This week on The Feist, the marathon world record holder gets slapped with a three-year ban. What's to be done about doping?
First, the women's sports highlights this week & what we're watching:
- How did we not realize it was the Gymnastic World Championships? The U.S. had its least medal haul since 2006 and a lot of big names were missing — but a world championship is still a world championship.
- Swimming world records dropped in Toronto, including Katie Ledecky's 800m record and the first woman ever under 50 seconds in the 100m free.
- Four more years of the Tour de France Femmes! (Thanks, Zwift!) And the women finally get Mont Ventoux.
- And why did Kelly have weird stress dreams about running the New York Marathon this weekend? When she's definitely not running the New York Marathon this weekend.
Then, we have a voicemail from our Feisty correspondent with all the details about the Northern Super League playoffs.
And an interview with Mithali Das, who regionally coordinates the women's programs for USA Cricket — and is here to answer all of our Cricket World Cup questions: Why are games eight hours? How is the women's sport growing now? Who will win the semis and finals this week — and take home the massive prize purse?
Then, before the Feisty Picks of the Week, it's time for our in-the-weeds debate: How do we solve doping?
