116. Rob’s Olympic Diary Pt.1

Rob’s flying solo this week and it’s a full-tilt sporting diary as he throws himself headfirst into the glorious chaos of the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina… from the comfort of his sofa (mostly).It all started pre-tournament for Britain’s Curlers last Wednesday, before the week snowballs into opening ceremony splendour, men’s and women’s downhill drama, that terrifying Lindsey Vonn crash and the heart-in-mouth heli-ambulance evacuation, women’s Big Air, Ice Dancing in the team event, and huge excitement as Jenn and Bruce battle their way into the semi-finals of the Mixed Doubles Curling.Somewhere along the way, things get a bit… real. The action ramps up, the FOMO kicks in, and Rob finds himself making a very impulsive, very last-minute decision that might just involve heading out to the mountains himself. He sets off tomorrow. Or does he?And because one sport-fuelled week apparently isn’t enough, Rob also squeezes in Leeds United v Nottingham Forest, catches the start of the Super Bowl, and continues his budding love affair with the Broncos with a trip to the Challenge Cup clash against the Bradford Bulls.It’s a rambling, joyful, slightly unhinged celebration of elite sport, emotional investment, and the dangerous idea that watching too much sport can lead to international travel.And don’t go anywhere — this is just the warm-up. Make sure you’re subscribed and ready to sprint back for a bonus episode next week… live from the Olympics.Comment with you Olympics best watch moments, like, follow and subscribe! @StageDoorAthletic#RobShawCameron #StageDoorAthletic #SportsPodcast #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina #TeamGB #Curling #IceDancing #BigAir #SportsObsessed #SoloEpisode #UKPodcast #LeedsUnited #SuperBowl #LiveFromTheOlympicsHosts: Jack Loxton & Rob Shaw CameronEdited by: Rob Shaw Cameron@jackloxton1 @robshawcameron@thecourtofjames Stage Door Athletic is a [NON]FICTION PEOPLE Podcast © [NON]FICTION PEOPLE LtdPRS Licence: LC-002182Visit our website for more information on this and other great podcasts.Published by RiversideFMMilano Cortina (Official Soundtrack for Team Belgium Winter Olympics 2026) - Pegassi ℗ 2025 Sweet NothingSki Sunday - The London Theatre Orchestra ℗ 2003 Demon Music Group Ltd.
