<p><em>Recorded at 11pm on Saturday night and already our GB medals toll is out of date…</em>&nbsp;At the end of the <strong>most controversial Olympics</strong> in almost a century, Financial Times Sports Editor <strong>MURAD AHMED</strong> calls us from Tokyo to lift the curtain on what it all means. Is the International Olympics Committee finally getting the message on athletes’ mental health and political commitments? Did the “Russian Olympic Committee” successfully pull a fast one on the anti-dopers? Is Britain’s commitment to medals all it seems? And did the Japanese people learn to love the games they wanted to cancel?</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast</a></p><ul><li><em>“The sport has been fantastic, but the pandemic has taken away the Olympics atmosphere”</em></li><li><em>“People would wave at me on the bus thinking I was an athlete”</em></li><li><em>“For me, Simone Biles choosing to focus on her mental health was the biggest moment of the games”</em></li><li><em>“If you think you’ve been watching clean sport, then you haven’t watched the Olympics. This goes well beyond Russia”</em></li></ul><p><em>Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers: Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic.
