Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼It’s been a while since Kerri STRUG appeared in the puzzle; I vaguely remember how extremely dramatic the U.S. women’s gymnastics competition was in that 1996 Olympics. It doesn’t seem like a movie was ever made but the “Magnificent Seven” won gold in what must count as one of the most nerve-racking competitions, narrowly beating the Soviet team, back when there was still a frisson of Cold War in the air — oh, and when people didn’t even blink at an imposing male coach screaming at his minuscule athletes. Bad old days, right? Anyway, apparently Kerri Strug works for the Department of Justice these days.
