Two weeks. Countless moments. One unforgettable Olympics.

In this final episode of the series, we look back at the biggest highlights, surprise upsets, breakout stars, and powerful stories that shaped the Games.

With perspective from someone who has competed at the Olympics, we talk about what these moments truly mean for the athletes, the legacy of the competition, and what we’ll remember long after the torch goes out.

Let us know in the comments, what was your favorite sport or moment to watch?

Love you guys,

Shawn & Andrew
