Another Winter Olympics have come and gone, a surprisingly good fortnight for Team Poland. Kamila Sellier's short track crash has made international headlines, but happily it wasn't as serious as we feared. Eliza Rucka-Michałek came back from health scares, forced retirement and motherhood to finish 8th in cross country's marathon equivalent. And I must do a mea culpa regarding the men's hockey final(Damn you and your teeth Jack Hughes!)

Irish Dave joins me again as we finally get our bad weather revenge for the 1974 World Cup semifinal with Tomasiak and Wąsek winning the team event silver instead of the Germans after it was cut short due to a Narnia-like amount of snow. Also, Andżelika Wójcik accuses Speed Skating bosses of not giving her coach(turns out she went freelance on her own behest) and Dave rants about Curling taking up half the games' schedule.

We're doing so well in Milan that I'm giving you a second episode this week! In Speed Skating, Vladimir Semirunniy repays the faith of us adopting him from Russia and of his own Olympic dreams almost ruined by Putin's invasion by winning silver in the 10000 metres. Whilst Kacper Tomasiak added to his growing legend by adding a bronze on the large hill.

Turns out these Winter Olympics won't be a lost cause for Poland after all! 19-year-old Kacper Tomasiak becomes our youngest ever medalist at the Winter Games with a silver on the normal hill. All of this in spite of the storm surrounding Adam Małysz and the PZN as well as the president.

Also, where can I order our figure skaters' plush pierogis? Why Warsaw should actually bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics(even if we lose in the end) and why is a German company our kit sponsor?

In our last pre-Winter Olympics episode Irish Dave joins me again to talk about all the cameras at the Australian Open, Iga's funny comments about it, and why she is still more likeable than war apologist Sabalenka. Also, why Ekstraklasa is the closest league in Europe, soon-to-be-promoted Wisła will welcome Wrexham to Kraków in July and Ola Mirosław retires from Sports Climbing.

In Episode 9 the Poles go a full 6-for-6 in the first round of the Australian Open, a "happy slam" even more so for us than for other nations. Polish Handball meanwhile is going in the opposite direction, as the national team loses all three group games at the Euros. And my historical deep dive on the Dakar Rally and Poland's contributions to motorsport's toughest event.

In Episode 8, Klaudia Zwolinska used her social media to the fullest extent to become Poland's Sports Personality of the Year and Mariusz Czerkawski did a rookie of the year performance as host. Also, Lewy puts Xabi Alonso in the job office, Iga and Co. win the United Cup, Kamil Stoch's farewell in Zakopane, Speed Skating wonders in Tomaszów Mazowiecki and how Damian Knyba was robbed of the interim heavyweight title.

In Episode 7 I am joined by my friend Irish Dave for a more rose-tinted glasses' review of 2025. On tap we'll have the US Open hat snatcher, Nawrocki's hooligan allegations, Polish Olympic Committee's ludicrous crypto sponsorship and Lewy reaching 100 Champions League goals. Also how even in defeat, Krzysztof Ratajski made us all proud at the Ally Pally.
