When did "podium" become a verb?

I'm a huge Olympics fan. Athletes no longer "win" medals, they "podium". The PC Police are running amok. No one ever wins these days because that implies other people lost. We are all "winners" these days.

How come nobody told me about this important change before?

Do you perform when you podium?

Snake, no one podiums in volleyball?

Astrid, other than the American track team that made complete asses of themselves in Sydney, I've never seen any athlete perform when they podium. Quite a few them cry, however.
