Wow, so much to cover, so little time - the preparations are really in overdrive over here in Rio, for the athletes anyway. For the Brazilian Olympic Committee, it seems that it is business as usual, with today revealing a new raft of muggings, fatal environmental problems and a police strike. We bring you up to speed on the latest news from Burkina Faso's Rachid Sidibe, Saint Kitts and Nevis' Kim Collins and Refugee Olympic Team's Yonas Kinde, as well as the introduction of the George Stuart Robertson "Thanks for Coming" Award. Oh, and the Soccer starts today, including the one and only "Spewgate" match between Brazil and China. Confused? So are we. Have a listen, see if you can make head or tail of it.
With four days to go until the big dance, we introduce new segments: • Surveillance on Sidibe • Kinde Surprise • Carnavale of Horrors As well, we look at the general state of complete disarray that is the Rio sailing/windsurfing course, why Australian athletes can't not get mugged, and exactly why Kim Collins is the Chazz Michael Michaels of short-track sprinting.
Some countries have tasted the ultimate success at the Olympics. Some countries lose track of how many medals they've won, needing a team of actuaries to keep count. Some countries love winning medals so much, they implement nation-wide doping schemes in a bid to win more. This show is not about those countries. This show is about the countries who have never won a medal. Not one. Not even close. Join us as we take the first look at the athletes and countries who make up, "Medallica: Minnows vs The World".
