Andrew Mueller hosts the show from Paris to mark the end of week one of our Maison Allianz residency. Allianz is a Worldwide Insurance Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We speak to our editorial director Tyler Brûlé about soft power at the Games, journalist Colette Davidson tells us why Parisians are starting to regret leaving the city and we get the latest from the action with Kieran Pender. Then: Kevin FitzPatrick, New Balance’s global vice-president of running, tells us about his company’s Olympic ambitions. We also meet the duo behind Eve Roger Athletics, a sportswear brand launched during the Games, which combines African culture with athleticism. Plus: journalist Paul Osbourne on team Australia and aviation news.
