Built Quotes
Historically, there was a difference in the percent back between the men and women, so we were trying to equalize that. That was the concept. ... But today, it doesn't look the same. Rachel built her case and we supported that, but the Olympic committee didn't feel like they could make a change.

Act Quotes
