Paris Pod: Beach Volleyball Enters the Scandinavian Era; Duda and AP put Brazil back on top

This is the FINAL Paris Pod/Road to Paris/The Road is Here. The Road is done. The Olympic Games are over. And goodness gracious gosh almighty was it one hell of an Olympic Games. We brought out all the stops for this one, bringing in Travis Mewhirter, Kyle Friend and Tri Bourne to break down an unforgettable Olympic Games, in which we chat about:

• Ana Patricia and Duda putting Brazil back on top of the world with the first Brazilian women’s gold medal since 1996 – before AP and Duda were born
• Sweden’s David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig bouncing back to win most lopsided gold medal match in history
• Melissa Humana-Paredes becoming the greatest Canadian beach volleyball player of all-time
• Why Duda, Nina Brunner, and Brandie Wilkerson all made a case for MVP of these Olympic Games

And much, much more.

MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of the Road to Paris listeners these last 18 months! It has been an absolute blast, and I appreciate every single one of you!

Much love and you know what to say:

SHOOTS!
