Believe Women in Sports: Simone Biles, Lindsey Vonn & Media Double Standards

Описание: In this episode of The Click Clack Show, Lauren Duletzke and Jacki G dive into the double standards women athletes face — using Simone Biles and Lindsey Vonn as powerful examples. We break down how the media and public reacted when each Olympian made major decisions about competing, health, and performance… and why women are still questioned when they advocate for themselves.

This conversation goes beyond gymnastics and skiing — it’s about trusting women, athlete mental health, and autonomy in sports.

We also get into some lighter chaos: our Love Is Blind binge, reactions to the Unrivaled one-on-one tournament, rapid-fire athlete questions, and a Coach’s Corner on why joy matters more than winning for kids in youth sports.
If you care about women’s sports, athlete mental health, youth sports culture, or Olympic narratives — this episode is for you.

We’re asking everyone: Believe women. Especially when they know their own bodies and careers.
