Today is Monday, August 4th, 2025 and on this day in 2012, Team Great Britain won 3 gold medals within a 44-minute span during the London Olympics.

In this episode, we will hear about these 3 athletes and their respective events - Jessica Ennis in the heptathlon, Greg Rutherford in the men's long jump, and Mo Farah in the men's 10,000 metres - and learn what makes "Super Saturday" such a significant moment in British sports history.
