20 Questions w/ Christina & Talia
by Yard Athletics – March 3rd, 2021
WE’RE BACK. The best question and answer series on the internet… accept literally zero substitutes. Forget about that other, less good Q&A from some “famous fashion magazine” that asks far too many questions and comes off sterile and inauthentic…
No we’re not jealous.
Today we welcome Christina and Talia, two regulars at Yard Athletics for the last few years who can truly lay claim to being #YARDHARD (Christina currently working out with a broken wrist…)
We find out which of the Canadian movie “Ryan’s” is best (hint: neither), what special hobbies they have, and what the most regretful COVID purchase of 2020 was.
