Three men who dreamt of Olympic glory but have as much athletic prowess as a piece of cheese, bring you weekly Olympian interviews from every corner of the planet, as well as entertaining and insightful analysis from all things related to the Olympic Games.
Earlier this year at the Milano Cortina Olympics, Italian bobsledder Simona de Silvestro became one of the biggest stories of the Games. The accomplished racing driver had already achieved almost everything in motorsport, spending years competing in categories ranging from IndyCar to Supercars in Australia, while also coming tantalisingly close to Formula 1. But one dream had remained unfulfilled: becoming an Olympian. She achieved that goal in 2026, competing in both the monobob and two-woman bobsleigh events at her home Olympics and adding another remarkable chapter to an already stacked resume. We learn from Simona what first sparked her love of speed, what fuelled her long-standing Olympic dream, and how racing the fastest cars on the planet compares to hurtling down an ice track in a bobsleigh. We also find out what it meant to compete at a home Olympics in front of one of the world's most passionate fan bases, whether she has her sights set on another crack at the Games in 2030, and why her career behind the wheel is far from over. It's an amazing chat with an even more amazing athlete that we know you'll love!

Episode 605 - Clara Hughes Interview
An absolutely massive interview coming your way today as we chat with one of Canada’s greatest Olympians and the only person in history to win multiple Olympic medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics, the incredible Clara Hughes. Fresh off the release of her latest autobiography, Clara opens up about some of the incredibly raw and personal stories she shares in the book and explains why it was so important for her to put those experiences out into the world. She also reflects on how being so open about the many challenges she has faced helped shape her during her Olympic career, and how she looks back on those experiences now, many years after her retirement.
We also uncover some amazing stories from throughout her career, as well as her special connection to a certain swimming device that gets our hosts quite happy. It’s one hell of a chat with one hell of an Olympian that you simply can’t miss!
