Show Notes

Five-time Olympian Kirsty Coventry has been elected as the new president of the International Olympic Committee. She's the first woman and the first African to lead the organization.

What's her story, and how will she shape the Olympics for years to come? We take a deep dive to find out.

Plus, another chapter in the Milan-Cortina 2026 slidingnovela, updates (and concerns) for LA 2028, and Brisbane 2032 missed the Agenda 2020+5 memo.

Looking for tickets to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics? Another ticket drop happens on April 8, 2025. Paralympic tickets? Always on sale.
