The Crotch Machine with Paige Jones

Paige Jones, member of the U.S. National Ski Jumping Team, joins Sarah to share a concerning experience she had during inspections before a recent competition. Jones explains why a scandal involving altered ski jumping suits has resulted in more intense examinations, details just what the heck a crotch machine is, and asks her sport’s governing body to better prioritize athlete comfort and safety. Plus, the Women’s Decathlon World Championships crown the “World’s Greatest Athlete,” the US Open bucks tradition, and a Super Slice steals my birthday spotlight–in the best kind of way.
