Hi, friends! In this episode, Lindsay Gibbs celebrates Sha'Carri Richardson's big 100m victory and provides a brief recap of the week in women's sports.

Then (6:02), Pardeep Cattry of CBS Sports joins Lindsay to talk about Spain's big win over England in the World Cup final, the many ways the patriarchy tried to ruin the moment, Gianni Infantino's insulting speech, and the return of the NWSL.

Finally (46:17), women's basketball writer Jackie Powell comes on the show to talk about a wild week at the top of the WNBA standings, with the Aces and Liberty swapping big wins.

Here are few TikTok clips from the podcast:
