Here’s this week’s update on sports around the world
SOCCER
Hope Solo was on a Swedish talk show last Friday and sort of apologized for calling them “cowards” during the 2016 Olympics. Solo also clarifies that she is not retired as well as insight on the equal pay dispute with the U.S. Soccer Federation. You can watch the segment, and yes, that is Tyra Banks calling Solo the “Martin Luther King of women’s soccer”.
OLYMPICS
Not sure how we missed this gem during the Olympics. Yes, that’s Drago from Rocky IV attempting to eat Team USA Olympic Pentathlon sisters (Margaux & Isabella Isaksen).
TEAM GB
Team USA Olympic athletes get to visit the White House, but Team GB athletes get their own celebratory trip to London with a parade and visit with members of the royal family!
