The Paris Olympics is a recurring topic discussed across several podcast episodes, with a focus on the potential impact of the event and the broader political context in France.

One episode from The Sports Agents explores how the success of the French national football team contrasts with the rise of far-right politics in the country, and how a victory for the far-right could impact the Olympics. Another episode from Apple News Today discusses the Paris Olympics' goal to be the greenest games through sustainability efforts like geothermal cooling, and the challenges posed by some countries bringing their own air conditioning.

The podcast Call Her Daddy also touches on the Paris Olympics, with gymnast Simone Biles discussing her excitement about potentially competing in the event and having her husband experience the Olympic environment.
