I finally made it to Europe. And I did the Tour Du Mont Blanc!After spending years building it up in my head as complicated, intimidating, and full of opportunities to embarrass myself, I decided to jump into the deep end and hike the Tour du Mont Blanc.Over three days, I crossed France, Italy, and Switzerland, climbed more than 30,000 feet, slept in mountain refugios, drank an irresponsible amount of espresso, and somehow got bitten by an Italian fox.In this episode, I recap the entire adventure, from getting lost in Geneva Airport to watching the sunset from Le Brévent above Chamonix. Along the way, I share what surprised me most about the Alps, why I put off Europe for 35 years, and how the things that scare us are often much easier than we imagine.Topics:Tour du Mont Blanc recapEarly season conditions and snowHiking through France, Italy, and SwitzerlandRefugio cultureTraveling solo in EuropeThe Italian fox incidentEspresso, croissants, and mountain passesLessons from 100 miles around Mont BlancIf you enjoy the episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.Read the full Tour du Mont Blanc trip report:freeoutside.substack.comSupport the show:patreon.com/freeoutsideSupport our Sponsors: Sawyer: https://sawyerdirect.net/Janji (code: Freeoutside): https://snp.link/a0bfb726CS Coffee: CSinstant.coffeeGarage Grown Gear: https://snp.link/db1ba8abSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside#Trailrunning #Runningnews #Outdoors #Outdooradventure

Un contrôleur de train annonce le départ pour Fribourg. Je monte à bord, direction Couvet, dans le Jura neuchâtelois suisse.Deux heures de retard — chose rare en Suisse, je le précise avec une pointe d'ironie — pour rejoindre l'un des événements trail les plus authentiques d'Europe : le Swiss Canyon Trail, trente et unième édition.Ce n'est pas un épisode comme les autres. Pas de studio, pas de table ronde. Juste un micro tendu dans les allées de retrait des dossards, au pied de la ligne de départ aux aurores, sous le soleil du Jura. Quatre voix, quatre façons d'aimer la montagne et le trail.Patrick Christinat, fondateur de la course, a posé la trace en un soir, trente ans en arrière. Il y avait une volonté simple et viscérale : faire découvrir une région, donner aux coureurs un endroit où se perdre vraiment. Aujourd'hui, il pleure encore au départ chaque année. Il me parle de la dérive de certaines grandes épreuves — « l'esprit fric » contre l'esprit trail — avec une franchise qui ne cherche pas à ménager. Il raconte l'édition de l'année passée, la plus éprouvante de sa vie, et un baby blues d'organisateur que peu de gens voient.Cornelia Forte, elle, porte un projet inédit : le Swiss Women's Trail, premier trail cent pour cent féminin de Suisse, programmé pour le 12 septembre. Une belle promesse de suite.Pippa Ebel, International Partnership Manager de Kailas FUGA, me dessine les contours d'une marque chinoise qui arrive en Europe avec méthode, discrétion et ambition.

Emelie Forsberg is one of the great trail runners of the last two decades. In the early 2010s, Emelie was a dominant force on the racing circuit, accumulating wins and podium performances at some of the sport's most important races. Emelie was part of the early Salomon trail running team that, in many ways, ushered in the modern era of the sport and she became one of the most impactful athletes during that time. While she's remained around the community all along, Emelie de-prioritized running for several years to focus on starting and building a family. Now a mother of three, Emelie is ready to re-prioritize racing again, starting at Transvulcania a few weeks ago where she finished on the podium with a very strong third-place performance. Emelie has also been a key contributor to two ambitious startups in the sport, Moon Valley Nutrition and NNormal. This is her first appearance on the podcast.

Trzeci na świecie wynik w klasyfikacji medalowej mistrzostw świata i igrzysk olimpijskich, szósty - jeśli chodzi o liczbę zawodników w stosunku do liczby ludności. Hokej - jak piwo, realnie jest czymś na wskroś czeskim. Nawet bardziej niż piwo. Bo odkąd go na początku XX wieku entuzjaści sportu, równocześnie czescy patrioci sprowadzili nad Wełtawę, zawsze był jednym z ważniejszych narzędzi budowy wpierw narodowej a później państwowej tożsamości.W 127 odcinku Czechostacji, pierwszym z dwóch poświęconych hokejowi w Czechach, opowiada Barbara Żłobińska, entuzjastka hokeja, zarazem przewodniczka turystyczna po Pradze z grupy przewodników "Czeska Praga".Pierwsza część hokejowego dyptyku Czechostacji zdominowana jest przez historię. Dowiecie się z niej o muszkieterach z Chamonix, którzy chociaż przegrali wszystko, to i tak zdobyli wielkie uznanie. Jest o tym, jak młode czechosłowackie państwo szybko stało się poważnym, hokejowym graczem. I o tym - jak już po II wojnie światowej medalowej reprezentacji nie zniszczyła nawet tragiczna katastrofa lotnicza, ale zniszczyła paranoja stalinizmu.Jest o odwecie, jaki wzięli na lodzie hokeiści za marzenia o czeskiej wolności, rozjechane sowieckimi czołgami.I o tym, co dziś robią czescy półbogowie - czyli gwiazdy reprezentacji, która zdobyła złoto na igrzyskach w Nagano.***Jeśli podcast Wam się podoba i chcecie pomóc go rozwijać, możecie zostać Patronami lub Patronkami Czechostacji w serwisie Patronite.

Send us Fan MailMount Rainier is not the place where you get to switch your brain off and “just suffer.” The route moves, the glacier breathes, and a boot pack that looked safe two days ago can point straight at a crevasse. That's why Simon Kearns' new Mount Rainier round trip on-foot FKT, 3:43:50 car to car, stopped us in our tracks. Simon is an RMI Expeditions mountain guide and a rising name in mountain running and skyrunning, with speed records that include Mount Hood and a recent fastest time on Mailbox Peak. We talk through the real story behind the Rainier effort: a last-minute pivot away from a ski record attempt after snapping a race ski, the advantage and responsibility that comes with doing route work on the mountain, and how he stays sharp when the terrain demands both speed and precision. If you've ever wondered what “dialing a route” means on snow and ice, this conversation makes it concrete. We also get into how he trains around guiding logistics, why he works with Jackson Cole as a coach, and how he thinks about the balance between lonely FKT projects and the energy of racing. Along the way we swap notes on the Pacific Northwest volcano scene, European skyrunning culture in Chamonix, and what it looks like to pursue the AMGA and IFMGA guiding path while still chasing big athletic goals. If you like FKTs, alpine running, mountaineering strategy, and honest talk about risk, training, and motivation, hit play.

In this episode, Carl shares a story from a trip to Chamonix that challenged his assumptions about money, value, and how the world works. After a failed attempt to order eggs outside of breakfast hours, he's reminded that not everything is about paying more to get what you want—sometimes it's about craft, culture, and a completely different way of seeing things. Carl reflects on how travel and new environments can expand our perspective on money and life, and why those moments of friction might be some of the most valuable experiences we have.Want more from Carl?

Show Notes At this point in the season, a lot of runners start to question themselves. Races are getting closer. Training suddenly feels more exposed. Sessions that felt perfectly normal in winter now feel loaded with meaning. A flat run becomes evidence that something is wrong. A bad session suddenly feels significant. And yet, objectively, many runners are actually in a very good place. In this solo episode of the Pyllon Ultra Pod, I explore the strange gap between what's actually happening in training… and what it feels like is happening emotionally. Why confidence often lags behind fitness. Why uncertainty never fully disappears, even for experienced athletes. And why learning to tolerate that uncertainty might be one of the most important skills in endurance sport. I also reflect on my own training, conversations with athletes, old experiences in Chamonix, and the subtle psychological effects of comparison culture and social media. This episode is about trust. Trusting consistency. Trusting the process. And trusting that progress often feels far less dramatic than we expect it to. In this episode: Why runners often feel behind even when training is going well The difference between objective progress and subjective feeling Why confidence reacts faster than fitness The hidden psychological cost of comparison and constant visibility Why endurance sport demands commitment before certainty How experienced athletes learn to tolerate ambiguity rather than eliminate it Why patience and emotional steadiness matter more than most people realise And maybe most importantly: How to keep moving forward even when you don't fully trust where you are yet.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Olivier Bigini. Olivier est guide de haute montagne et secouriste au PGHM de Chamonix. Il a grandi à Laval, en Mayenne, il grimpait en salle depuis le collège, et son rêve c'était le GIGN. C'est en allant voir des potes dans les Alpes qu'il découvre les grandes voies, et à partir de là, tout s'enchaîne et va l'amener vers le PGHM.On parle de son quotidien au secours en montagne à Chamonix : comment se passe une alerte, ce qui se joue dans l'hélico, les caravanes de nuit quand la météo empêche de voler ou que les conditions sont trop mauvaises... Et puis on parle aussi pas mal d'escalade, de grandes voies, et de nuits en portaledge.

[…] Avant de partir skier sur les glaciers à Chamonix, la Salle 101 a quand même pris le temps de t’offrir une petite émission joyeuse et belle, où il est question de plusieurs choses d’intérêt, juge plutôt : La beauté, roman presque bien d’Aliya Whiteley. Golden Hill, roman drôlement bien de Francis Spufford. Aspects, roman […]

Cette semaine, je jase avec Audrée Lafrenière et Jeff Pelletier, un couple d'ultramarathoniens qui parcourt le monde pour courir en sentier et documenter leurs aventures caméra à la main. Originaire respectivement de Shawinigan et Vancouver, Audrée et Jeff ont récemment quitter leurs emplois de jour pour se consacrer à temps plein à la création de films, au coaching et à l'accompagnement de groupes de coureurs lors de voyages de trail. On parle de leur réalité bien particulière de courir tout en filmant, de leur passage remarqué au Québec Mega Trail en 2021 et de leurs récentes expériences à Moab, Badwater, Chamonix et Silverton. On discute aussi de leurs prochains défis : le Cocodona 250 en Arizona, l'UTCT 100 miles en Afrique du Sud et un projet hors sentier où ils troqueront les espadrilles pour des crampons afin de tenter l'ascension du Mont Blanc, le toit de l'Europe qui trône à 4 805 mètres d'altitude. Une conversation inspirante avec deux passionnés qui ont choisi de bâtir une vie d'aventure, de création et d'endurance aux quatre coins du monde.

Året er 1950. Fire franskmænd står for foden af Annapurna. Verdens 10'ende højeste bjerg. Missionen er at klatre den ubestegne gigant og dermed være de første mennesker i verden, der sætter fødderne på toppen af et bjerg, der er højere end 8000 meter. De magiske 8000 meter, som vi talt om før her i studiet.   Men de er pressede de fire mænd. For Frankrig er i knæ efter 2. verdenskrig. Selvforståelsen har fået sig et hårdt slag, for det var andre, der vandt krigen for dem. Nationen har brug for genoprejsning. Brug for noget at være stolte af. Brug for nogle modige helte. Holdet er sat sammen på en sådan måde, at der snart vil opstå problemer, for på den ene side har vi ekspeditionslederen Maurice Herzog; Manden fra overklassen i Paris. Og på den anden side har vi guiderne; Frankrigs tre bedste bjergbestigere. De er fra landet, fra bjergene, fra Chamonix.   Hvad der snart kommer til at udspille sig, bliver af mange betragtet som en af bjergbestigerhistoriens mest berømte, mest dramatiske og mest ikoniske fortællinger: For den handler om succes og ulykker, nationalisme, magt og penge, tro, klasse og uretfærdighed.  Medvirkende: Søren Smidt, medlem af Eventyrernes Klub, bjergbestiger og bjergguide og har gennem fire årtier besteget nogle af verdens højeste og sværeste bjerge, og har b.la. stået på toppen af Everest. Søren har stor viden om dansk og international bjergbestigning. Tilbage i 1991 var han leder af ”Den Danske Dhalagiri Ekspedition”. Det var Dhalagiri, verdens 7. højeste bjerg og nabobjerg til Annapurna, som den franske ekspedition med Herzog i spidsen først havde planlagt at bestige.

Rediffusion C'est un fait-divers qui s'est déroulé il y a un peu plus de 20 ans. La tuerie du Grand-Bornand, ou l'affaire Flactif, est l'un des drames familiaux les plus marquants du début du XXIe siècle. En avril 2003, dans un chalet de la petite station de ski coincée entre Chamonix et le lac d'Annecy, toute une famille a été décimée. Le père, la mère et leurs trois enfants âgés de moins de 10 ans. Le mobile du quintuple meurtre de la famille Flactif : la jalousie. Caroline Nogueras vous raconte les ressorts de ce fait-divers sordide, entre haine et mensonge.

On episode 319 of the Enormocast, I connect across the Atlantic with Irish/Swedish climber and guide, Freja Shannon. Freja split her youth between the west coast of Ireland and Sweden. Her first mountain sport was snowboarding which took her to Chamonix for a winter season when she was 19. But in that spring, she found … Continue reading "Enormocast 319: Freja Shannon – Moments of Glad Grace"

Eli Hemming: From Olympic Triathlon to Trail Ultras, UTMB Goals, and the Joshua Tree TraverseRyan Maguire sits down with Eli Hemming, former elite professional triathlete turned trail runner, for a wide-ranging conversation about reinvention, endurance, and what drives an athlete when the Olympic dream doesn't pan out the way you planned.Eli grew up in triathlon literally from birth. His mom was a triathlete and swim coach, and he was racing by age seven. What started as something social and skill-based eventually evolved into elite draft-legal Olympic-distance racing on the international circuit. He came within reach of the Tokyo Olympics before a broken foot derailed his qualification, and when he looked ahead at another four-year grind toward Paris, with all the travel and time away from family it would require, he decided it wasn't worth it.What came next surprised even him. A race in Buena Vista, Colorado cracked open a new world, and trail running took hold fast. He found a coach in David Roche, started stacking results, and eventually ended up toeing the line against Roche himself at the Broken Arrow Skyrace, a moment that captures just how quickly his trajectory shifted.Ryan and Eli also get into his relationship with his wife Tabor, their shared Adidas sponsorship, and a Joshua Tree traverse FKT attempt the two are chasing together. They dig into what makes Joshua Tree such a singular and strange place to run, and why the project matters to both of them personally.On the racing front, Eli's 2026 calendar includes Black Canyon 100K and a return to Desert Rats 100K, where Ryan first spotted him, to earn his way into UTMB week races. UTMB itself is the long-term goal, even though he's only raced up to 100K so far. His best trail performance to date? OCC during UTMB week in Chamonix, and he lights up talking about the atmosphere there.The conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of moving up in distance, overheating issues, a fried hypothalamus affecting heat regulation, fueling and hydration mistakes, and how his training philosophy is evolving around high volume without necessarily high mileage, muscular endurance work, and staying adaptable.

Aflevering 23 met de eerste vier Olympische Winterspelen!The primary focus of this podcast episode is the inaugural Olympic Winter Games held in 1924 in Chamonix, France, which emerged as a significant milestone in the history of winter sports. Initially conceived as a subsidiary program to the Summer Olympics in Paris, the games garnered such acclaim that they were retroactively labeled as the first Olympic Winter Games after the Norwegian objection was withdrawn. The episode delves into the notable achievements of athletes, particularly highlighting Norway's dominance in skiing and skating, while also recognizing the participation of other nations and the unique circumstances surrounding the event. We examine the statistics of participation, including the stark gender disparity among athletes, and reflect upon the evolving nature of the Winter Olympics as subsequent events unfolded. Furthermore, we discuss the broader implications of these games in the context of international sports and their legacy, setting the stage for future competitions. The exploration of the inaugural Olympic Winter Games, which took place in Chamonix in 1924, unveils a historical tapestry woven with both triumph and contention. Initially conceived as a supplementary event to the Summer Games in Paris, the Winter Games garnered such remarkable success that they were retroactively declared an official Olympic event, contingent upon the withdrawal of objections from Norway, which had its own winter sports competition. This episode meticulously details the geopolitical landscape of the time, highlighting how the absence of notable nations such as Russia, Germany, and the Netherlands shaped the competitive field. The narrative further delves into the performances, with Norway emerging as the dominant force, claiming the majority of the medals, while the dynamics of participation and competition are examined through the lens of the limited number of athletes and nations present. This foundational moment sets a precedent for future Winter Games, illustrating the evolution of winter sports on a global stage. In a reflective analysis of the first Olympic Winter Games, the conversation meanders through the complexities of sportsmanship and national pride, emphasizing the significance of Chamonix as a pivotal location in Olympic history. The episode elucidates the cultural ambiance of Chamonix, described as a fashionable winter resort, juxtaposed against the backdrop of sporting excellence and national representation. The dialogue also touches upon the peculiarities of the early Winter Games, such as the introduction of sports like figure skating and ice hockey, which had previously been included in the Summer Games. The intriguing case of Kylis Krevstem, who uniquely defended his title from the Summer Olympics, serves as a focal point of discussion, highlighting the interconnectedness of winter and summer sports in this nascent period of Olympic competition. Through a serious and analytical lens, this summary encapsulates the essence of the episode, articulating the multifaceted themes of competition, culture, and the socio-political undercurrents of the time. The examination of the evolution of the Olympic Winter Games from their inception in 1924 to subsequent iterations reveals a narrative rich in historical significance and transformation. The podcast delves into the intricacies of the Chamonix Games, the subsequent Winter Games in St. Moritz, and the implications of the Lake Placid Games, all while emphasizing the growth of participation and the increasing prominence of female athletes. Notably, the transition from a predominantly male-dominated field to the inclusion of women in competitive events is articulated with a focus on the societal shifts that accompanied these changes. The episode critically evaluates the implications of the American dominance in Lake Placid, where the competitive format sparked controversies regarding fairness...

Jeff Booth, Jack, and Nick explore a year-long paper linking Bitcoin to fundamental physics, framing Bitcoin blocks as discrete, quantized units of time. They connect concepts from quantum mechanics and entropy to Bitcoin's design, argue that its finite, discrete structure may be incompatible with quantum computing threats, and close with plans to experimentally test a Bitcoin miner's interaction with zero-point energy in a physics lab in Chamonix. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:46 - Bitcoin blocks as quantized units of time challenging the continuous-time assumption in modern physics 00:07:26 - The self-referential problem of time in physics and why time cannot be tested outside of itself 00:13:34 - Parallels between Bitcoin's mempool and quantum superposition as pre-measurement potential states 00:14:43 - How Bitcoin's UTXO model separates measurement from observation in a way physics cannot 00:31:13 - Bridging Boltzmann entropy and Shannon entropy through Bitcoin's finite state space and mining process 00:37:47 - Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap as a physical boundary analogous to Planck temperature 00:42:26 - Why Bitcoin's discrete time model may be fundamentally incompatible with quantum computing attacks 01:02:32 - Plans to test a Bitcoin miner's interaction with zero-point energy at a physics lab in Chamonix Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Telesná dokonalosť, česť a harmónia tela a ducha – ideál, ktorý sa z gréckej Olympie šíri od roku 776 pred Kristom. Práve tam majú svoj rodný list olympijské hry. Tie antické. Vydržali do 4. storočia nového letopočtu, lebo sa znepáčili rímskemu cisárovi Theodosiovi.Tie moderné si museli počkať až do roku 1896, kedy ich obnovil Pierre de Coubertin v Aténach. A špeciálne zimné do roku 1924, kedy sa konali prvé vo francúzskom ŠAMONÍ (Chamonix). Odvtedy bolo tých moderných 54, z toho zimných doteraz 24, naposledy v Pekingu.Už v horizonte hodín sa otvoria 25. zimné v talianskom Miláne. Metropola severu je už nejaký čas v zovretí bezpečnostných opatrení. Na takmer tritisíc športovcov tam bude dohliadať šesťtisíc príslušníkov bezpečnostných služieb. V slovenských farbách bude reprezentovať päťdesiatka športovcov.Ich výkony tam bude pre nás sledovať aj dvojica našich kolegov Ján Jasenka a Martin Tóth Vaňo z nášho sesterského portálu Šport.sk, s ktorými sa na tie 25. Zimné olympijské hry pozrieme bližšie.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.

Easy training is meant to feel restorative. So why does it so often leave us feeling uneasy? In this solo episode, I explore a feeling many runners carry quietly: guilt when training feels easy. The sense that if a run doesn't hurt, it doesn't quite count. That we haven't earned it. We unpack where that belief comes from, how endurance culture and comparison shape our relationship with effort, and why ease can feel undeserved even when we know it's essential. I also share personal reflections from my time training in Chamonix as a full-time athlete, and a moment on an easy run that turned into something else entirely, driven by ego and the need to prove commitment. This episode isn't about justifying easy days. It's about questioning why discomfort has become our proof of worth, and what it might mean to let training be enough without suffering. In this episode: Why easy training can feel emotionally uncomfortable How guilt creeps into rest and recovery The influence of comparison and endurance culture When effort becomes a measure of self-worth Reframing easy training as a skill, not a weakness If this episode resonates, take a moment on your next easy run to notice what comes up. Sometimes the most important work isn't visible.

In this episode, a single narrator takes you inside Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort as ski instructor Otto Ross celebrates his 100th birthday at Hampton Lodge. The story traces Ross’ path from skiing on homemade gear as a kid to teaching his first lessons in 1950, training in Chamonix, serving on ski patrol and the 1960 Winter Olympics honor guard, and helping build Mission Ridge’s ski school when the resort opened in 1966. Along the way, it highlights the impact he had on generations of skiers—including his role in adaptive skiing—and ends with Ross’ simple perspective on longevity and what he hopes stays the same at Mission Ridge.Support the show: https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Martin Rejmanek and his father Honza, a veteran 5-time Red Bull X-Alps competitor completed the full length of the 2003 Red Bull X-Alps course from the Dachstein to Monaco by tandem bivvy using only their wing and their feet this last year. Father and son completed the amazing journey in different segments over the course of eight summers, starting when Martin was just 8 years old. Martin is now seventeen and graduated to flying solo last year, taking on the full breadth of cross country flying, SIV training and becoming a completely independent pilot. He's flown solo from Annecy to Chamonix over the Aravis chain. He's flown at over 17,000 feet over Mt Whitney in the Sierras. Inspiring to say the least.

What happens when you strip away sleep, ego, and every external measure of success for 330 kilometers? Doug Mayer, founder of Run the Alps, former Car Talk producer, and three-time Tour de Géants finisher, has spent years trying to answer that question.  His new graphic novel, Last of the Giants, is his best attempt yet. In this episode, Doug joins Zoë and Brendan to talk about leaving a 25-year career in radio to build a trail running tour company in Chamonix, why he kept going back to one of the world's most grueling ultramarathons, and how he translated the experience of hallucinating in a snowstorm at 3am into a visual story. He shares what he learned from interviewing neuroscientists, a Buddhist monk who specializes in suffering, and the world's leading expert on pilgrimages, all in service of understanding why we do hard things and what we bring back from them. The conversation touches on "meeting the dragon" (a Buddhist concept for the moment when your usual tools stop working), the hero's journey, why Tour de Géants feels like "the PhD of ultrarunning," and how Doug accidentally started dating someone mid-race because her prefrontal cortex was too exhausted to know better.

C'est un fait-divers qui s'est déroulé il y a tout juste 20 ans. La tuerie du Grand-Bornand, ou l'affaire Flactif, est l'un des drames familiaux les plus marquants du début du XXIe siècle. En avril 2003, dans un chalet de la petite station de ski coincée entre Chamonix et le lac d'Annecy, toute une famille a été décimée. Le père, la mère et leurs trois enfants âgés de moins de 10 ans. Le mobile du quintuple meurtre de la famille Flactif : la jalousie. En 4 épisodes, Caroline Nogueras vous raconte les ressorts de ce fait-divers sordide, entre haine et mensonge.

The Fact: Those are Figure Skating jumps. In competitive Ice Dancing, athletes are actually forbidden from performing these types of multi-rotation jumps. It is a common mix-up, but the two are separate disciplines! Surfing as a “One-Off” Showcase The Claim: Andrew thought Surfing was a one-time showcase sport for the Summer Olympics, similar to breakdancing. The Fact: Unlike breakdancing (which was only for Paris 2024), Surfing is a permanent Olympic sport. It debuted in Tokyo 2020, appeared in Paris 2024, and is already confirmed for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. The History of Ski Jumping The Claim: Luke suggested that ski jumping started at the Calgary 1988 Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. The Fact: Ski jumping is actually one of the original Winter Olympic sports. It has been in every Winter Games since the very first one in 1924 (Chamonix, France)—64 years before the Calgary Games. When the Games “Staggered” (The 2-Year Gap) The Claim: Andrew and Luke discussed the Games being “staggered” (Summer and Winter in different years) starting after 1988. The Fact: The change actually happened after 1992. Both the Summer and Winter Games were held in 1992 (Albertville and Barcelona). The first time the Winter Olympics were held in their own separate year was Lillehammer 1994. Canada's 2010 Gold Medal Record The Claim: Luke estimated that Canada won about 10 gold medals in Vancouver 2010. The Fact: Canada actually won 14 gold medals in 2010. At the time, this set a world record for the most gold medals ever won by a single country at any Winter Olympics.
