Off The Podium - An Olympics Podcast

A massive interview coming your way today as we chat with the absolute GOAT of volleyball Karch Kiraly about his incredible career and Olympic experiences that saw him create history as the only athlete to win gold in both indoor and beach volleyball! We find out from Karch about his Olympic aspirations growing up and just how important it was to him to use those aspirations to help Team USA go from no success in men's volleyball to becoming Olympic champions. We also learn about his transition into Olympic beach volleyball and how it ended up being a 'bonus' that he was able to attend a third Olympics as a player. Added to this we find out whether or not he might be tempted to keep going to another LA Olympics in 2028, just what the gold for the women's team meant for the USA in Tokyo and what winter version of the sport could be on the horizon for a Winter Olympics appearance in the future. It's an amazing chat with an amazing athlete you won't want to miss!
