Finishing Off the Podium Can Be a Good Thing: 2x Olympic Bobsledder Josh Williamson Explains
Episode 452
Thursday, 5 November, 2026
We love it when our very first TKFLASTANI returns to the show! 2x Olympic bobsledder Josh Williamson joins us to talk about his experiences competing at Milano Cortina 2026. He and pilot Frank Del Duca finished fourth in the two-main bobsled, and while coming home with a medal would have been nice, Josh's arduous journey to even get to these Olympics makes that finish great. Josh also competed in the four-man event, in which his sled placed 12th. Again, not a great finish on paper, but it's a great finish for this team. Josh explains why. Follow Josh on Instagram: @jwilliamsonusa In LA 28 news, a recent study from ACC and USC Annenberg revealed what people want from the upcoming Games - and how free events and city flair could make all the difference. Plus, we have some more information on hospitality houses, including what's happening at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall and House of Switzerland. The Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games have opened, and already there are weather issues that have forced organizers to make changes to swimming. Also, the IOC has announced the final list of countries that are in the running to host the 2036 Summer Olympics. We talk about the cities that could potentially become Olympic hosts.
