With World Mental Health Day set for October 10th, this episode
of the Olympics.com podcast checks in on the mental health
movement in the Olympic space - which has morphed by leaps and
bounds over just the last five years.

In a roundtable discussion, Olympic figure skating medallist
Gracie Gold, an IOC Mental Health Ambassador, is joined by Scott
Sloan, the IOC's senior project manager for mental health, in
conversation with host Nick McCarvel.

"When we say mental health, it's about aspiring to have good
mental health... something in the shift there [that] I think is
important," says Sloan about the changing mental health world.

"I think athletes are [now] feeling more comfortable to say like,
'There's this problem and I don't know how to fix it,'" added
Gold, who wrote a memoir that detailed - in part - her own mental
health journey. Now, she says, the response is: "'Let's just
continue to find the answers. And knowing that while it's okay to
not know the answer, it's not okay not to do anything about it."
