About this episode

The episode discusses the rise of the US women's handball team through social media and features insights on the Women's Champions League and EURO qualifiers.

We speak to national team player and former pro basketballer Katie Timmermann about the whirlwind start to 2026 and her path to a home Olympic Games. Aleksa Pavicevic joins us to break down the group phase of the Women's Champions League and the hard-fought play-offs to come, plus a quick check-in on the national team week with surprise results in the EURO qualifiers.
