It’s an incredible look behind the curtain at the Winter Olympic experience, and one you won't want to miss!

THE GAMES ARE OVER. SAD! But it does mean we’re back to celebrate them properly, wrapping up all the highlights, favourite moments and everything else from Milano Cortina 2026 in our big recap episode! How do these Games stack up against past Olympics, and does being there in person change the perspective? Were we fans of how spread out they were, or would we prefer things closer together? How did Australia and Canada perform compared to expectations? And, most importantly, how did our medal predictions go and who came out on top? It’s an epic way to close it all out. Tune in! You won’t be disappointed!

It was a massive final day of Milano Cortina 2026, with the Closing Ceremony capping off an epic day of medals and we’re here to wrap it all up in style! We give our take on a very unique Closing Ceremony and debate whether hosting it in what was essentially a theatre was a good or bad move. We also try to work out if we actually learnt anything about the French Alps, as well as how we really feel about Kirsty Coventry and her speeches. We also dive into THAT hockey final and reveal whether Ben is sad, happy or somewhere in between after experiencing it in person. Plus, we run through the other medal events from the day and do our best not to talk about Eileen Gu. It's one massive way to close out the Games, don’t miss it!

It’s a record-breaking day at the Milano Cortina Olympics, featuring a history-making moment from Johannes Klaebo, alongside more medals for Canada, another Team OTP gold, and plenty of standout storylines you won’t want to miss! We break down Klaebo’s incredible achievement and assess just how far he can go in the conversation around the greatest Olympians of all time. We also unpack a triple-medal day for Canada and analyse what it will take for them to finally break into the top ten of the medal table tomorrow. Plus, we celebrate Team OTP success, debate why more events should be mass start, and preview the flag bearers ahead of tomorrow’s closing ceremony. It’s another action-packed episode, don’t miss it!

Another massive day of Milano Cortina is behind us and another massive episode is ahead as Colin returns to celebrate Canada’s hockey escape (and Ben is more than happy to join in) as we recap Day 14 of the Games! We break down a thrilling ice hockey clash that sees Canada reach the men’s gold medal game for the first time since 2014. We also celebrate more Canadian medals, including another Team OTP podium as Valerie Maltais once again delivers when it matters most. Elsewhere, we give Germany their flowers after an epic win in the women’s freestyle ski cross, show some love once again to our favourite French biathlete, and breathe a collective sigh of relief when it comes to short-track speed skating. It’s another episode you simply can’t miss!
