Show Notes
Japan, by its language, geography and history, offers a fascinatingly distinct culture. And the same applies to interests and philosophies around sport. In this episode, we dive into the host nation’s own Olympic sports to experience a more authentic Tokyo Games, and how seeing the athletic world from a different lens can make it more meaningful.
Feel the precision and protocol of Karate with Sakura Kokumai and Tom Scott, and get a glimpse into the wild world of professional Keirin racing with Kaarle McCullogh.
Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports’ The Podium. Episode 5 also features Mary Carillo’s telling of the “Friendship Medals” of 1936.
