Paris 2024 rewind: Looking back at a Games like no other - one year on

July 26th marks one year since the Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024, an eye-popping start to what proved to be an Olympic Games to remember.

While household names like Simone Biles, Tom Daley and Katey Ledecky soared, new stars in Leon Marchand, Noah Lyles, Summer McIntosh and Julien Alfred introduced themselves to the global Olympic audience.

We dive back into Paris in this special rewind episode, featuring stories you may have not yet heard of - both on and off the field of play. Olympic champions Hamish Kerr (athletics) and Toby Roberts (sport climbing) share what it meant to make history for their countries, and bronze medallist Gaby Dabrowski (tennis) details her journey to the podium - less than four months removed from a breast cancer diagnosis.

We also hear from then-IOC President Thomas Bach about his reflections on Paris 2024, check in on the legacy being left behind in France with the IOC's Tania Braga and speak with Jerome Tschupp, one of over 45,000 volunteers from Paris 2024, about his passion for the role - and much, much more.
