Day 12: Red Means Slow, Purple Means Go - Tennis and Track & Field

The Podium

Epic Olympic performances are said to be built “from the ground up” but in Paris, historic and novel ground surfaces are literally affecting the speed of sport. Track and field athletes Eleanor Patterson, Nicola Olyslagers, Shamier Little, Bryce Deadmon and Matthew Wilkinson juxtapose their fast track with the slow clay court that Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram faced at Roland Garros. Join host Zora Stephenson weekly and every day during the games, to hear the Olympics like you’ve never quite heard them before. Follow the show on the Amazon Music or your favorite podcast platform. And watch and listen to every moment of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games July 26 – August 11 on NBC & Peacock.
