Global News Podcast · More than the Score: When will Africa win its first Winter Olympic medal? · 6 Feb 2026 podcast

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Yeah, it's a special achievement.

And so I just want to start by congratulating Matt.

I think this is just so awesome.

And I wish you all the best in Milano Cortina.

And I love that.

That snowbuck, like that is...

That's so awesome.

And it was really powerful to hear how you described kind of like this Olympic dream that has come to life in a very different way than maybe you originally expected, but it's come to life nonetheless.

And that really resonates with me because that's my story as well.

I started in track and field and that was my original Olympic dream to be a summer Olympian.

But then it took shape at the Winter Olympics in a way that was very unexpected, but even actually more sweet in a way because it was so historic for the continent of Africa.

So I applaud you for continuing that history, paving the path for more Africans.

And I think it's so awesome to keep that door wide open.

So congratulations.

What I've noticed is since I competed in Pyeongchang, at that point, it was the most African countries that were represented at an Olympic Games.

I think it was like eight countries or so from the continent.

But then we saw a drop off in 2022 in Beijing.

And that for me was a step back.

So I'm eager to see what the data is looking like for this Olympic Games.
