Chasing the Rings in Milan

from Why We Wrote This · host The Christian Science Monitor

In our last episode, we spoke with a veteran of Olympics coverage, in Milan for his eighth Games. This week, we sit down with an Olympics rookie, also in Milan, who has brought to bear the reporting skills she honed covering hardball national politics. Olympics editor Kendra Nordin Beato guest hosts this conversation with Story Hinckley. They discuss how Story attacked her assignment like a slalom skier running the gates, got thoroughly swept up in the spirit of competition – and learned a few things about herself while delivering some gold-medal coverage.
