Episode 177: Will Brisbane Host the 2032 Olympics?

Keep the Flame Alive

It's another week with a TBach press conference, so we take the opportunity to dive into the International Olympic Committee's new five-year plan/math problem called Agenda 2020 +5. We also have a report from the IOC's Future Host Commission. Could the Olympics go back to Australia in 2032? Plus, more feelings about the International Weightlifting Federation and Tokyo 2020's new leader.

Our TKFLASTANIS in the news this week include:

• Beach volleyball player Kelly Claes
• XC skier Kikkan Randall
• Biathlete Clare Egan
• USA Weightlifting CEO Phil Andrews
• Speedskater Erin Jackson

Plus we have updates from Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 -- and some doping news.
