It\u2019s a special Olympic-themed episode this week on Commute!
Gold. Silver. Bronze. To win an Olympic medal is a lifetime achievement, an invitation into an exclusive club of enteral glory. But what\u2019s the award itself worth, and not just in dollars and cents?
It sure seems cool to host the Olympics, but is it worth it? Global exposure carries a unique set of challenges.
How do you become an Olympian? Aside from talent and passion, what\u2019s the day-to-day training schedule actually look like? And you have (get) to eat HOW much food?!
