Welcome to the "Every 4 Years" Podcast: An Unofficial Olympic and Paralympic Podcast. Join us as we travel the country and delve into the lives of past, present, and future Olympians and Paralympians, their coaches, and their families. These are their stories, their journeys, and we're just along for the ride. I’m your host, Tim Puttre. I'm not an Olympian, Paralympian, journalist, or expert—just someone with a deep love and admiration for Olympians and Paralympians. They're incredible athletes and remarkable people with stories that inspire and captivate. That's what this podcast is all about. In our episodes, you'll discover sports you might not know much about, like Luge, Wheelchair Rugby, and Artistic Swimming (formerly known as Synchronized Swimming). We've had the privilege of talking to renowned athletes such as Greg Louganis, Dominique Dawes, Tatyana McFadden, Katie Ledecky, and Oksana Masters, as well as members of the 1980 US Miracle on Ice hockey team, Rob McClanahan and John Harrington. We invite you to listen to a few episodes and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of these extraordinary athletes.
