Episode 264: Visiting the Atlanta 1996 Archives

Dec 1, 2022

If you love Izzy, this episode is for you! In November Jill had the opportunity to go to Atlanta and was able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Atlanta 1996 archives at the Atlanta History Center. Collections Manager Erica Hague showed Jill a few of the thousands of things they have in storage and walked her through TKFLASTANI Sarah Dylla’s exhibit on the Atlanta 1996 Games.

To see photos and videos from this visit, check out our website and/or YouTube Channel.

In our Albertville 1992 history moment, Jill looks at the women's biathlon relay, which is a color pukesplosion with an amazing finish. Watch it in all its glory here.

In news from TKFLASTAN we have updates from:

Pin collector Don Bigsby
Table tennis player Milly Tapper
Beach volleyball player Kelly Cheng

In our Paris 2024 update, registration for the first ticket lottery has started. Join Le Club for better access. Also, more Phrygees will be made in France. You don't say?

The International Olympic Committee has announced it will hold an e-sports week, complete with competitions. Maybe we can train up for this one!

And the International Paralympic Committee held an Extraordinary General Assembly to vote on whether Russia and Belarus should remain members. SPOILER ALERT: It's not a good ending for Russia and Belarus.
