WE ARE ALIVE!

After spending 15 business days in the skies, the final wrap of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games is here.

We cover off the totally normal closing ceremony, before delivering our recap of our much anticipated meeting with the IOC.

In a wonderful case of things coming full circle, the final edition of Apocalympics Now ends exactly where it started - in the poo-infested tip that is the Seine. It also covers some incredibly arrogant decisions by the LA 2028 organisers.

As the ridiculously hot Paris sun sets on the games, we take a look at the final minnow medal tally to crown our Major Minnow of these Olympics, which feature some bold mover on the last day of competition.

And speaking of bold, it’s been an absolute pleasure to have our Riggustani Supreme Leader, Carrera Eyewear, along for the ride this games. Remember to access your discounted pair of sunnies at au.carreraworld.com/discount/medallica

We now look towards Milano Cortina 2026 in 18 months time. We will be dropping content until then so make sure to stay up to date with the journey here and at www.gusandrig.biz

Till then, A River Derr Chee

HOPE YOU’RE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF YOUR STORY AND HAVE GOT A DRIVE AHEAD OF YOU BECAUSE HERE’S A BLOCKBUSTER WRAP OF DAYS 12 AND 13

We have been at the front of a now very full Teboggan as we ride Letsile Tebogo’s 200m gold medal for Botswana and we don’t wanna get off.

The Refugee Team also gets off the mark in a huge way, with a bold display that Carrera Eyewear would be proud of.

Apocalympics Now covers a breaking performance that will live in infamy, while we go over the fact that we have a lot in common with the bronze medals, as we too are falling apart.

While there are some disappointments in Minnow Watch, we are buoyed by the possibility that there may be one more golden duck broken before the games end, courtesy of one Central Asian boxer.

It’s crunch time in the Minnow Medals, which will be coming down to the absolute wire.

IT’S DAY 11, SO GET IN THE CAR, WE’RE DRIVING OUR STORY TO CRÉMEVILLE

We welcome our newest Riggustani Public Servant before launching how our bid for Riggustan 2036: It’s Liechtenstein-time is looking ahead of our meeting with the IOC.

Apocalympics Now brings a cautionary tale from the Elephant’s Graveyard that is the 9th arrondisement, and a run-in with Big Cheese.

Minnow Watch is as bloated as Rig after a fistful of crémes, so we touch on all the minnows that are still a chance to grab medals. And finally, we turn to the Minnow Medal Tally, which is coming right down to the wire in the final days of competition, with an unfamiliar presence threatening the old guard for minnow supremacy.
