Olympic Fever

The Rio Games are underway and these Olympics have been plagued with issues.

Today, we kick off our series looking at the Olympic Games. In the upcoming episodes, we’ll look at the issues, stories, sport science, and competition as the world’s greatest sporting event gets underway.

Is it time to rethink the games? Are they becoming too much of a burden for host countries? What does it take to become a world class athlete? Where are we at with doping in sport and what does the future have in store?

We also look at cutting edge programs as countries from around the world battle for podium finishes against the toughest competition on the planet.

Today, we look at the impressive progress of the Canadian Summer Olympic program and we talk with a Paralympic hopeful who will be competing for Gold.
