The world of sports and true crime collide in the new Netflix series, "Bad Sport." The show examines the misdeeds of athletes,
coaches, officials... and even nations. Episodes include a point-shaving scandal in basketball, a
match-fixing case in soccer, an Indycar drug smuggling operation, and an insurance fraud involving
the assassination of... a racehorse.

But today we focus on the episode set in the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. For decades, the Russians had dominated the sport of pairs figure skating. But that year, the underdog Canadian pair turned in a flawless performance, while their Russian competitors stumbled. To the shock of the sporting world, the judges denied the Canadians their gold medal. Then the Olympics was thrown into confusion when the French judge said she was forced to give the gold to Russia.

“Gold War” recalls the score-fixing scandal and looks at the two couples caught in the middle of
an international incident. In today’s episode, we speak to Lizzie Kempton, the episode director of "Gold War."
