NSL Founder and Olympic medalist with the CANWNT, Diana Matheson joins Game Play to chat about how the NSL started, Canada's ‘world class' ability in Women's sports and how the 2012 Olympics changed the soccer landscape in Canada.

“It was an overwhelming feeling of emotion. I had put London in a box in the corner of my heart, had shielded it up, stored it away. In the weeks since, it's been trying to unpack a lot of those feelings and the gratitude that 12 years later, there's actually justice coming.” Share Russian middle-distance runner Tatyana Tomashova may be stripped of her 2012 Olympic 1500m silver medal after being found guilty of a second anti-doping violation and being banned for 10 years. American Shannon Rowbury, who originally finished sixth in the 1500m Olympic final at the London Olympics, may receive the bronze medal after three women ahead of her have been disqualified for anti-doping offenses.  The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced an arbiter determined Tomashova is now banned for 10 years and lost all her results from June 21, 2012 to Jan. 3, 2015 after her out-of-competition drug test samples from June 2012 and July 2012 were re-tested and come back positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Tomashova initially finished fourth in the 1500m final at the London Olympics. Turkey's Asli Cakir Alptekin and Gamze Bulut, who were the original 1500m Olympic gold and silver medalists, have also been disqualified for doping. Bahrain's Maryam Yusuf Jamal has been upgraded from bronze to gold. Tomashova was upgraded to silver. Abeba Aregawi was moved up from fifth place to bronze. Rowbury would be upgraded from fourth to bronze. This would have been the second global championship medal for Rowbury in her career after her 2009 World Championship 1500m bronze medal and would have made her the first American woman to medal in the 1500m at the Olympic Games.

The Olympic Games have come to represent the best of the best — incomparable athletics, state-of-the-art facilities, host cities that pull out all the stops, and of course, outstanding branding. In 2012 London hosted the Summer Games and wanted to capture the world's attention with an identity that would turn the notion of the modern games on its head. Sairah Ashman, global CEO at creative consultancy Wolff Olins shares the firm's design thinking for the brand that would go on to be one of the most talked-about, unforgettably modern Olympic Games emblems. To see the change of brand for yourself, visit achangeofbrand.com or follow us on Instagram @achangeofbrand.Produced by Matchstic (matchstic.com / @matchstichouse), hosted by Blake Howard, (@blakehoward), co-hosted by Tracy Clark, edited by Gabe Kitzman, fact-checked by Jill Jeffries, co-written by Pamela Henman, and artwork by Rachel Jackson.

James Brown is an athlete, inventor, social entrepreneur, multi-Paralympian gold medal winner  - and climate activist.  There was a time when James was known most for his astonishing achievements across many sports. Between 1980 and 2015, he took part in no less than five Paralympic Games (winter and summer) as well as eighteen World Championship events.His range of disciplines was extraordinary: they included track running, cross-country skiing, triathlon, swimming, road/track cycling and guide-running. He has several Paralympic Gold medals, was holder of the 800m World Record for eight years and has three other World Firsts to his name, including being the first registered blind person to compete in a World Track Masters cycling event at the velodrome in Manchester. In 2018, everything changed for James when his daughter - then at university - broke down in front of him in a cafe in Exeter and explained all she had been reading about the climate and ecological emergency.  James wept with her, but she offered hope in the shape of the newly formed Extinction Rebellion, and the possibility that non-violent direct action might help foment change. James committed to being at her side in whatever actions she took and within weeks, they were walking arm in arm to the blocking of the five bridges that were the first London Extinction Rebellion action. Since then, James has been arrested 13 times for his non-violent actions (once for spraying chalk paint on the road outside DEFRA in Bristol where it was raining so hard the chalk was washing off as they sprayed it one and was gone long before the arrest process was complete). Most recently, he spent two and a half months in Wandsworth prison for the action that propelled him to climate-activist super-stardom - when he climbed onto a plane at City Airport and superglued himself to the top. The Facebook Live video that he recorded at the time has gone viral and James received thousands of letters and emails while he was in prison, from people who felt desperate about the climate emergency and wanted to know how to find the same courage. So this is what we explore in today's episode - courage and agency and activism in an age of total transformation.  What can we do, and how can we find the courage to take the action we know the world needs?

On this episode of Blindsided, we welcome Helen Maroulis. She's the first Olympic gold medalist ever for the U.S. in women's wrestling. After reaching the pinnacle of her career at the 2016 Games in Rio, Helen suffered a concussion. The effects revealed themselves over time and, she says, changed her a lot — mentally and emotionally. But she was determined to heal. Helen talks about struggling with her mental health after her injury … about losing all of her confidence right after she won the gold … and about why she considers her biggest accomplishment to be her return to wrestling. Helen came back to the sport with a new perspective. She earned a second medal this past summer at the Tokyo Olympics. It was a bronze — and without question it's the medal she's most proud of. Here's Helen Maroulis on Blindsided.   *This episode contains content and topics that may be difficult for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week, we learn about all the quantum mathematics and numbers you have to crunch to understand the dark truth - that the 2012 London Summer Olympics was an evil plot by the shadow New World Order cabal that runs the world!

Jeremy Leslie is joined by two guests for this episode; one is a long-established indie publisher, the other a design director known for her branding work. Both have plenty to share about magazine-making. First, Pentagram partner (and film director)Marina Willer joins Jeremy at the magCulture Shop. She's just redesigned film magazine Sight and Sound. First published in 1932, the redesign is a major revamp of the longstanding title; Marina discusses her brand-orientated approach to the project. They also take a quick look at a couple of new arrivals at the Shop. The second guest joins Jeremy from New York via Zoom; Felix Burrichter founded architectural magazine Pin-Up 15 years ago, and looks back over those years as well as introducing the anniversary elements of the current special 30th issue. The back issue this time is actually a series, the daily magazines produced for the London 2012 Olympic games. As this year's Tokyo Olympics continue, Jeremy and Marina reminisce about the 2012 games and review its controversial visual identity and how it was applied to the magazines. Big thanks to our friends at Park Communications for their support of the Podcast.

"the roof looks like a stingray"

“What can I do now? I personally am like, I can get faster, I can get stronger. I can get more intelligent, mentally I can get stronger. I can become a better teammate, a better friend, a better leader. And  that's motivation within itself,  the opportunity to improve.” - Maggie SteffensToday's guest is Maggie Steffens, Captain of the U.S. Women's Olympic Water Polo team. Our conversation with Maggie was a blast. We touched on everything from how she handled the mental challenge created by the pandemic, her approach to showing up big in high pressure situations and the unique approach she takes with her teammates when it comes to leadership. Throughout our exploration of her mindset on these and so many other topics, the recurring theme that stood out to us was the need in life  to be adaptable. It's very clear that this is one of the key characteristics that has helped Maggie excel at such a high level in her sport for so many years. As you listen to our conversation, you'll discover a few tips you can apply to your life to be a little more adaptable. Show Notes(3:18) Where you can find Maggie and where training is taking place…(5:44) The impact of the 2020 Olympics being cancelled…(8?49) Taking advantage of the “opportunities” that Covid provided…(14:50) “We found other ways to test our bodies and test our minds, and stay active and kind of try to find creative ways to also stay connected through that as well.” Being creative and adaptive in training…(16:20) A last-second shot in 2017…(20:44) “I asked the three biggest girls and then the three strongest girls on our Stanford team to stay after practice for five minutes.

Welcome back to another episode of the believe move grow podcast.  I discovered todays guest from my brother!  Long story short, I was asking my brother, who is head of art at an academy school in London, who would be a great person to speak to regarding PE in the Uk?  Without a moment's hesitation he recommended Shaun Dowling!   To provide some background on Shaun, he is a former Head of PE and Director of Specialism (sport) who progressed to vice principal roles in two secondary schools. Having taken a national role with the Youth Sport Trust Shaun was given the opportunity of delivering some teacher training in Iraq as part of an EU-funded contract with the British Council. In 2013 Shaun appeared before the Education Select Committee to give evidence on ‘School Sport following London 2012'. In 2014 United Learning published ‘The A-Z of School Improvement through PE and Sport' which Shaun produced and co-edited. He sits on the Board of Trustees for Sports Leaders UK, the Board of Directors for the Adur Outdoor Activities Centre and the Education Board for Apex2100 In today's conversation I chatted to Shaun all about his work at United Learning, a group of schools providing excellent education. We explored Shaun's time in Iraq when he was contributing to teacher training at a time when the country was in a re-building stage and how the power of teacher training brought together individuals from different religious and ethnic groups.  We discussed whether the euphoria from the London 2012 Olympics towards sport carried over into sport participation in schools? Shaun spoke about how United Learning surveyed 6000 students to identify the student voice and fin out what they wanted from physical education. We also addressed the hire wire balancing act between addressing the physical EDUCATION part of PE whilst getting in enough moderate to vigorous physical activity during the day for children.

Renowned designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby of Barber Osgerby open up about their lives and careers. If I’m honest the intention was to chat about the role plywood played in their nascent careers but we ended up chewing the fat about (among other things): meeting at the Royal College of Art and nearly being kicked out; not slagging off Richard Rogers; the 'toxicity’ of contemporary design; how the British design scene has changed since they emerged in the ’90s; the importance of collaboration; their obsession with making; oh and why their work definitely, definitely isn’t ‘Blair-ite’. En route we also go into detail about the creation of the Olympic torch for the 2012 Games, the thinking behind their revolutionary Tip Ton chair for Vitra, and their recent On & On stacking chair made of recycled plastic for the US manufacturer Emeco.

Sam welcomes to the podcast two-time Olympic medalist and decorated track and field hurdler, Dawn Harper. Dawn took home the gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, making history as a hurdler in the process. In this episode, Dawn recalls her journey to the 2008 Olympics, including stories of her inspiring coach, overcoming a knee injury, and the moment she realized she took home gold. Dawn speaks to her decision to step away from track and field (for now) to start a family and become a mother. She talks about her daughter, Harper, and her husband, Alonzo who has supported her career through all the ups and downs. Finally, Dawn touches on her decision to train and compete to represent the U.S. yet again in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Full show notes: http://ihavecoolfriends.show/s3e2

Canada vs United States in the semi-final at the Olympics, what more can you ask for? One of the greatest Olympic football matches of all time.

In the months leading up to London's hosting of the 2012 Olympic games, many alternative researchers were speculating on whether the event was to be used to launch another society-changing false-flag "terror" event, of the type we have seen so often since. Thankfully, nothing of that nature did occur. But today's returning guest, author Carl James, argues that a massive mind-control psy-op was, in fact, perpetrated on the public through the ritualistic and symbolic aspects of the opening and closing ceremonies.
