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 volleyball that seem to be exciting us the most, so naturally we are offering some bribes to a certain friend of the show to sway the results in our favour. We also feature our very first surprise listener call in to build up anticipation for the coming of breaking and modern pentathlon. So get masked up and keep a safe distance as you listen to our latest episode on everything that went down in Paris today!

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 which had us on the edge of our seat and constantly changing our allegiance. While skateboarding continues to impress us more than in Tokyo, we question whether it is Olympic ready as a sport yet. Raphael joins us for the first time during these games to tell us all about his experience being in Paris last week. And with all the discussion on sports we also deal with a tragedy involving a snow globe. What does a snow globe have to do with the Olympics? You'll be surprised when we find the connection. So tune in to our episode as we vault through everything day 12 had to offer!

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 suspect some alliances may be at work as we choose our Bachie winner for Athlete of the Day, and a counter alliance may or may not be in play against it. To get to the bottom of all the behind the scenes scheming, make sure to download our latest recap and make sure to pick a side!

Just when we thought it might be a rest day here on Off The Podium, we're hit with all the action and excitement of Day Ten, and Colin is joined once again by Alex to go over every historic moment from the day! 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 nothing could top the final field event of the day where a once in a lifetime pole vaulter kept over 70,000 fans eating out of the palm of his hand long after his medal was secure. While no awards would be chosen today by Charlie the Cat, he does make a brief appearance which leads us down a regretful rabbit hole on pet behaviour. So if you've been dying to find the ins and outs of badminton, find out if Eddie Redmayne is competing in the Olympics, or learn who scored free underwear for life, we have the episode for you!

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 we've ever seen, Ethan Katzberg showing off the greatest look anyone has seen in the modern Summer Olympics, and of course the one and only Nicola Olyslagers, and we're turning the tables and writing a nice note to her today in a special fan message. So open up that diary to the Day Nine entry and get ready to write about all your highlights from our daily coverage in today's episode!

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 Katie Ledecky, Summer McIntosh and Kaylee McKeown we did find some time to relate to the youth listeners by appreciating all the "rizz" we're seeing from our favourite athletes so far. We also celebrate as a very special member of TEAM OTP took home a medal today, and it may be the one nobody was expecting. Let's just say you have to go out of your way to listen to today's show and get ready to throw something hard along with the rest of us!

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 archery requires heart rate monitors, why we need to bother with the 50m swimming events and learn more about Italian gymnasts and cheese wheels. Confused? You won't be if you listen! So get to it!

We're rolling along into day six of the Paris Olympics with Colin and Brendan which saw the one and only Simone Biles return to the top of her sport, Australia post a near World Record time in the Women's 4x200 Relay, and Canada's Summer McIntosh join a very exclusive club of Summer Olympians! 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 turned into a sensation overnight, as well as a "too good to be real" story on Australian archery. We also give you an educated lesson in the many pronunciations of the name Masse. Give our latest episode a listen by rowing, swimming, or pole vaulting into your downloads!

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 behind victory. With a live call of a long awaited world record being broken, the shock of seeing Guatemala become the latest Olympic powerhouse, and the conflict of us ranking our favourite Olympic nations, there's plenty of fun and drama on today's recap, so get downloading to hear what has us so hyped up today on Off The Podium!

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 Finals in Gymnastics going as expected, we discuss Simone Biles status as the greatest athlete her sport has ever seen and another TEAM OTP medal. Several new names also get added to our new list of 'Greatest Athlete Names of the Games' and of course our Bachie award with a few contenders that would make one co-host of this show very happy. If you're still reeling from the biggest battle in Off The Podium history, then pick your side and listen in as we settle the score once and for all in today's episode!
