Reddit is launching the first-ever AMA Olympic Conversation Series!
Starting July 19, Reddit will host weekly AMAs with numerous Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls training to represent the U.S. at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in February.
Scheduled every Wednesday from 1-2 pm EST, the Olympic Conversation Series will run nearly five months (July 19 through December 13), with a lineup of AMA guests that will include an unprecedented range of Olympic and Paralympic athletes in figure skating, snowboarding, ice hockey, bobsled, speedskating, skiing, curling, luge, and every other major winter sport.
The series will kick off with two-time Olympic silver medalist (and six-time World Champion hockey player) Hilary Knight on July 19. As a member of the U.S. Women’s National Hockey Team and one of the top female hockey players in the world, Hilary is working to change the landscape for women in sports.
The series will continue with athletes including figure skaters Ashley Wagner, Gracie Gold and Adam Rippon; bobsledder Aja Evans; Paralympic snowboarder Amy Purdy, snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis; luge athlete Chris Mazdzer; freeskiiers Nick Goepper and McRae Williams; as well as surprise AMAs from some of the greatest Olympians of all time.
