RTC128: Behind the rings: the economics of the Olympics

Ever wondered what it costs to host the Olympics, or why some athletes end up broke after earning millions? We’re diving into the financial rollercoaster that is the Olympics—from billion-dollar budgets to the heartbreaking realities athletes face when the spotlight dims. Soph and Vic get real about the impact of the games on cities, the mind-boggling differences in athlete payouts across countries, and why Australia’s women are absolutely crushing it in the medal department. Plus, we get a little sidetracked (as usual) with stories of rhythmic gymnastics fails and what Snoop Dogg was doing at the games. Spoiler: It's a wild ride, but totally worth the ticket price (unlike Vic's dressage experience). Some laughs, facts, and a whole lot of financial wisdom wrapped up in Olympic spirit!
