×Well that ain’t it. Today’s episode of The GIST of It is all about Ironman (no, not this Iron Man ) after the sport’s governing body recently announced that women won’t have their own championship race starting in 2026. It’s only been three years since the sport separated the women’s and men’s events — and the ripple effects of shifting back are vast. Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz provide the context you need before digging into the details about the decision itself, including how it will disproportionately affect women competitors. Not cool. Show notes: More on The GIST: ☎️ Leave us a voicemail!

Here’s to a legend! Diana Taurasi, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, announced her retirement on Tuesday, so today’s episode of The GIST of It is a toast to the queen of confidence. As co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz discuss, Taurasi’s skill, starpower, and most of all, swagger, re-defined women’s hoops — the game is in a bigger, better, and brighter place because of her. Bowing to the best. Then in part two, the gals stay on the hardwood, previewing this weekend’s must-watch NCAA women’s hoops action as the regular season comes to a close. March is so close, we can taste it. Show notes: More on The GIST: Subscribe: thegistsports.com/subscribepod X: @thegistpod Email: pod@thegistsports.com IG: @thegistca @thegistusa…
Ice, ice, baby. Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is chasing history, now just 13 goals away from breaking Wayne “The Great One” Gretzky’s all-time NHL scoring record. So on today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz dive into Ovi’s pursuit of greatness, from his consistency across 20 (!!!) NHL seasons, to the challenges he’s overcome this year. Then in part two, the gals zoom out to examine how record chases impact pro sports leagues and discuss the legendary athletes continuing a high level of play well into their thirties. Age is just a number, right? Show notes: More on The GIST: Subscribe: thegistsports.com/subscribepod X: @thegistpod Email: pod@thegistsports.com IG: @thegistca @thegistusa…

Hey now. And stick around for part two, where Steph and Lauren preview the hottest action in women’s sports this weekend, from the finale of Unrivaled’s upset-heavy 1-on-1 tourney to the PWHL Takeover Tour’s visit to Edmonton.
