Episode 3018: The Great Olympics, From Doubters To Believers, Sports Tapas, New Generation With New Expectations
Ken came into this Olympics a doubter and left it a believer. Was this the greatest ever Games?
We chat to Cathal Dennehy and Gavin Cooney about the event, the Irish mentality, the 4th-place-a-thon, the drugs question, and how the future looks for us as an Olympic nation.
Plus there’s woozy Wiffen, sports tapas, pickleball rules and as ever Satan has his way with ceremonies and just Europe in general.
