Gritty, Not Pretty: LOVB in Paris

We’ve got two interviews for you this time! First, host Tiffany Oshinsky checks in with Olympic bronze medalist and LOVB Head of Pro Integration Courtney Thompson, who’s on the ground in Paris. The two chat about what it’s like to be in Paris for the Olympics, what the arena feels like, and the U.S.’ quarterfinal sweep of Poland, among other topics. Also, Audrey and Nicole Nourse, four-time NCAA beach champions at USC, join the show to talk about the Olympics – both indoor and beach – team chemistry when your partner is your twin sister, using volleyball to develop character, and how the two built their social media presence as the Beach Volleyball Twins.  Follow the Nourse twins together on Instagram and TikTok, or follow Audrey (Instagram) and Nicole (Instagram) separately.  Follow Courtney on Instagram and listen to her new podcast, Beyond the Court: A LOVB Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
