#005 – If Athletes: The Other Side was tailor made for any one athlete out there, it must be Callum Skinner. The Olympic Champion, who scored his greatest success in the Rio de Janeiro Velodrome at the 2016 Games, has clocked up more 'other side' successes in the 18 months since his retirement from the track - and by the mere age of 28 - than many athletes will manage in a lifetime. Symbolising a new breed of athlete reformers taking a grip on Olympic sport, Callum, in his prominent role as Lead Athlete of athlete-led movement, Global Athlete, has been taking on organisations such as the International Olympic Committee with his plans for shaking up how Olympic sport should be run. With a burgeoning career in sports governance, he also sits on the athlete bodies of the British Olympic Association and UK Anti-Doping.

In this episode of Service Course join Lizzy Banks and Tom Whalley as they take an look back at the track team from Derbados that took on the world and turned the track scene upside down. Team Huub Wattbike have been the leaders in technical innovation in the world of track cycling since they burst on to the scene as Team KGF back in the 2017 British National Track Championships. Since then, they've pushed the UCI rules to tipping point and watched the UCI push back with many different rule changes, ultimately leading to the banning of trade teams from track World Cup events. Being down but not out, Huub Wattbike simply decided to end on a high. May should have seen them attempting to break multiple track world records at altitude in Bolivia but that dream was also scuppered when they found themselves stranded in Tenerife during their final preparations. We also take a look at some of the latest emerging tech and speak to Callum Skinner about his Hindsight glasses just launched on Kickstarter.

Spokesmen Cycling Podcast EPISODE 245: In Conversation With Callum Skinner Sunday 31st May 2020 SPONSOR: Jenson USA HOST: Carlton Reid GUEST: Olympian Callum Skinner

Owain Doull had 2020 all planned out - Tour Down Under, the Classics, the Giro, then ease off towards the end of the year. That didn't work out, so he's now doing five hour training rides around his home and looking forward to a busy Autumn of racing. It gives him time to concentrate on his new project, though - a boutique coffee brand launched with fellow Olympians Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner. What is it with cyclists and coffee? Rouleur's Miles Baker-Clarke loves to sniff a freshly opened bag of beans, but don't judge him for that. He talks through the latest brands in the Desire section and on the Rouleur shop, and tries to convince presenter Ian Parkinson that he needs a set of £1400 jockey wheels.

Listen for a masterclass in success, grit and determination on and off the track.Join PodCrash hosts Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes as they catch up with Gildea in their mobile studio at the cycling World Championships in Harrogate.

While cycling remained a passion for Galdea, his focus was on building his business, until one landing went horrifyingly wrong and left him hospital-bound in May 2012. Having flipped over the handlebars, dislocated his knee, destroyed his ligaments and severed his nerves, Gildea was told he’d never cycle again. But, less than a year later, he was wearing a GB skinsuit and training as a paralympic rider. “In the back of my mind I was 32 and I wanted my fittest days to be in front of me.” - John GildeaWe talk about his transition into the GB Paralympic team and how, as the owner of his own company and a family man, he balances life and work.

Now diagnosed with cancer for the 4th time, this unstoppable olympic champion refuses to let it hold him back - or slow him down.“I’m living these two lives and it’s like flipping a coin; if it lands heads, I'm alive.

Can you guess what it is?Later, Clarke talks about the cut-throat selection process in the lead up to the Olympics and how an unpaid utility bill threw a spanner in the works at training camp.

From partying with the Brazilian Ronaldo to almost losing his gold medal, it’s safe to say he had the time of his life.And the fun didn’t stop there. Clarke returned home only to be paraded around his home town in his Kayak (definitely worth a Google), and has since got engaged, become an owner of a dog and won two World Cups. “The chapter’s not finished yet, there’s still more in the tank and whilst I feel like I’ve still got more to achieve, and I’ve still got the drive and hunger to go out and get it, then why stop?” - Joe ClarkeHave a good laugh at Skinner and Hindes’ expense and find out what’s next for Clarke in this entertaining episode of PodCrash.Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.

Want to find out more about the man behind the mic? In a detour from the usual PodCrash format, it’s time for Olympic cyclist and PodCrash co-host, Callum Skinner, to get a grilling!Ben Nichols (our guest from Episode 14), takes on the role of interviewer in this special episode and delves into why Skinner retired from elite cycling in March 2019 and what he’s been up to since.Looking back, Callum describes the long build-up to Rio’s Olympic Games as the ‘ultimate distraction’ in life. But what happens when it’s all over? He gives an insight into what it’s like to win medals at the world’s biggest sporting event and the transition back into training once its all over.“It’s quite easy to put them [athletes] on a pedestal and say they’re invincible but, ultimately, athletes can be some of the most insecure people you’ll ever meet and that’s because they’re judged on their last performance.” - Callum SkinnerWith a frank discussion on mental health, Skinner opens up about the pressure athletes face to perform. He also explains more about Rule 40, a by-law of the Olympic Charter that restricts non-official sponsors from using Olympic-related terms. With many athletes relying on sponsorship from smaller companies, Skinner raises some compromises that could lessen the impact on an athlete’s earning potential.Nichols also asks Skinner about his passion for athlete activism, where he’s been working to improve collaboration between athletes and sporting bodies to raise standards. He also talks more about his role with the UK Anti-Doping Committee, a surreal trip to the White House and collaborating with Science in Sport and Vaaru.Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.

You might have seen the headlines: British Surfer Rides World’s Biggest Wave.But, just as quickly as you can make it, it can crumble in a flash. When the best looking wave he’d ever seen quickly turned into the worst, Cotton was dragged through the surf and left lying on the shore with a broken back. He explains the surfing disaster first hand, as well as the lead up to the fateful accident.We talk to Cotton about chasing storms, respecting the ocean, sharks and the surfing spots he loves.

“You’re an Olympic gold medalist, going for another gold medal and you can’t put your socks on in the morning.” Ed Clancy.During this entertaining instalment of PodCrash, elite cyclists and Olympic medallists Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes are joined by 3X Olympic champion, World Champion and 8X World Record-breaker, Ed Clancy OBE.In this week’s cycling (and life) news; the trio talk about hitting the gym (or not), Skinner’s interview on the Ben Coomber fitness podcast and... dick pics. Plus, there’s a little teaser of what you can expect in Episode 9 of PodCrash.The trio then dive into Clancy’s early career, role models and the white hand-me-down BMX that ignited his passion for cycling. This ultra-successful cyclist opens up about his challenging childhood and how he stays grounded after the euphoric high of the games - and the subsequent lows.“The thing I find that most stabilises me is that i’m just a person like everyone else. I genuinely feel that no matter who you are, where you’re from or what you do, every human has equal value.” - Clancy.In 2015, Clancy experienced a huge setback when, just 10 months away from the Olympic Games, a prolapsed disk left him shuffling down the stairs, barely able to walk or sit. When it got worse, there was no other option but surgery. But, in true Clancy style, his comeback was a defining moment in his career and 4 months later, he was back racing competitively.We talk about diet, Clancy’s favourite sugar-fix and the marginal gains he’ll be making in the lead up to the next Olympics. What are his predictions for Tokyo 2020 and will he hang up his helmet once it’s over? Find out in this jam-packed episode of PodCrash.Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.
