It's Only Sport best of | August 7

On today's podcast, It's Only Sport host Martin Devlin has one eye on the Paris Olympic Games, with the other beginning to focus on the All Blacks' first Rugby Championship test of 2024, up against Argentina in Wellington this weekend.First off on the podcast, Devlin delivers a sermon discussing a headline on the Stuff website, suggesting New Zealand's performance in the men’s C2 500 canoe sprint at the Paris Olympics - finishing dead last in the heats and quarter-finals - was possibly the country's 'most embarrassing performance in Olympics history'. Devlin argues otherwise, saying that once you read the background to the event and why the Kiwi duo of Max Brown and Grant Clancy are there, it makes more sense as to why they performed so poorly.Then, former All Black Justin Marshall joins the show to preview the team naming for the first Pumas test, Miles Davis offers his thoughts on Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and the English Premier League season fast-approaching, Mark Watson talks a number of key Olympic sports involving Kiwi athletes, and Maggie Cogger-Orr details her journey to becoming a premier rugby referee.All that and much more!
