The Toyko Summer Olympic Games: Pandemic, Politics, Profits, Protests, and Plus-Size Athletes

This is Laura Rice, and you're watching Full Body Frequency. My guest this episode is Idy Uyoe. He is an Olympic historian and leads Idy Sports, a sports marketing, media, and events management agency located in Atlanta, Georgia. Not only does he work with several African Olympic Committees, but he also ran one leg of the 1996 Summer Olympic torch relay. In celebration of the 32nd Olympiad, we discuss the impact of the pandemic, politics, profits, protests, and plus-size athletes on The Olympics.

In this episode, we talk:

The Summer Olympics and its complications, costs, and history;
The history of Olympic protests, 1908 to the present;
Primetime television, the NCAA, and the Simone Biles factor;
What has been banned, who has been banned, and what these bannings mean for diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in sports; and,
For the first time in the history of the games, women outnumber men.
