Summary
The London Olympics will never be forgotten by our Tennis Podcast team, for the opening ceremony, the incredible athletic feats, all of it happening on their doorsteps, and David's inability to watch any of it.
Andy Murray and Serena Williams were the champions, their gold medal winning runs are discussed, and David talks to Laura Robson, who won a medal alongside Murray.
The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Mary Ann Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo. I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Neut. I'm Andy Murray. |
| 0:06.7 | This is Janik Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.7 | Hello folks and welcome once again to the tennis podcast and a limb picks relived where the end is |
| 0:28.8 | a bit nigh for my liking. We've arrived kind of at the crescendo. We've arrived at London 2012. So |
| 0:37.2 | spoiler alert, that means we've only got two more limb picks relived additions to come and quite |
| 0:43.0 | worryingly, unlike with the Grand Slam tree lived relived. If we end up having to do this again |
| 0:49.4 | next year, we've got no other material. We've done all the limb picks. |
| 0:55.0 | Artuary Catherine. We really will have to just do archery. Or weren't there some limb picks around |
| 1:00.5 | about 1896 or something? There were, I don't think footage is available though. Archery it is. |
| 1:07.6 | Archery it is. We'll rename the podcast and everything. New artwork, new merch. Possibly new |
| 1:15.1 | contributors given how Matt and David are looking at me right now. But yeah, in the series we've |
| 1:20.3 | managed to sort of cover, well, we're about to have covered sort of tennis's entire journey in |
| 1:26.7 | in the modern limb picks, which was not the plan. Was it? No, it wasn't the plan. It was going to be |
| 1:33.0 | one episode. One basic episode, just general chit chat about what went on instead we did 14 |
| 1:39.2 | interviews and seven and eight years, seven podcasts. We got carried away. Can we can we blame it all |
| 1:47.0 | on Leander Pays? No, we can blame it all on you. But you know, Leander Pays stoked the already |
| 1:55.8 | burning fire, I would say. You are one and two on the podium of blame, yes. |
| 2:02.3 | Thank you very much. That is a podium I'm very happy to be on. So we're here. We're at London 2012 |
| 2:10.0 | and again spoiler alert, there's going to be probably an awful lot of London UK bias to this because |
| 2:17.4 | I mean, I know London is the only city to have hosted the Olympics three times. So maybe it's not |
| 2:24.1 | as unique a moment in our lives as it is for people resident in cities that other cities that |
| 2:30.7 | have hosted Olympics. But it is something having a home Olympics living in London at the time, |
