After a typically precise and covid-devalued Opening Ceremony, Day 1 is underway at Tokyo.
Join the boys as they run the rule over the fanfare of the first night at the Tokyo National Stadium and face the burning questions that arose.
How good was the lights and graphics and shit? Will the weight of a state-of-the-art graphite flagpole cost Cate Campbell? And if the Olympics are supposed to help us forget about COVID, then why was the whole thing packed with references to this feral virus?
Once that’s sorted, we’ll look forward to the Aussies in action on day one. There’s a six-time table tennis legend, blue collar hockey players, and a good strong bloke on the surfboard. Who should we keep an eye on? Who’s going to bomb out? And who deserves the weight of a nation’s unattainable expectations?
Featuring the unbridled Olympic Spirit of social commentator and comedian, Luke Heggie.
