Elise Ray-Statz is a national champion and Olympic medal-winning gymnast who’s now head coach of the gymnastics team at the University of Washington, where she’s led the Huskies to top-20 finishes in back-to-back seasons.

Elise joins us to talk about that and her experience competing in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, where she and Team USA earned a bronze medal in one of the more controversial Olympic games.
