1992 Olympics - the event that changed Barcelona forever

The 1992 Summer Olympic Games are the sporting event that put Barcelona on the world map and changed the city forever. In this episode, we take a nostalgic look back at the sporting memories, the opening and closing ceremonies, and the architectural legacy of the epic Summer Olympics of 1992 in the month of its 30th anniversary. Cillian Shields and Guifré Jordan interview Olympic medalists, a volunteer during the event, and an official for the Olympic stadium.  This week's Catalan phrase is “això va vent en popa a tota vela”, which means that a project is going well.
