About this episode

This is the first of several podcasts telling the story of modern tennis at the Olympic Games.

We start with 1988 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona, events that produced so many memorable moments.

If you want to go straight to Barcelona, it begins at 50m.20s.

We have spoken to five medallists for this podcast.

1988 Seoul 

Zina Garrison (bronze in singles, gold in doubles) - 19m 55s

Tim Mayotte (silver in singles) - 38m 36s

1992 Barcelona

Marc Rosset (gold in singles) - 1h 02m 04s

Michael Stich (gold in doubles) - 1h 11m 28s

Gigi Fernandez (gold in doubles) - 1h 25m 50s

NOTE - This episode is longer than we intended it to be, so we may split them up for the future!
