Great decision having two athletes from different sports, their experiences are completely different in ways that neither of them knew or us non-Olympians knew. also, I played basketball in high school so I was a big fan of Lisa Leslie back in the day and then recently I’ve become a fan of soccer in 2015 so also fan of Kelly O’Hara. I love the segment I could listen to them chat year round even of non-sports related things like gardening, books, cooking, and TV shows they are into lol. Just anything I could be into hearing their conversation can’t wait to see more.

This was a really cool behind the scenes. I haven't seen Lisa talk for an extended period of time before, and she's fantastic!

[@SlickPup43]

Had the same thought! What a legend

[@speakinofmegan]

the duo we didn't know we needed 💖

[@Shdoeb]

Lisa Leslie has such a calming presence (and is such a legend). I loved the two of them together!

[@Jbirdjr28]

Love the chemistry between these two!

[@nmikloiche]

I love the chemistry between KO and LL. I think having 2 female athletes who played pivotal roles in their respective sports is very interesting. So many times you get a panel of everyone who plays the same sport, and there is just not much dscovery since they all know each other so well. This was really so different and refreshing. I am like going to have to look into LL now and learn like so much about her.

Love listening to women, who been there talk about different sports and their drive to be there. No hate just respect.

[@yonsy22]

Wow! That's amazing. LL's career should be a case study. Never been injured. Wow!

[@ScyCharlEdward]

Lisa Leslie 💓💓

[@peterdavulis9851]

I listened on audio earlier but knew I had to watch the video too. Great to see the outfits, photos, and the chemistry between these great Olympic athletes.

[@Hayleystrawberry]

Great duo!

[@wheredidsamgo]

Love this duo! LL & KO setting the tone for the Olympics, and both sharing some great insights from elite athlete perspective. Love hearing from Lisa - like many said, she’s so calm and composed but you can tell she still has that fire and spice. Kelley - always bringing the positive energy and running the show. Pumped for more episodes!

[@EEJ73]

Lisa & Kelley need to continue this show beyond the Olympics❤️💙

[@peterdavulis9851]

I would love to see Kelley on the Street with Lisa!

[@missltonay]

[@Dianne-di8qe]

Kelly O’Hara the US women’s national team misses you! Also hated that you guys never got to walk in the opening ceremonies

[@joeyboney]

[@dylanmaxey2531]

Love beach volley ball but can we please get the players some freaking clothes that don't require a wax?

[@JimScholfield]

I'm most interested in the womens 400 hurdles with the two best in history at their peak most likely and both likely to break the world record, that one of them holds.

[@dmonping2399]

Gojira and Marina Viotti took gold at the opening ceremonies! What a middle finger to authoritarian, tyrannical, oligarchical, fascist government leaders!!! Liberty for all humanity!!!! VIVE LA FRANCE 🇨🇵🗽📢
