The Olympic Games have always been a site of soft diplomacy for participating nations. This has never been truer than in 2024, as athletes and countries competed at the Paris Olympic Games.
Olympic champions Patrick Johnson and Kieren Perkins joined awardwinning sports reporter Tracey Holmes ahead of the 2024 Games to discuss the future of the Olympics and examine how the competition is shaped by the tensions of geopolitical affairs.
Together, they explored Australian representation at the Games and discussed international divisions and points of connection. They also looked ahead to a major event in Australia’s calendar: the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
