athletes are included in that. In this mega-episode AJ catches up with hockey star Laila Edwards, moguls medalist Jaelin Kauf, para-snowboard superstar Brenna Huckaby, ice skating phenom Amber Glenn, cross-country superwoman Jessie Diggins, and first-time Olympian halfpipe snowboarder Bea Kim. They talk Olympics, sidequest maxxing, the emotions of the Games and the weekends in a heartfelt and hilarious episode you don&rsquo;t want to miss.&nbsp; &nbsp; See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
