I swear if Amaya gets fourth in the Mass Start. I’m canceling the games.

I really enjoy watching and especially listening to Polish curling team. Nice to hear some Polish in the Olympic coverage. (PS. I watch on Eurosport Player so I have no commentary).

It’s when I have to say names like that, that I seriously reconsider doing a podcast . I butcher names quite frequently as anyone who’s been listening would know 

That's why you do the podcast with me

I read a good book about this few weeks ago, "Olympics and politics" (Olimpiadi e Politica)
