Podcasts about summer olympics

Bomani Jones is joined by journalist Joel Anderson for a Time Machine Thursday edition of The Right Time, looking back at the cultural impact and unforgettable moments of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Bo and Joel examine how the games put a growing Atlanta on the global map and navigate the city's complex history as a cultural hub in the 1990s. They count down the most defining figures and legendary stories from the games, starting with Muhammad Ali's deeply symbolic lighting of the Olympic torch. They also revisit the jaw-dropping grit of gymnast Kerri Strug competing through a severe injury to win gold for the American team.1234Later, they dive into one of the era's great tragedies: how the feds and media rushed to judge security guard Richard Jewell following the Centennial Olympic Park bombing. Finally, they celebrate the incredible athletic achievements on the track, discussing the complicated legacy of long-jump icon Carl Lewis and the absolute dominance of Michael Johnson flying to a historic world record in his signature gold spikes . . .

The World Cup has come and gone, and for cities like Los Angeles, it was mostly a success. Officials saw the event as a test run for what's to come, the 2028 Summer Olympics, which is also set to take place in LA.

Thirty years later, we can still hear it: the roar of Atlanta's 1996 Summer Olympics, the crowd noise bouncing off concrete, and the way the city felt like the center of the world. We kick things off with the fun parts people love to remember, from landing tickets the old-school way to watching basketball in the Georgia Dome and soaking up the larger-than-life spectacle of the Centennial Olympic Games.Then we go behind the curtain. Jimmy shares what it was like working on Olympic-related audio and video production at a local studio, including a high-pressure edit of Mickey Hart's opening ceremony drum track that quietly shaped what millions saw on TV. We also talk about Muhammad Ali lighting the torch, John Williams' Olympic music, and why these moments hit so hard when you know the work and the stakes behind them.The heart of the conversation is personal and heavy: walking out of Centennial Olympic Park and hearing the 1:20 a.m. explosion that became the Olympic Park bombing. I tell my remembrance of the night, what we learned afterward, and why Richard Jewell's treatment in the media still feels like a warning label on modern headlines.We wrap with the show's signature blend of culture and music history: a jaw-dropping Empire State Building stunt documentary, a few sports oddities, plus rock talk on the Rolling Stones' new album Foreign Tongues.

Welcome to Day 2904 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2904– “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:51-62 Putnam Church Message – 06/14/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Snapshots From An Amazing Album.”   Last week's message was “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” in which we studied four snapshots from Christ's ministry. Today, we continue with our twenty-eighth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “A Face Like Flint.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:51-62, on page 1611 of your pew Bibles. Samaritan Opposition 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village. The Cost of Following Jesus 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today grateful for the steady, determined love of Jesus Christ. We confess that our hearts are often divided. We are distracted by comfort, delayed by excuses, wounded by rejection, and tempted to look back when You call us forward. Lord Jesus, as we watch You set Your face toward Jerusalem, help us see the depth of Your love and the seriousness of Your mission. Teach us what it means to follow You with unreserved sacrifice,>undivided devotion,> and unwavering commitment. Give us courage to press on. Give us grace to forgive. Give us faith to follow. May Your Word shape our hearts today. Amen.   Introduction: The Finish Line in View The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles gave us one of the most unforgettable marathon moments in Olympic history. Gabriela Andersen-Schiess entered the stadium near the end of the women's marathon, but something was terribly wrong. Heat exhaustion and dehydration had taken hold of her body. Her legs were stiff. Her movements were uneven. Her body looked like it might collapse at any step. Doctors moved toward her, but she waved them off because if they helped her, she would be disqualified. She had already run more than twenty-six miles. Only a few hundred meters remained. So she kept moving. / Step by painful step. / Lean, stagger, recover. / Another step. / Another step. / Another step. For nearly six agonizing minutes, she willed herself forward until she crossed the finish line and collapsed into medical care. What stayed with people was not that she won the race. She did not. What stayed with people was her determination. The finish line had become her single focus. She had come too far to quit. In Luke 9:51, Luke brings us to a major turning point in his Gospel. Jesus has healed the sick, calmed the storm, cast out demons, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, revealed His glory on the mountain, and taught His disciples what the Kingdom of God is like. / But now the story turns. Luke says, “As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.”  That phrase — “Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem,” — is powerful. It draws from the Old Testament image in Isaiah 50:7, where the Servant of the Lord says, “I have set my face like flint.” Flint is a hard stone. It does not bend easily. It is not soft clay. It is firm, sharp, and unyielding. Jesus set His face like flint toward Jerusalem. / Why Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem was where betrayal waited. Jerusalem was where rejection waited. Jerusalem was where false trials waited. Jerusalem was where the cross waited. Jerusalem was where the tomb waited. But Jerusalem was also where resurrection would break the power of death. Jerusalem was where salvation would be accomplished. From this point forward in Luke's Gospel, the cross is always in the background. Every conversation, every parable, every miracle, every encounter is moving Jesus closer to the place where He will give His life for the sins of the world. The theme of this passage is simple| but demanding: Jesus pressed on toward the cross, and He calls His followers to press on after Him. Here are the four truths that we can glean from today's passage, as found in your bulletin insert on the side ‘A Face Like Flint.' Main Point 1: Jesus Set His Face Toward the Father's Mission Luke tells us that the time was approaching for Jesus to be taken up. That points beyond the cross, beyond the grave, beyond the resurrection, all the way to His ascension. Jesus knew the whole journey. He was not stumbling into Jerusalem unaware. He was not trapped by circumstances. He was not surprised by the hostility waiting there. He was not swept along by political events beyond His control. Jesus knew where He was going. And He went anyway. That is love. In the previous message, “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” we saw Jesus tell His disciples again that He would be handed over into the hands of men. They did not understand. They were afraid to ask. But Jesus understood fully. He knew the cost before He paid it. / Now, He begins the journey. This is the beginning of what many Bible students call Luke's “travel section.” From Luke 9:51 through much of chapter 19, Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem. Luke will remind us again and again that Jesus is on the way. He is not He is not He is not He is pressing on.     Ancient Context: The Servant With a Flint Face Isaiah 50 gives us the background. The Servant of the Lord says He gave His back to those who struck Him, / His cheeks to those who pulled out His beard, / and His face to humiliation and spitting. Then He says, “Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone.” That is the spirit of Luke 9:51. Jesus knew humiliation was coming. / He knew suffering was coming. / He knew the cross was coming. / Yet He set His face like flint. This is not stubbornness. Stubbornness can be foolish. This is holy resolve. This is obedience anchored in the Father's will. Object Lesson: Flint and Clay Hold two objects: a piece of soft clay and a slate. Clay can be pressed, shaped, bent, and changed by almost any outside force. But flint is firm. It holds its edge.

This Day in Legal History: The Fourteenth Amendment Is RatifiedOn July 9, 1868, South Carolina and Louisiana became the final two states needed to push the Fourteenth Amendment over the three-quarters threshold, and with their votes the amendment was ratified into the Constitution. It is, by almost any measure, the most consequential of the Reconstruction amendments and arguably the most important addition to the Constitution since the Bill of Rights.The amendment was written to answer the central question left open by the Civil War and the abolition of slavery: what did freedom actually mean, and who was entitled to it? Its first section does an enormous amount of work in a single sentence. It establishes birthright citizenship—declaring that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of both the nation and their state. It then forbids any state from abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens, from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, and from denying any person the equal protection of the laws. Those three clauses—privileges or immunities, due process, and equal protection—became the constitutional text on which vast stretches of modern American law are built.The historical purpose was direct. The framers of the amendment, led in the House by John Bingham, wanted to overrule Dred Scott, which had held that Black Americans could not be citizens, and to constitutionalize the civil rights protections Congress had already tried to enact by statute—putting them beyond the reach of any future hostile Congress or Southern legislature. They understood that emancipation without citizenship and equal protection would be a hollow victory, and they wrote a guarantee that applied against the states, not just the federal government.The significance of July 9, 1868 is hard to overstate, because so much of what we argue about today runs directly through this text. The Equal Protection Clause is the basis of Brown v. Board of Education and school desegregation, of Loving v. Virginia striking down bans on interracial marriage, and of Obergefell recognizing marriage equality. The Due Process Clause became the vehicle for incorporating most of the Bill of Rights against the states, so that free speech, free exercise, and protections for the criminally accused bind state governments too. And the Citizenship Clause is the reason that birthright citizenship is a constitutional guarantee rather than a policy preference—as the Supreme Court reaffirmed just this past term. When you hear debates about who counts as a citizen, what process the government owes a person before it takes something from them, or whether a law treats people equally, you are hearing an argument about the amendment ratified on this date.A federal judge in Florida has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to keep giving four Republican-led states—Florida, Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio—access to a federal database those states use to check whether registered voters are citizens. The order, from U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II in Pensacola, lets the states continue using the system while the underlying legal fight plays out.The database is called SAVE—Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements—a federal system historically used to verify immigration status for benefits. After a revamp last year, it became far more powerful for election purposes: users could search many records at once, and it exposed individuals' Social Security numbers. Several Republican-led states began comparing their voter rolls against SAVE and canceling the registrations of people the database flagged as noncitizens. The problem is what happens when the database is wrong or out of date—people who are in fact citizens can get flagged and purged.That risk is exactly why this ruling sits in tension with another one. Just weeks earlier, on June 22, a different federal judge in Washington, D.C., restricted broader use of the database, warning that relying on it could result in eligible voters being wrongly stripped from the rolls. So you now have two federal courts pointing in different directions—one worried about wrongful purges and limiting the database's use, and one ordering DHS to keep the spigot open for these four states. When trial courts split like this, the disagreement typically has to be resolved higher up, and it means the rules can differ depending on which state and which courtroom you're standing in.The significance is that this is a live fight over the machinery of voter-roll maintenance heading into a midterm election year. There's a genuine and legitimate interest in keeping noncitizens off the voter rolls—but there's an equally real risk that a blunt, error-prone matching process disenfranchises actual citizens who then have to fight to get back on. This ruling tilts toward giving states the verification tool; the D.C. ruling tilts toward protecting against wrongful removals. Watch the appellate courts, because the boundary between list maintenance and unlawful voter purging is about to get drawn more sharply.US judge orders four states be given access to citizenship data for voter checks | ReutersIn a closely related development, the Justice Department has sent letters to all fifty states warning that state and local election officials could face criminal prosecution if they allow noncitizens to remain on their voter rolls. The letters, from Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the Department's Civil Rights Division, give officials just five days to respond with a plan to comply. The federal government does have statutes on the books aimed at protecting the integrity of elections and barring noncitizens from voting, and the letters invoke several of them. But the ordinary way these laws work is that you prosecute a person who actually votes illegally, or who knowingly facilitates fraud. What's unusual here is the target: the letters put state and local election administrators—the people who maintain the rolls—on notice that they personally could be charged. That reframes routine election administration as potential criminal exposure for the officials doing it.Think about the position this puts an election official in. Maintaining accurate voter rolls is genuinely hard—people move, die, naturalize, and occasionally register in error—and every state already has processes for it. Now imagine being told by the U.S. Department of Justice that if the federal government later decides your rolls were inadequate, you could be a criminal defendant, and you have five days to send in a compliance plan. Even if few or no prosecutions ever materialize, the threat itself is designed to change behavior—to push officials toward more aggressive purging out of fear of personal liability. Critics call that coercion; the Department frames it as enforcement.The significance is about federal pressure on the decentralized American election system. Elections in this country are run by states and localities, deliberately, so that no single national authority controls the vote. Democratic officials in states like Michigan pushed back hard, noting they've already taken extensive steps to ensure only eligible voters can vote. The letters, arriving alongside the SAVE database fight, are part of a coordinated push ahead of the midterms, and they raise a serious question about the line between legitimate federal enforcement of election laws and using the threat of prosecution to lean on the officials who administer them.US Justice Department tells state officials they could be prosecuted over noncitizen voting | ReutersAnd in a very different kind of case, a former Olympic canoe racer, David Hearn, pleaded not guilty in D.C. Superior Court to a felony charge of deliberately damaging the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Hearn, who is 67 and competed in three Summer Olympics, entered his plea through an attorney at his first court appearance, and his lawyers have described the prosecution as an abuse of power built on what they call a “concocted narrative.”The Reflecting Pool sits on the National Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and had just undergone a roughly $16 million renovation. Hearn has said he was stopped by National Guard troops and U.S. Park Police and detained for about five hours after pausing at the pool during a 64-mile bike ride in June. He was later indicted on a single felony count of property destruction. The top federal prosecutor for D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, said six other people were arrested on misdemeanor charges connected to damage at the same site.The legal question worth watching is the gap between the charge and the conduct. Property-destruction law generally requires proof that the defendant intentionally caused the damage, and a felony charge usually turns on the dollar value of that damage. Hearn's defense is essentially that the government has manufactured intent and seriousness out of an innocent encounter—that a man pausing on a bike ride has been turned into a felony defendant. The judge apparently agreed there was little flight or danger risk: Hearn was released without court supervision pending an August 5 status hearing, which tells you something about how the court currently views the threat he poses.The significance here is less about one damaged pool and more about the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Deciding whom to charge, and whether to charge a felony versus a misdemeanor versus nothing at all, is one of the most powerful and least reviewable choices in the legal system. When critics call a prosecution politically motivated or an abuse of power, they're pointing at that discretion. Whether this case is a legitimate property-crime prosecution (it isn't) or an overreach (it is) is exactly what the coming proceedings will test—and it's a useful reminder that the same charging power that holds genuine wrongdoers accountable can also be aimed in ways that raise real fairness concerns.Former US Olympian pleads not guilty in Reflecting Pool vandalism case | Reuters This is a public episode.

It's been 30 years since a back pack bomb rocked the Summer Olympics in Atlanta killing one person and injuring over 100 others. The bomb had been left under a bench in the middle of Centennial Olympic Park on the eighth day of the games. Security Guard Richard Jewell discovered the bomb and helped to start clear the area before it went off. Jewel was hailed a hero until he became the number one suspect.In this previously aired episode of History of the 90s, host Kathy Kenzora looks back at the tragedy that struck the 100th games and the police investigation that followed.

The Los Angeles primary elections, held June 2, 2026, were the source of great debate and not a few surprises. In this episode, David Myers, in his farewell episode as founding host of The History-Policy Podcast,  interviews longtime LA public official and frequent LCHP collaborator Zev Yaroslavsky to discuss what the primary elections tell us about California's political climate and what the future might hold. The discussion begins with Zev's observation that inflation, cost of living, and the high price of gasoline have led to discontent throughout California. This sense of frustration played out in the LA primaries, with Republican candidate Steve Hilton advancing to the final two of the California governor's race. Meanwhile, Xavier Becerra set himself apart by refraining from vitriolic attacks on other candidates. Whether Becerra or Hilton can serve as California's chief executive once elected, rather than simply as a legislator, remains to be seen. At the local level, incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass faces surprisingly stiff competition from Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose platform drew attention to the failures, real or perceived, of Bass's tenure. As the general election approaches and preparations for the Summer Olympics in 2028 continue, the trajectory of LA and California overall is very much in question.Read Sueño Incomplete: A History of the Latino Wealth Gap in the United States.Read The Making of a Crisis: A History of Homelessness in Los AngelesZev Yaroslavsky is the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the Luskin School of Public Affairs. He served as LA City Council Member from 1975 to 1994, and as a member of the LA County Board of Supervisors from 1994 to 2014. In 2023, Zev released a memoir, Zev's Los Angeles: From Boyle Heights to the Halls of Power, in which he reflected on his long career in politics. 

rWotD Episode 3340: J. J. Isler Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Friday, 26 June 2026, is J. J. Isler.Jennifer J. Isler (born December 1, 1963), best known as J. J. Isler and also known by her maiden name of J. J. Fetter, is an American yachtswoman. She is a two-time Olympic medalist and a world sailing champion. She was a starting helmsman in the 1995 America's Cup races. A pioneer in the sport of women's sailing, in 2005 she was the first woman inducted into the Sailing World Hall of Fame and in 2015, she was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame.She was born into a sailing family, the youngest of three children of Jane and Tom Fetter; he is a former commodore of San Diego Yacht Club. She began sailing Sabots when she was 7 years old. She learned to sail and race in the Juniors program at San Diego Yacht Club, sailing mostly in Sabots. An intense competitor, she disliked the fact that girls and boys were viewed differently in sailing. "The junior regattas were open to everyone, but there was a winner's trophy and a 'first girls' trophy," she recalled recently. "I always wanted just to be first, and hand that other trophy off as 'the first boy trophy'. … I finished second, third and fourth in the Sabot Nationals, but never won, meaning I was always getting that 'first girl' trophy, and I hated it." At the time, many of the West Coast's leading yacht clubs didn't even have facilities for female sailors. She once had to dress for a race in a yacht's club's parking lot.Her horizons expanded in high school, when she started racing boats other than Sabots, particularly 420s. She was recruited by several colleges, and chose Yale because they promised her she could compete on the varsity team, not just the women's team. At Yale she was the first woman captain of the sailing team.

fWotD Episode 3337: Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 24 June 2026, is Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games.Vatican City competed as guests at the 2022 Mediterranean Games, which were held in Oran, Algeria, from 25 June to 6 July 2022. The nation's appearance at these games marked its debut in the Mediterranean Games, and its debut in any international multi-sport event. The delegation consisted of one athlete, long-distance runner Sara Carnicelli, and two officials, undersecretary of the Dicastery for Culture and Education Melchor Sánchez de Toca Alameda and coach and technical director of Vatican Athletics Claudio Carmosino. Middle-distance runner Simone Adamoli was supposed to join the delegation but withdrew before the Games had started.In 2019, the federation Vatican Athletics had been established by an agreement between the Vatican and the Italian Olympic Committee, to enable possible participation at international sporting tournaments such as the Summer Olympics and Mediterranean Games. Plans to compete at the 2021 Games of the Small States of Europe were halted although the federation was later invited by the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Mediterranean Games to send a guest delegation. There, Carnicelli competed in the women's half marathon and unofficially placed ninth in the event.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:28 UTC on Wednesday, 24 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Vatican City at the 2022 Mediterranean Games on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

As a country, we're living longer than ever before. The average life expectancy in the United States is now 79 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But how are we doing when we get to our golden years? In Ohio, the answer is not necessarily the best, according to the latest America's Health Rankings Senior Report. This study from The United Health Foundation ranked Ohio 36th in the country in overall health for seniors. Some major concerns include suicide rates, drug related deaths, poverty and food insecurity concerns and levels of physical activity. When you add in concerns about mental function and emotional wellbeing, there's a lot to think about as we age. On Tuesday's edition of the "Sound of Ideas," we're looking at what we can do in our younger years to try to maintain our mental, emotional and physical health for as long as our bodies will let us. Guests: - Gary Grosel, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of Ohio - Lester Carney, age 92, Olympic athlete who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy - Robert Bermel, M.D., Staff Neurologist, Neurological Institute's Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Cleveland Clinic - Roopa Anmolsingh, M.D., Lead Geriatrician for Community Programs, Cleveland Clinic

On this week's episode of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Podcast, host Zach Burke takes a journey back in time to celebrate one of the most dominant, elegant, and classy sprinters to ever step onto a track—1960 TSHOF inductee Bobby Morrow! Joining the show is Ron Hadfield, who brings his rich perspective as the editor emeritus, senior writer, and university historian for Abilene Christian University.Ron frames the conversation by looking ahead to the upcoming 70th anniversary of the 1956 Summer Olympic Games in Melbourne, where Morrow captured worldwide fame by winning three gold medals. We explore Bobby's humble beginnings as the son of a cotton and carrot farmer in San Benito, Texas, where his father Floyd used to help the local high school coach prepare the dirt and cinder tracks. Ron shares how Bobby's blinding speed was first discovered on the high school football field, leading him to state titles and catching the attention of top track programs nationwide—ultimately choosing Abilene Christian over the University of Texas to stay close to his family, his faith, and legendary sprint coach Oliver Jackson.The conversation dives deep into the mind-boggling dominance of Bobby's collegiate career, where he compiled a staggering 80 wins against just 8 losses, including a flawless 37-0 streak in the 100 meters. We revisit the magic of 1956, the first summer games televised live into homes, where Morrow beat out the likes of Mickey Mantle, Don Larsen, and the Heisman Trophy winner to be named Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Ron shares a wonderful testament to Bobby's innate humility, highlighting a classic quote from when he was named one of the "Nine Greatest Living Americans" alongside Norman Rockwell and Cecil B. DeMille, bashfully stating he just couldn't believe all of this came from his mom giving him two fast legs.Finally, Ron pulls back the curtain on the heartbreak of the 1960 Rome Olympics. After graduating in 1958, Bobby had to train and travel entirely on his own, and a poorly timed injury during the Olympic trials left him off the roster. Yet, in a testament to his class, Morrow still trained with the team, regularly out-sprinted the qualifiers in practice, and handled the ultimate rejection at the airport with pure grace. We wrap up by reflecting on the massive, lasting footprint Morrow left on ACU—a legacy that helped the program secure Texas Monthly's title of the "Texas Sports Dynasty of the 20th Century."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

pWotD Episode 3333: Lionel Messi Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 707,855 views on Wednesday, 17 June 2026 our article of the day is Lionel Messi.Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi (born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both the Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and the Argentina national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, Messi has set numerous records for individual accolades won throughout his professional footballing career, including eight Ballons d'Or, six European Golden Shoes, and eight times being named the world's best player by FIFA. In 2025, he was named the All Time Men's World Best Player by the IFFHS. Messi is the most decorated player in the history of professional football, having won 46 team trophies. His records include most goals in a calendar year (91), most goals for a single club (672 for Barcelona), most goals in La Liga (474), tied most goals scored in the FIFA World Cup (16), and most assists in international football (61). Messi has scored over 910 senior career goals and provided over 410 assists for club and country, resulting in over 1,320 goal contributions—the highest total in the sport's history.Messi made his competitive debut for Barcelona at age 17 in October 2004. He gradually established himself as an integral player for the club, and during his first uninterrupted season in 2008–09 he helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football. This resulted in Messi winning the first of four consecutive Ballon d'Ors, and by the 2011–12 season he had set the European record for most goals in a season and established himself as Barcelona's all-time top scorer. During the 2014–15 season, where he became the all-time top scorer in La Liga, he led Barcelona to a historic second treble, earning his fifth Ballon d'Or. Messi was named Barcelona's captain in 2018. While playing for the club, he won a club-record 34 trophies, including ten La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues. Financial difficulties at Barcelona led Messi to depart in August 2021 and sign with Paris Saint-Germain, where he won the Ligue 1 title during both of his seasons there. He joined the Major League Soccer club Inter Miami in July 2023, and led them to their first MLS Cup victory in 2025, while also winning back-to-back league MVP awards in 2024 and 2025.An Argentine international, Messi is the national team's all-time leading goalscorer and most-capped player. Several years after his senior debut in 2005, he won the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Assuming captaincy in 2011, he led Argentina to three consecutive finals in the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa América and the Copa América Centenario, all of which they lost. After announcing his retirement from international football in 2016, he returned to help Argentina qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Messi was central to ending Argentina's 28-year trophy drought by winning the 2021 Copa América. In 2022, he led Argentina to a World Cup victory, the country's first in 36 years. Messi's third major international title arrived when Argentina won the 2024 Copa América.Messi has endorsed the sportswear company Adidas since 2006. He was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2019 and 2022, and was among Time's 100 most influential people in the world in 2011, 2012, and 2023. In 2020 and 2023, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year, the first team-sport athlete to win the award. In 2020, Messi was named to the Ballon d'Or Dream Team and became the second footballer and second team-sport athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings. In 2026, Messi appeared on the World's Billionaires list for the first time at $1.1B net worth. Following his arrival and impact on football in the United States, Messi was named Time's Athlete of the Year in 2023, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US president Joe Biden in 2025.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 12:39 UTC on Thursday, 18 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Lionel Messi on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Been watching footage of yesterday's storms that caused a ton of damage in Horicon & Lomira, WI. More rain & thunderstorms in our area today, but much cooler with a high of just 71° expected. Also in the news this morning, an Air Canada pilot flew hundreds of flights over almost 20 years with a fake license, actor Tyler Mane is battling breast cancer, Coors Light introduces the TALLER boy for the upcoming World Cup, and a Delta flight had to be diverted after a passenger slapped a flight attendant on the ass. In sports, the Brewers dropped another one to the A's yesterday, the Knicks came all the way back from a 27-point deficit at halftime last night to beat the Spurs & go up 3-1 in the NBA Finals, the NHL Stanley Cup final continues tonight on ABC, Patrick Mahomes is getting PAID, and a Rams player is arrested for felony domestic assault. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed the hold-up for a "Home Improvement" reboot. Plus, the trailer for the Green Day road-trip movie dropped yesterday. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Jean's question for Brian was: " " And Brian's question for Jean was: " " Office Cora also joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. According to a new survey, 5% of Americans have never played Monopoly! Elsewhere in sports, a bunch of World Cup stuff as the games get started later today. We talked about the schedule, Somali ref that was denied entry into the US, and the favorites to win the tournament. Great story out of Milwaukee about a garbage man who rescued a starving dog. And massive efforts are underway to clean up the trash in the ocean as Los Angeles gets ready to host the Summer Olympics in 2028.

On todays episode of Would You Rather Wednesday the guys discuss: Mack Hollins or Kayshon Boutte, World Cup game or Summer Olympics, and more.

It's the 25th anniversary of Doctor Who, and for the occasion the BBC has assembled Nazis, Cybermen, time-traveling aristocrats, and a mysterious statue made of something that shouldn't exist. Add a comet, multiple centuries, and the Doctor's increasingly cryptic hints about his own past, and you've got an episode that John and Jim can't quite agree on. Production Under Pressure John Nathan Turner wanted this as the season opener for maximum impact, but the Summer Olympics threw everything into chaos. More trouble: they found asbestos in the studio. No interior TARDIS scenes meant everything had to go on location—Windsor Castle (well, a substitute), 17th-century England, and actual museums. The budget request for a proper 25th-anniversary celebration? Denied by BBC One's controller, who wasn't even a fan of the show. Tensions on set ran high, mirroring Colin Baker's era. The Idea That Started It All Kevin Clark walked into pitch meetings with no idea what to pitch. Sat down with JNT and Andrew Cartmell, and when asked what he had, he said: "Doctor Who is God." (They asked him to leave God out of it.) His concept became a story about a cosmic object, living space metal, and something called Validium. The Cybermen? Added last-minute by JNT as a twist to make it the anniversary story. Guest Stars and Hidden Layers Fiona Walker returns nearly 25 years after "The Keys of Marinus." Leslie French, who once auditioned to play the First Doctor, appears as a mathematician. Anton Differing took the Nazi role mainly to catch Wimbledon on London television. A celebrated jazz musician leads the band and gets screen time. The behind-the-sofa consensus: this beats Happiness Patrol. The Cybermen get one final classic appearance before the costumes literally fall apart (they were taped together and spray-painted silver). Where the Story Divides One host sees excellent location work, great chemistry between the leads, well-choreographed action, and "good bonkers" energy. The other finds forced humor, a clumsy attempt to deepen the Doctor's mystery, misogynistic moments, and stereotypical American characters that undermine the tone. The final scene—with Ace asking a question and the Doctor refusing to answer—creates genuine friction neither host expected. An Anniversary That Isn't Quite One For a 25th-anniversary episode, it's surprisingly light on callbacks. The real tribute to Doctor Who's past is the Cybermen themselves—silver, returning, and defeated in ways that feel... almost accidental? Multiple plot threads intersect (the Nazis, the magical artifact, the time-jumping aristocrat, the alien invaders), and whether they mesh or clash depends entirely on your tolerance for chaotic storytelling. Coming Up Next: Monday (Patreon Early): Patreon Exclusive 174 with music, Memory TARDIS, and three-part comic "Invaders from Gantac" by Alan Grant. Following Wednesday (Main Feed): Season 25 finale with "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" (four parts). John promises it's "right up his alley."

The FIFA 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, is the largest in history and first to be co-organized by three countries. Yet for international fans, ever stricter U.S. immigration admissions and enforcement policies have introduced layers of uncertainty around whether they can attend at all. In this episode of World of Migration, host Ariel G. Ruiz Soto speaks with veteran sports journalist Albert Samaha about the World Cup and what its lessons might hold for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. They discuss how travel restrictions could affect fans and players from countries including Iran, Haiti, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire, fears of immigration enforcement on attendance, and what the World Cup experience may reveal ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

We've finished being intercalated and can now return to regularly scheduled programming in our Games reviews as we head back to jolly old England for everything related to the 1908 London Summer Olympic Games! How excited are we to talk about British domination for once rather than American dominance, even if it was a little bit rigged? What about Canada's strong showing and how it cemented their place in Olympic history? And how does Ben feel about Australia competing alongside New Zealand, even if Australia did most of the heavy lifting? We also dive into why figure skating was part of the Summer Olympics, try to figure out just what the hell Jeu de paume is, and revisit another fascinating marathon once again. It's another fascinating episode packed with stories, debates, and discoveries, so get listening!

It is not an overstatement to say that, Tommy Lasorda was the most important figure in the Dodgers organization since Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson. He gave his life to the franchise, speaking endlessly about "Bleeding Dodgers Blue" and talking to the "Big Dodger In The Sky". For almost 80 years, he was the face of Dodgers baseball and the embodiment of Dodgers Blue and their pristine whites. As a manager for the team. he won 1,599 games, the 22nd most victories by a Major League manager, 4 National League pennants, 2 World Championships, as well as a Gold Medal in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games held in Sydney, Australia. This week we delve into the baseball journey of the Hall Of Fame manager, and one of baseball's greatest ambassadors of the game in the history of the sport. #ThomasCharlesLasorda #SabatinoLasorda #CarmellaLasorda #JoanLasorda #BrooklynDodgers #LosAngelesDodgers #SteveGarvey #RonCey #BillRussell #DustyBaker #SandyKoufax #NewYorkYankees #KirkGibson

Another steamy one today with highs near 90° again! Make sure you stay hydrated and keep an eye on your pets/kids/old people in the sun. Hump Day is already here thanks to the short work week, and in the news this morning, a wild video showing a meteor crashing to earth behind an erupting volcano in the Phillipines, a Mr. Rogers stamp is getting reissued by the USPS this year, RFK Jr. gets bitten by a couple of mating snakes after he barehands them, Russell Crowe has a tense exchange with some autograph hounds, and hackers are going after airline loyalty rewards. In sports, the Brewers blanked the Cardinals yesterday…but Pat Murphy is upset with Abner Uribe for his "D-X" crotch chop, the Thunder beat the Spurs last night, the Vegas Golden Knights completed the sweep of the Colorado Avalanche to advance to the Stanley Cup finals, and the Packers' Josh Jacobs gets arrested for domestic assault. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight…and the latest workout craze, which is apparently a blend of chess….and boxing? This week's edition of "One Gotta Go Wednesday" was about breakfast foods. More specifically, the sweet kind. We had to choose between waffles, pancakes, French toast, & cinnamon buns. Heroic move by an off-duty firefighter who rescued a woman trapped in a her car as it began to submerge in dangers flood water, and thousands of volunteers in China are trying to plant 1 million trees to battle against desertification. Elsewhere in sports, Brendan Sorsby's appeal to the NCAA gets denied, Austin Hill will be starting in Kyle Busch's car at Nashville this weekend, and the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will now include a "Ninja Warrior" version of the Pentathlon. A story we wanted to discuss yesterday but ran out of time…check out this tennis player who REALLY had to go during a match. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a kid getting bit by a shark that he was trying to bring on board the boat he was in, a guy who destroyed some pickleball courts after suffering an injury while playing pickleball that apparently "ruined his summer", a blind guy in Chicago is suing a used car dealership after they changed his interest rate AFTER he signed some paperwork, and an A.I. startup that's looking to pay people to masturbate.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At just 22 years of age, Jesse Moore is already rewriting the history books for Australian gymnastics.At the 2025 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Jakarta, Moore delivered the performance of his career, finishing 11th in the men's all-around final — the highest placing ever achieved by an Australian male gymnast at the World Championships. Twelve months earlier, at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Jesse stepped onto the sport's biggest stage and qualified for the all-around final against the very best gymnasts in the world. Competing with composure and confidence, he became the first Australian male gymnast since London 2012 to reach an Olympic all-around final, ultimately finishing 21st overall. For a country still emerging in the global gymnastics landscape, Moore's rise represents something bigger than individual success. It signals a new era for Australian men's artistic gymnastics.Now, with 2032 Summer Olympics on the horizon, the opportunity ahead is enormous.For Australian athletes, a home Olympic Games represents more than competition. It brings funding, exposure, belief, and the chance to inspire an entire generation. And for Jesse Moore, Brisbane 2032 is not simply a dream in the distance — it is a target.Already in the opening months of the 2026 World Cup season, Moore has continued building momentum, winning multiple medals internationally and proving he belongs among the sport's elite. His performances have showcased not only technical excellence, but also the resilience and maturity that define world-class athletes.This year, Jesse is chasing a top-10 finish at the World Championships in Rotterdam. Beyond that lies another major opportunity: the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where he hopes to challenge the best gymnasts from across the Commonwealth and contend for medals on one of the biggest stages of his career.This is his story.

fWotD Episode 3306: Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Team event Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 24 May 2026, is Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Team event.The figure skating team event at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held between 4 and 7 February at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China. The team event consisted of competitions in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters and teams earned points based on their placements in each event, and the medalists were determined based on the total points earned. The team representing the Russian Olympic Committee originally finished in first place, while the team from the United States finished second, and the Japanese team finished third. However, when it was revealed that a positive test confirming the presence of a banned substance was received from a sample submitted by Kamila Valieva of Russia, the medal ceremony was postponed. After nearly two years of litigation, Valieva's scores were stricken and the newly tabulated results placed the American team first, the Japanese team second, and the Russian team third. The American and Japanese teams finally received their medals at a ceremony held at the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Sunday, 24 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Team event on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

GymCastic Live: Featuring Chae CampbellReplay tickets available → Get tickets here SAM OLDHAM INTERVIEW British gymnastics legend Sam Oldham is here, and yes, we're going to talk about everything from winning Great Britain's historic (first in 100 years) bronze medal at the London Olympics that changed everything for British Gymnastics, to the chaos, comedy, and emotional whiplash of elite gymnastics life. Sam brings the rare combination of competition accolades, deep gym nerd-student credentials, and the kind of honesty about athlete culture that makes you gasp-laugh and then immediately need a therapy session. We discuss the pressure cooker of British Gymnastics, his friendship and love for his coach, surviving weight-obsessed culture he swore he would never succumb to, and being followed by a Japanese gymnastics spy!

Chappell Roan recently faced backlash amid online chat that falsely claimed her bodyguard left a young fan in tears. But reports now suggest the entire online drama could have been driven by bots programmed to spread misinformation.The BBC's disinformation reporter Jacqui Wakefield explains what bots are, how they work, and what the people who operate them stand to gain. State actors and governments have been linked to specific bot campaigns in the past. BBC Monitoring's Veronika Malinboym looks at some of the bot activity linked to Russia, including a campaign to undermine the Summer Olympics in Paris by spreading misinformation about a bed bugs outbreak.

Dia Bondi is the Founder, Communications Coach, and Advisor at Dia Bondi Communications, where she works with senior leaders, founders, and other professionals to help them identify and lead with their voice. With over 20 years of experience as a leadership communications coach, she has worked with world-class brands like Intel, Mozilla, Dropbox, and Salesforce. Dia helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics and has coached world leaders at United Nations gatherings. She is also the author of Ask Like An Auctioneer, which aims to empower one million women to ask for more and get it. In this episode… Many women professionals struggle with asking for what they truly want, often fearing rejection, seeming too aggressive, or being seen as "not worth it." This hesitation limits earning potential and stifles personal and professional growth. If making bold requests feels intimidating or unrealistic, how can leaders and entrepreneurs shift their mindset to embrace their value and move confidently toward their goals? According to communications expert and auctioneer Dia Bondi, the key lies in understanding the difference between value and worth and designing requests that challenge your comfort zone. By leveraging the "zone of freaking out" (ZOFO) concept, women can view fear as a sign of stepping into new potential. Dia suggests creating a clear "ask plan," which includes setting a tangible goal, identifying bold moves to reach it, and preparing for rejection as an obstacle rather than a failure. By separating your worth from the outcomes of an ask, you can make substantial requests to receive more. In this week's episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston chats with Dia Bondi, the Founder, Communications Coach, and Advisor at Dia Bondi Communications, about how to make requests to achieve your goals. Dia discusses the difference between price and worth, her core belief, and leadership lessons learned from auctioneering.

The U.S. Center for SafeSport was created in 2017 by the U.S. Congress in the wake of the Larry Nasser scandal to address abuse and misconduct in American Olympic and Paralympic sports. On this episode, we talk with Benita Fitzgerald Mosley, who became the organization's new chief executive officer in February 2026. Benita is an Olympic champion herself, winning gold in 1984 in the 100 meter hurdles. She's also a mother of children who have their own competitive athletic journeys. These experiences combine to give her insight as to how to lead an organization whose mission is to protect young athletes. Our conversation, which took place during her first week on the job, gets into the differences of the inappropriate behavior she saw during her time as an athlete, the measures the U.S. Center for SafeSport is taking today, and her hopes for what the center can achieve in the future.   Also on this episode, Alison reviews her experience at Stars on Ice, which includes insight on how influential Alysa Liu has become in our culture.   Plus, there are rumors that the International Olympic Committee has said game over to esports and has thoughts about the sports programs for French Alps 2030 and Brisbane 2032.   2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics.
