Back in 1972, the passage of Title IX helped open the door for all people, including young girls, to participate in sanctioned sports activities. To celebrate that and more recent achievements for women reaching parity in the sports world, a two-hour documentary special presents pairs of accomplished women athletes of different generations to discuss the struggles and advancements they’ve witnessed. Billie Jean King hosts and chats with flag football star Diana Flores, with other pairings including basketball star Nancy Lieberman and Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, soccer’s Julie Foudy and Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, track star Jackie Joyner-Kersee and tennis pro Naomi Osaka.
