Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast ·

2024/09/19

With the Paralympics over, we wanted to bring you a very unique and special episode that might just be the most original we have ever done on Off The Podium. Today we are celebrating a truly iconic Olympian in George Eyser, an American gymnast who back in 1904 set the record for most Olympic medals won in a single day when he claimed six medals in gymnastics. What is even more incredible about George's achievement, is that he did so with a wooden leg. It's an amazing story about an amazing

With the Olympics over for another four years, it's now time to switch focus to the Paralympics in Paris which are set to begin in less than a week.

All good things must come to an end, and after the Paris 2024 Olympics set the bar so high with the opening ceremony, we're here to discuss whether the closing ceremony was able to vault over that bar or not! We're privileged to have another ground floor call-in guest to give us instant reactions of the ceremony as the stadium emptied, talking about everything from floating pianos to athletes rushing the stage to most importantly how Tom Cruise looked and smelled up close.

Show of hands who enjoyed day 15's never ending string of medals awarded today? We definitely might have! Strangely though we're still discussing yesterday's show with a continued plea to leave the poor athletes alone. Unless you're there to cheer for New Zealand killing it today, in which case join us as we give them their due, even if it might go against our show's mission statement. We watch along as US goes for the one gold medal in basketball that might have broken the country if

Please forgive the tears of joy coming from Colin and the shot voice after the Men's 100m relay today, but we do have more important things to discuss on Off the Podium, mainly the sport of BREAKING! Just what did we witness today? Do we understand it? Do we like it? Do we want more? And even aside from our feelings on the sport we have a huge behind the scenes rally today for one particular B-Girl to potentially win our Athlete of the Day. There is still plenty of non Breaking discussion

It felt like a day full of upsets in Paris, but we are anything but upset to be here to cover all the events from Day 13 of the Paris 2024 Olympics! With Covid hitting the track and field, we saw historic wins in the 200 metres, 400 metres and javelin, but it was the team sports that really captured us today as we saw a huge last minute come from behind victory in the basketball. While there were medals for both Australia and Canada, it's the hope of future medals in water polo and beach

We are back for all your Day 12 cover of the Olympics here on Off The Podium! It was a historic day for Australia at the games, but sadly we have no Australians here to talk about it, although we definitely share our love from across the pond. But that's nothing compared to our love for Lithuania today as we cover a feel good story of the games in the Discus between father and son. We also continue to talk up maybe the most exciting sport on the field so far with the Women's Pole Vault

Day 11 saw many of our Off The Podium nations continue to falter in the team sports, so Colin and Jarrod are here to create new national teams to cheer for as we go over all the events of today's Olympic schedule! We surprisingly talk up Skateboarding as we marvel at everything an athlete can accomplish at the age of 11-14, and not a day beyond. Also providing plenty of giggles today was the near hilarious end to the Men's 1500m finals that saw a sneaky finish nobody saw coming. We also

We talk up everyone's favourite new sport the Kayak Cross with our first ever gold medalists in Noemie Fox and Finn Butcher. There was also no disappointment in the return of the Triathlon Mixed Relay which has proven to be the most exciting mixed event of the Olympics. Of course

We are back on Day Nine to declare the one and only Novak Djokovic the new King of the Court, and any listener of our show will be surprised to hear a fair amount of love coming from of all people, Jarrod! With swimming wrapping up we bid farewell to two queens of the pool, with Colin having some harsh words for the decision makers in the relays. There's plenty of love to go around today as we also bow at the feet of Noah Lyles for backing up all his talk in perhaps the closest 100m finish

2024/08/04

Words can hardly describe everything that went down on during Day Eight, but to summarise it best we ask the question on everyone's mind: where is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price? The shocking disappearance shook up everyone involved in the Olympics, with the exception of one phenomenal unbreakable athlete from the tiny nation of Saint Lucia. To add to the drama we also witnessed more shake-ups in the Decathlon which ended in a dramatic finish. Through more record breaking wins in the pool from

We're a week into the Paris Olympics, although we think Paris might've exploded given the excitement that is existing around a certain Leon Marchand and his continued success! We are here to talk about it, why we love Leon so much and why the world is just going Leon crazy. We also talk about more Australia gold, more Canada bronze and more Team OTP medals after a day away from the medal tally. We also try to find out just why so many people are dropping out of the decathlon, why on earth

We also debate whether Colin's to thank (or blame) for America nearly doubling it's golds in one day. There were plenty of fun internet stories to cover today including a potential Turkish hitman that

On a day where Australia officially replace the term GOAT with FOX, and America's greatest swimmer continued her legendary career with another gold, and Canada broke a 12 year drought with men medalling in the pool, everyone on Off The Podium can finally be happy as we go through a packed day five of the Paris Olympics! We're also happy to report the water of the Seine is safe and everyone made it out of the Triathlon healthy, although it did lead to some crashes and a last minute come

It was a full day war between Canada and Australia and Colin and Trent are here to bring you both perspectives of the four event battle on Day Four of the Paris Olympics! We talk about the triumphant or heartbreaking (depending on who you ask) semi-final of the Rugby 7s, as well as the intense and emotional bronze and gold matchups. We go over the men's Basketball and women's 3x3 matchups, and finally get around to the victory for Australia in the pool. With the women's All Around Team
