76. Pay Inequity in Women's Athletics with Ilona Maher

How much does an Olympic athlete REALLY make? Why are women’s athletics so grossly underpaid in comparison to their men’s team counterparts (especially when they’re outperformed at the highest levels *side eye*)? We wanted to know everything about the state of women’s athletics, so we brought in one of the biggest names in women’s sports –– Ilona Maher. You might remember Ilona from her viral TikToks taking you behind the scenes of the 2020 Olympic Games or for her “Beast, Beauty, Brains” slogan. In this episode, Tori and Ilona talk about everything from the challenges of women’s sports to the privilege of access to athletics, to what it’s like dating as an Olympian.
