Winter Olympics 2026: Scandals and Psychology

Winter Olympics 2026: Scandals and Psychology

The Winter Olympics are supposed to be about discipline, excellence, and national pride. So why does every single Games come wrapped in controversy, ego, and emotional chaos? In this episode of Open Wide, Dr. Jenny and Susan break down the drama behind the medals — from risky returns and questionable judging to cheating scandals and public apologies that didn’t land the way someone hoped.


But underneath the humor and headlines is a bigger question: what happens when your entire identity, future, and self-worth hinge on one performance? We dive into the psychology of elite competition, the pressure of perfection, and why even gold medals can’t fix broken character. It’s funny, sharp, and unexpectedly thoughtful — just how we like it.
