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.

Check out Hilary’s AMA on Wednesday, July 19 on r/hockey.

Each AMA will give redditors the opportunity to learn all about what it takes to go for the gold. Athletes will share how they train during the summer months, how they’re preparing for PyeongChang, and what it’s like to reach the ultimate world stage in athletic competition.

(We also anticipate at least one question about duck-sized bobsledders and more than a few “Reddit Gold” puns.)

Over the years, redditors have shown their passion for the Olympics across the site, with AMAs from Paralympians in r/IAmA, lifting gold medalists stopping by r/weightlifting, and a constant stream of original content during every Olympic Games—like this classic gif from r/funny:

Check out all AMAs at u/TeamUSAOlympics with the central hub for Olympic buzz on Reddit at r/olympics, which has been eagerly discussing the 2018 Games since the 2016 Games ended.

Last year, Mashable wrote, “Reddit’s Olympic subreddit should be your first stop for news on the games,” calling r/olympics “a library of Olympics information, a sports bar to chat in and a fantastic highlights news source all in one.”

With the AMAOlympic Conversation Series, the subreddit will also be the best place for fans to engage directly with athletes as they get ready to cheer them on in 2018.
