We catch up with our para powerlifter Bobby Body and talk with him about his experience at Paris 2024, including:
- What it was like to compete on the final day of the Games
- Dealing with no-lifts that resulted in a 4th place finish
- What it's like to get Team USA kit when you've got a powerlifter's body--did Bobby hulk out of his ceremonies uniforms?
We also have news from past and upcoming Games, including a Paris 2024 concert and Milan-Cortina 2026 ticket and torch relay news. The Slidingnovela has another installment, and we have a major announcement about the show's future.
Plus, the International Olympic Committee has picked a year for the first eSports Games (not this year), and we have a lot of news from Team Keep the Flame Alive (TKFLASTAN).

Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
