Welcome, welcome.
Welcome to armchair Expert.
Experts on Expert.
I'm Dan shepherd and I'm joined by Miss Lily Padman.
Hi.
What a timely episode this is.
We couldn't have planned it this way.
In fact, I wanted to release this early.
You did?
And I actually tried, but it didn't work out.
And then it ended up really working out.
What timing.
What timing.
Marion Jones.
God, did I love Marian Jones.
Fucked Marian Jones.
Former world champion track and field athlete and former professional basketball player.
She is a five time Olympic medalist, formerly deemed the fastest woman on the planet, as you remember.
If you live through all that, she had all of her medals stripped from her.
She now has one of the most inspirational stories of perseverance, and it's incredibly inspiring.
