The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing, with Taiwan having sent 60 of its top athletes to compete. This week on Zoom In Zoom Out, we look back into Taiwan’s complex history with the Olympics through a new documentary called "Decathlon: The C.K. Yang and Rafer Johnson Story."

In today’s episode, TaiwanPlus reporter Jeremy Olivier sits down with the film’s producer, Mike Chinoy. Mike is also a veteran journalist formerly with CNN. We first zoom in on the genesis of the documentary, then zoom out to understand the politics surrounding national sports.
