Editor's note: You’ll notice that this episode is publishing a little later than normal-and we wanted to share why. Raven Saunders’ mother, Clarissa, passed away this week while attending the Team USA “friends and family” hospitality event as a guest of NBC and the USOPC at Universal Orlando Resorts, which you’ve seen throughout these weeks during our coverage of the Games.

Raven, who won silver in the women’s shot put in Tokyo, is a key voice you’ll hear in this episode and the conversation you’re about to hear was recorded prior to this tragic event.

Raven asked that we share this statement with you:  

"To my fans, family and well-wishers, it's with a heavy heart I wish to thank all of you for the wonderful support through these past 36 hours.

My mother Clarissa Saunders was my rock and guiding light throughout my entire life. Having her was the best blessing God could have ever given me. I'm so grateful that she was able to share this Olympic experience with me and see the fruits of our labors on earth before she was taken home by the almighty. I will forever honor her sacrifices for her family. My mama was a great woman and will forever live through me. My number one guardian angel, I will always and forever love you."

We send our deepest condolences to the Saunders family and friends.
