The Winter Olympics are coming at us fast — almost as fast as a tight turn on an icy track. Ahead of the Milan-Cortina Games, producer Alex sat down with two-time skeleton world championship medalist Mystique Ro to discuss how she made the transition from track & field to sliding on ice, why “warming up” looks a little different in her sport, and what it will take to disrupt the monopoly one man has on the skeleton shoe market. Plus, the things you really want (Good Game's Holiday Gifting Guide) and the thing no one wants (a Dopp kit in lieu of prize money).
