We are back from Beijing, so it's time to talk about all of the things we couldn't get to while we were in China! Coming along for the fun are contributors Book Club Claire and Superfan Sarah. We talk with them about the US experience vs. the China experience, as well as:

More bus issues
A scare at the airport
The Russia situation
The "Green" Games
So much security
Entering and leaving the warm embrace of the Closed Loop

Plus, our regular features are back! We head to TKFLASTAN for news from Team Keep the Flame Alive members:

Erin Jackson
Lauren Gibbs
Clare Egan
Kelly Claes
Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea
Bradley Wilson
Tony Azevedo
Laura Wilkinson
Ginny Fuchs
Steve Emt
Kim Rhode

Unfortunately, we also have doping news (from London 2012, no less), and an update on the Kamila Valieva investigation.

Paris 2024 has announced its ticketing program, and members of Le Club will get first crack.

And Milan-Cortina has provided details about its mascot competition.
