U.S. Olympian Jackie Wiles on Winning Bronze and competing alongside Lindsey Vonn

Olympic bronze medalist Jackie Wiles joins the show for a candid conversation about capturing bronze in the inaugural women’s Alpine combined event and why this moment felt different from the rest. She opens up about competing in her fourth Olympic Games, discovering her confidence at the right time, and growing up in the same hometown as Dani.
