Alberta in Canada has withdrawn its bid to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. It follows a decision last month by the Australian state of Victoria to pull out of hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Both say that the event is simply too expensive - and would cost as much as $2bn. We speak to the CEO of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games about the impact of this. An amateur rapper and her husband have pleaded guilty to trying to launder $4.5bn (£3.5bn) of Bitcoin that he had stolen in a hack in 2016. Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein were arrested last year in New York. We find out how they manged that heist. And we look at "Emancipendence" celebrations in Jamaica as it come to a climax. The day commemorates the abolition of slavery in not just Jamaica but the British Empire. We hear what this day has meant for the economic development of Jamaica.

Dan Andrews' 2026 Commonwealth Games cancellation has thrown the event's future into doubt. We break down the political and sporting disaster.  Find out more about The Front podcast here and read about this story and more on The Australian's website or search for The Australian in your app store.

We also discuss her successful forays into the Open Water Cup competitions, dissecting the experiences and crucial takeaways from those events.

What helps to build resilience? Viv Groskop talks to the broadcaster, Gabby Logan, who has pioneered sports presenting for women in the UK. Just this year she co-led the BBC's coverage of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games and Women's Euro 2022.

Swimmer Andrew Jeffcoat has broken a national record to become New Zealand's latest gold medallist at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

New Zealand has finished as the top nation in the track cycling at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games after another golden day for the riders in black. Ellesse Andrews and Aaron Gate both won titles today meaning they finished the programme with three gold medals each. Barry Guy wraps up a successful track cycling programme.

Our friend Peter Bol is on track for a run at the Gold medal at the upcoming Birmingham Commonwealth Games. It got my reflecting and listening back to my chat with the 800m superstar. In this snippet, we chat about the need to be arrogant in individual sport and how important it is to perform at your best.

On the day this episode released, Andrea had just competed in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.  At the age of 40 and with a toddler, it may be the last time we ever see this triathlon legend wearing the black lycra. We talk about her incredible career spanning almost 2 decades, how she stayed fit during her recent pregnancy, giving birth WHILE nursing a broken arm, the time she finished a triathalon after breaking her collarbone, the sudden death of her partner in France a few years back and much more. Shes pretty shy and modest so talking about herself is not something that comes easy to Andrea.  With that in mind, I really appreciate her making the time to sit down to chat. Hope you guys enjoy it.      

We pay tribute to the late John Hore Grenell with one of his old friends, and celebrate the opening of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, with a man who set alight the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here we are, a few days out from the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The judo is going to be really exciting, and as a platform for Judo, for Brits (and presumably the wider Commonwealth group of nations) the media profile of the event is second only to the Olympics.I briefly look back on the Judo in the first few events that are a part of the Paris Olympic cycle, before running down the stories i'm looking to see unfold at the B2022 Commies.

Tom Walsh was brought to tears after being announced as one of the New Zealand flagbearers for tomorrow morning's opening ceremony at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Defending shot put champion Walsh and six-time squash medallist Joelle King will lead the team - the first time a male and female athlete have jointly carried the New Zealand flag at the Commonwealth Games. Walsh told our reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe that he was a little surprised to be asked.

Before they left New Zealand for the Commonwealth Games, I got to catch up with 5 of our awesome athletes- all who are real medal prospects (hopefully that doesn't jinx it). These are all conversations I'm really proud of and I cannot wait to share them with you guys.  Please like/subscribe/follow/etc to make sure you don't miss an episode (Because instead of the usual Monday release, these will come out to coincide with their respective events). Tyla Nathan Wong from the women's Sevens. Sam Tanner, 1500m runner (Ran a sub 4 minute mile as a teen!) The captain of the NZ women's cricket team, Sophie Devine. Triathlons rising star Haydn Wilde (Podcast re-release). And the long reigning queen of women's triathlon, Andrea Hewitt.   

Joelle King and Tom Walsh will be New Zealand's joint flagbearers at the opening ceremony of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games on Friday morning. The ceremony runs from 6am tomorrow morning, with the Games proper starting tomorrow night our time, when triathlete Hayden Wilde dips his toes in the water. Squash player Joelle King is one of the country's most decorated Commonwealth Games athletes, having won six medals. At the last Games in Australia she won gold in the women's singles and women's doubles, as well as bronze in the mixed doubles, she'll be seeking more success this year. She spoke to Susie Ferguson.

With the Birmingham Commonwealth Games coming in the next few days, Lee and Kev will discuss Kev's experience being baton bearer and home town hero.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bcb. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we are coming from the Queens Baton Relay event in Shrewsbury Quarry. This event was put together by Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury BID and Shropshire Festivals to celebrate the Birmingham Commonwealth Games and the Queens Baton that had travelled all around the world, to 19 different countries that make up the Commonwealth. The English leg of the baton's tour took 25 days and visited counties up and down the country. We were invited to set up a studio and do our thing. AL is joined by his good friend Alexander Westwood to co-host. Mr Westwood someone AL had acted with at Shrewsbury Prison for a couple of years and someone who appears fearless behind a mic. Here is a collection of interviews that were conducted during the day.

Fresh off her 3rd Canadian National championship in Vancouver, Hollie received the news that she'd been selected, not surprisingly so, to represent Canada at the upcoming Birmingham Commonwealth Games. It may have been a foregone conclusion, but after not having been chosen in 2018, it must have felt great to receive that phone call. Hollie and I talk about winning her third national title, the excitement of playing the Commonwealth Games and going for a medal, training under Malcolm Willstrop and the Pontefract stable, and her assessment of the 2021/22 season.
