Best Summer Olympics Sporting Event

The Summer Olympics are back in 2024, as the XXXIII Olympiad will take place in Paris, France, July 26-August 11. While we at the Great Pop Culture Debate might not generally be super into sports, we LOVE the Olympics. As part of our 2024 Summer Specials, we're doing an episode devoted to the pageantry, the display of peak human abilities, and most importantly, the barely concealed muscles. Join us as we discuss the Best Summer Olympics Sporting Event! Sports discussed include: Diving, Swimming, Rugby, Water Polo, Softball, Basketball, Gymnastics, Hurdles, Jumping, Distance Running, and more.

Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback, Curtis Creekmore, and Joelle Boedecker as they discuss 16 of the most popular sporting events of the modern Summer Olympic Games.
