Mojo goes to Rio and finds plenty to get excited about

Corinna Hente

In Mojo's second Olympics podcast, ALEX HATZIKOSTAS, MATT BALMER and MATT JOHNSON recap an enthralling first few days of athletics action. Both broken world records and broken bodies are discussed as the competition enters its final days, with some guy named Usain Bolt somewhere in the mix.

From there, they analyse a disappointing end to the Opals' 2016 Olympics campaign after being knocked out in the quarter-finals, before looking forward to what the Boomers could potentially achieve.
