Cincinnati has a long history of producing accomplished Olympic athletes.
From William DeHart Hubbard, who won gold in the long jump during the 1924 Paris Olympics, to swimmer Carson Foster, who’s bringing home silver and bronze medals from this year’s games — the Queen City can boast generations of success.

Guests:
- Mary Wineberg, 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the U.S. Women’s 4 x 400 meters relay
