Tokyo Olympics, US Open, and Messi leaving Barcelona | NL Playoffs Ep 3

In this episode of #NLPlayoffs, hosts and Newslaundry subscribers Aniketh and Gowtham are joined by #sports journalist Zenia D’cunha.

In a round-up of what went down at the recently concluded #TokyoOlympics, the panel discusses Qatar’s Mutaz Barshim and Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi sharing the gold in the men’s high jump, and Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge defending his title in the men’s marathon. They also discuss India’s performance, from #NeerajChopra to Aditi Ashok, and their favourite moments in the Olympics.

The conversation shifts to the #USOpen and how #RogerFederer’s knee injury will keep him out this year and #LionelMessi leaving #Barcelona after two decades and moving on to Paris Saint Germain.
