Watch Leve's iconic fight against Gabi Garcia here And of course, Selene asks Amanda all about that win against Gabi Garcia. From fighting against the boys, to being told women's wrestling is too 'intimate' to be allowed, Amanda has seen it all.

Selene and Amanda discuss the inner workings and nuances of women's wrestling and the sexist beliefs held by many institutions. While the majority of the women we've had on this series were alive in the years following the inception of Title IX, Amanda gives us her perspective on the ways Title IX has helped/hindered her wrestling career in the modern day.

This week, Selene Yeager talks to Amanda about her experience as a young woman in sport. At 25 years old, Amanda is a professional MMA fighter and considered one of the top grapplers of her generation.

Interviewed by Joan's family friend, Sarah True, the duo discuss what it means to run your own race. Having come into the realm of sport at the exact time of the passing of Title IX, Joan reflects on what that did for her career - and how far we've come. Joan was the winner of the very first women's Olympic Marathon in the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
