Winter Olympic Recap | Bottom Line Bombs (Ep. 316)
Winter Olympics Recap: USA Hockey Gold vs Canada, Figure Skating Stars, Skimo Debut + Gambling Pod Updates
CJ Sullivan hosts the Winter Olympic Recap edition of Bottom Line Bombs on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network. He recaps the closing ceremonies, reviews recent betting results (including Genesis Invitational matchups featuring Rory over Scheffler at +280, plus other matchup and placement misses), and plugs SGPN’s app and sponsors (Kalshi, Rhythm, Underdog, and Novig). The main focus is the USA men’s hockey gold-medal win over Canada (2–1 in overtime), highlighting Jack Hughes’ game-winner, Connor Hellebuyck’s goaltending, debate over 3-on-3 overtime, and postgame controversy around a Trump phone call and a Keith Patel locker-room celebration. CJ also covers women’s hockey winning gold, breakout figure skating champion Alysa Liu and the online political discourse around her, and skier Eileen Gu’s decision to represent China and her reported earnings. He runs through the final medal count led by Norway and spotlights Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klæbo winning six gold medals. Other Olympic notes include a scary speed skating injury (a skate to the eye), halfpipe crashes, the heavy favorite “quad god” finishing eighth after multiple falls, and the debut of skimo (ski mountaineering). The episode ends with a “Man in the Box” segment about a BAFTA moment involving an audience member with Tourette syndrome shouting slurs and the mixed online reactions, before CJ wraps up the recap and signs off.
