Olympic Figure Skating: Meg's Rink-side Adventures

I Couldn’t Throw It Out
I Couldn’t Throw It Out
Episode • Jan 6, 2024 • 50m

Covering live Olympic figure skating on TV is no easy task. Just ask Meg Streeter Lauck, who worked for 23 years as a director for ABC Sports and other networks.  Her behind-the-scenes tales  -- which she shares in this episode -- reveal how her team nabbed the perfect shot of Canadian skating champions Sale and Pelletier at the 2002 Olympics. Plus, she recreates the thrill of first seeing 13-year-old Dorothy Hamill on the ice, and the sadness of a visit to an NYC fire station after 9/11.  Will telling these tales help Meg make the leap -- and toss some of her stuff?
