Olympic Special: Celebrating cross country mountain bike events at Paris '24 with Tara Nolan, Canadian Cycling Magazine

  • Summary

  • Fast, furious, dramatic - the 2024 Olympic Mountain Bike races in Paris delivered on the drama front!

    Spindrift host Aoife Glass chats with Tara Nolan, journalist from Canadian Cycling Magazine in this special edition of the Spindrift Podcast.

    They discuss highlights of the women's and men's Olympic XC events, the medal winners, the course, the dramatic moments of both events of which there were plenty, and what it's like to be a journalist at the Paris Olympic Games.

    With crashes, punctures, blood, sweat and tears - literally - these two races prove the point that when it comes to mountain bike racing, the race 'ain't won 'till the winner crosses the line.

    Recorded spur of the moment (Aoife is en route to Paris, Tara is in Paris reporting for Canada Cycling Magazine) this episode has a different feel and sound to our usual episodes, but we hope you'll enjoy getting an insight into one of the highest profile mountain bike events on any racers schedule, and one that some riders have dedicated years of work towards achieving.
