From Paris to the world, Olympics 2024

Three of our Fifth Floor colleagues discuss what the Olympic Games means to their audiences.

What is it like to cover such a globally significant sporting event such as the Olympic Games? We've invited three of our Fifth Floor colleagues to discuss what the Olympics means to their audiences and to tell us about some of the lesser known stories behind this year's games.

Joining us are Celestine Korey from 大象传媒 Sports Africa, based in Nairobi and Pooria Jefereh from 大象传媒 Persian, who are both heading to Paris for the games. We'll also hear from 大象传媒 Uzbek鈥檚聽Firuz Rahimi who has spent the past few years following the incredible story of two sisters from Afghanistan who'll represent their country in the cycling despite the road to getting there being anything but smooth.

Produced by Caroline Ferguson and Hannah Dean.
