Chasing Gold Podcast: South Sudan fights to make Olympic basketball history, and more

In the third episode of Chasing Gold Olympics 2024, hosts Mike Hove and Muqbil Yabarow are joined in studio by Sofiane Bernoukh, a sports social media influencer.

Discussions included the performance of South Sudan’s “Bright Star,” a team looking to make African basketball history by advancing to the next stage of the Paris Olympics.

Plus, debates continue about whether African sprinters, including Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo, Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala and South Africa’s Akani Simbine can win gold in the 100m and 200m race.

This, and more Olympics-related updates on this week’s Chasing Gold podcast!
