Le doyen des commentateurs sportifs, Bruce McAvaney rejoint SBS pour commenter les Championnats du monde d'athlétisme de 2025 à Tokyo

In the world of sports broadcasting, they don’t come much more accomplished - or beloved - than the one and only Bruce McAvaney. Throughout his career, Bruce has covered an incredible 12 summer Olympic games, 20 AFL Grand Finals, the world swimming and world athletic championships, Rugby World Cup, Melbourne Cup and a slew of others. In this episode, you’ll hear about the early influences that ignited Bruce’s passion for sport, the mentors who have supported him throughout his career, and why he remains dedicated to doing the same for up-and-coming broadcasters. Bruce’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the sporting world is undoubtedly a result of the extensive preparation he prides himself on, and he tells us why ‘being prepared’ is key advice he gives to young people wanting to follow their dreams. You'll also hear Bruce talk about the more challenging aspects of being a high-profile media personality, why he’s so excited about 17-year-old Australian sprinter, Gout Gout, how self-doubt still manages to creep in after all these years, and the iconic Olympic moment that caught him off guard.

If you have a tattoo bet for Mitch Dyer, he'll take it on. The sports journalist has forgotten exactly how many tattoo bets he's lost, but they've resulted in everything from a seahorse, to a choice phrase on his butt cheek.   Mitch is the founder of Straight At It, a media company devoted to athletics news and content on social media. This year he's been reporting at the Olympics and US Olympic Trials for Citius Mag and chasing summer Diamond League races in Europe with photographer Jacob Gower. He's also shared the commentary box with the likes of legends Bruce McAvaney and Tamsyn Manou. Next up for Mitch? Expanding his social media model to include more sports! His early days starting Straight At It looked very different. First, he quit his job as a sports reporter with a News Corp newspaper in Mackay and sold most of his possessions to report on athletics as a freelancer in Europe. When he got there, he was sleeping in 8-10 bed dorm rooms, calling in favours from friends and living on the smell of an oily rag. But he burnt for it, and it burnt him out. Mitch has some valuable lessons to share from those experiences, from taking time out to eat cheese (not chicken!) twisties, to separating who you are as a person from what you do, there's laughter and frivolity and wisdom in equal parts in this episode. Mitch Dyer is an Australian sports journalist, with a focus on broadcasting, social media, hosting events and commentating. He was formerly a carpenter, marketing employee and US college athlete. He is the founder of Straight At It, which is part of the At It network. - Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

Join us on Legends With Bevo for a conversation with Jason 'Richo' Richardson who is one of the greats in Australian sports commentary. Richo tells us about his sports crazy childhood, his thrilling win in the 1993 Stawell Gift and how a job in sunglasses sales sparked his career into sports commentary. Along the way he reflects on his time as a track and field competitor, the heartwarming story of how he met his wife, Kate Anderson and working with some of the greatest cricketers of all time. Richo's running career saw him race with the greats of track and field, Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis and train with Australian Olympic legend, Cathy Freeman. His move away from competition and his obsession for all things sporting has been turned into a career that sees him working alongside one of his childhood heroes, Bruce McAvaney. His love of sports and his stories on and off the field give us a glimpse into the sporting world few have been able to experience. Thanks so much to Richo for giving up his time, to the great man James Tzaferis for the introduction to Richo and to the team at PodBooth for putting this great video together.

Despite being a five-time Olympian and five-time world champion Aerial Skier, Jacqui Cooper failed to land 80% of her jumps. In a high-skill, high-risk, high-impact, high-courage sport, that equates to a lot of crashes, a lot of injuries, a lot of pain and a lot of operations (33 to be exact). This time around, Jacqui and I talk about all those crashes and learning through the physical and mental pain, getting back in the gym after a thirteen-year absence, her IVF journey and her thoughts around the topic, her white-line fever (her hyper-competitiveness), her transition into professional speaking, her body at fifty, her Bruce McAvaney performance enhancer (it'll make sense in the show) and lots more.
