Day 1 of the #Paris2024 Games draws to a close, but the unofficial Olympic Podcast of Records was there to save it for posterity.

Chris is in Paris, Ruth is in Clonmel. It's time to Olympipod.

The Olympics hasn't begun! Or hasn't it??

There's only one thing that is for certain - the Olympipod can't be stopped, and that we'll never not have opinions on dressage.

We delve into the impending financial ruin of one of North America's finest cities, erotic Olympic film sequences, Jenner's decathlon domination, East German doping, Nadia's perfect 10s, boycotts and broken knees - all in an hour's work in your latest Olympipod.

The Olympipod arrives to Munich, for what was promised to be "the cheerful Games". These Games, however, would be remembered not for its cheerfulness, but by a horrific terrorist attack that shook the world.

Chris tactfully covers the important events, and Ruth brings stories of dachshunds, drug -takers, and the "Twitch TV".

The latest and most glorious season of the Olympipod has returned! And what a return – Ruth carries an injury into the recording, and has mislayed her notes. Chris brings facts and a chance meeting with an anti-doping officer. There's flops, Swedish beer bans, dislocated knees, and civil rights protests. And just how far can a tortoise jump? Not as far as a man.

Welcome back, to the Olympipod.

With just 504 short days left until the Opening Ceremony of the 33rd Olympiad, Ruth and Chris reflect on the tickets they've already nabbed, and whether they can fit surfing into their schedules. Also! Chris thinks it's a good idea to review each and every Paris Olympic Pictogram! It makes truly riveting listening. Play along on the Paris Pictogram page.

THE OLYMPIPOD IS BACK! After an unannounced and unexpected 10-month haitus, Ruth and Chris have months of out-dated news, misremembered facts, and vague recollections of previously strongly-held beliefs to catch up on.

Will an obstacle course be punched in Paris? Should you arm roller police? How many events could you fit in a pool?

All this and more in our second ever Intercalated Olympipod.

Delivering yesterday's news, today! Also huge pretzels, curling, and ice tug-of-war.
