Ronan Deane The Canadian National Championship 2024 is set to be the largest Gaelic Games event in Canada, bringing together athletes and fans from across Canada and the United States. This exciting two-day event will showcase the best of Gaelic sports

My guest today is Svein Tuft.He is the  character straight out of the Jack London book "The Call of the Wild"He was professional cyclings unconventional cyclist, but his unconventional approach is what made him so successful. He knew what worked for him, he knew how to extract the best of himself for his success and his team's success. He famously dragged the peloton for 190km in the Italian stage race Tirreno-Adriatico.He won thirteen Canadian National Championships, represented Canada at the Olympic Games, was part of the Orica-GreenEdge team for 8 years, he was the driving force in time trial victory on stage 1 of the 2014 Giro d'Italia, where he spent time in the maglia rosa leaders jersey. He raced in the Tour de France, Giro D'Italia, the Vuelta a Espana, the one-day classics and week-long stage races, and he secured the silver medal in the time trial at the 2008 UCI Road World Championships.When he wasn't clocking up thousands of kilometres on the paved roads as a professional cyclist,  he was escaping to the wilds of Andorra and British Colombia on epic adventures into the unknown. His true calling is to discover and explore trails and single tracks into the mountains and wilderness. He is happiest when he is out on a ski touring adventure into the backcountry or humping his gravel bike over some monstrous mountain pass into the unknown.On today's show,  We talk about all this and more, so I think you are going to enjoy listening to Svein's adventures.Hello friends, I am your host ASHLEY PETTIT welcome to another episode of Beyond the Mountains podcast. Where I talk to people who live, work and play in the mountains.

Mandy Bujold, an 11-time national champion and two-time Canadian Olympic boxer, shares her journey in both the construction industry and the world of boxing with host Lisa Laronde. Reflecting on her experiences, she candidly discusses the hurdles encountered as a female boxer and the strides made in advancing women's boxing, recounting her road to the Olympics, which included a legal battle against the world's largest sports organization, the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was single-handedly the most important fight of her career, in which she waged to compete post-motherhood, underscoring the imperative for gender equality in sports and beyond. Not content with personal achievements alone, Mandy initiated the 'Champions for Charity' program, dedicated to raising funds for McMaster Children's Hospital. Mandy exemplifies resilience and advocacy in both her professional and athletic pursuits, leading to a change in the landscape of women's sports for years to come.  Mandy Bujold is one of the most decorated Canadian Olympic boxers in history. Included amongst her many achievements are 11 Canadian National Championships, 3 Continental Championships, a Gold medal at the first Pan American Games and a Bronze medal at the first Commonwealth Games that included women's boxing. Mandy is also the first Canadian female boxer to represent Canada at two Olympic Games. In the lead-up to Tokyo Mandy's won a precedent-setting case against the IOC, in a fight for gender equity, that will help change the landscape of women's sports for years to come. She recently joined the Grand Valley Construction Association as their Industry and Community Partnerships Manager. She will spend her time fostering community, championing health and safety, and advancing women in construction and trades. Topics Gender equality remains paramount across all sectors, from construction to sports. Challenges should be reframed as chances for personal growth and learning, rather than as impediments. Building a solid support network is essential for overcoming obstacles effectively. Celebrating small victories and embracing the journey are crucial for continuous personal and professional development.

We look at the somewhat underwhelming Canadian Nationals 2024 event, with surprise wins from Wesley Chiu and Kaiya Ruiter (except we predicted that one!), and flawed performances from gold-winning favorites Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps and Gilles & Poirier.   Canadian Nationals 2024 Commentary and Analysis The 2024 Canadian National Championships in Calgary saw some great performances, but unfortunately quite a few more disappointments. From the highs of Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier winning their third national title, to the struggles of many of the favorites in the men's and women's competitions, it was a challenging event that suffered (but sustained) through low attendance, no broadcast parter, and sub-zero temperatures. Ice Dance Competition As the marquee event of the National Championships, there was certainly pressure on the top teams to perform well — and Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier met that challenge to take their third national title. Their rhythm dance was a bit tighter than usual here, but their free dance continues to evolve and get stronger, which bodes well for them going into Four Continents and the World Championships. With the withdrawals of both Lawrence Fournier-Beaudry & Nikolaj Sorensen and Marjorie Lajiois & Zak Lagha, the door was open for two other fantastic Canadian dance teams — Marie-Jade Lauriault & Romain Le Gac and Alicia Fabbri & Paul Ayer — to take their respective and well-earned podium spots. Men's Competition Wesley Chiu threw down a great short program, which helped sustain him through a nervous free skate and bolster him to win his first national title. The silver and bronze medalists, Aleksa Rakic and Anthony Paradis, were both a bit surprising. Paradis, who is just 16 years old, showed remarkable artistic ability and professionalism through an equipment malfunction to land on the podium — which may have been the highlight of the whole comp. Coming into this event, three of the favorites were Conrad Orzel, Stephen Gogolev, and — returning to competition after a year — former Canadian National Champ, Roman Sadovsky. All three men had rough short programs that pushed them far down in the standings. Gogolev had to withdraw due to injury before the long, and neither Orzel nor Sadovsky were able to recover well enough to make the podium. Pairs Competition As expected, the remarkable team of Deanna Stellato-Dukek & Maxime Dechamps retained their national title — but it was not easy. Their short program had more errors than they typically see, still landing them in first but only barely. However, in their free program, they skated mostly clean and polished after messy side-by-side jumps to easily take the victory. In second, the on-the-rise team of Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud had a solid short program to stay close. After a less stellar free skate, the team comfortably landed in the silver spot ahead of Kelly Ann Laurin & Loucas Éthier. Womens Competition This discipline saw the upset of the event with 17 year-old Kaiya Ruiter taking her first national title. While her short program was not what she'd hoped for, Kaiya came back with a strong free skate that put her well ahead of the expected winner, Madeline Schizas. Schizas had a solid short program, but struggled with her jumps and her energy on the ice during the free skate. The result was disappointing, but should keep Maddie's spot on the World team assured. In third, the young Hetty Shi skated well enough to take second in the free skate behind Kaiya and end up with her first senior national medal.

At 24-years-old, Julia Kern is quickly becoming a seasoned veteran in her 7th year on the U.S. Ski Team. However, her career trajectory has been stepwise, not exponential. After making breakthroughs during the 2019-20 season, including her first World Cup podium in a skate sprint in Planica, Slovenia, she faced injuries and setbacks heading into the following season in 2020-2021, leaving her walking away from that season feeling disappointed in both her World Cup and World Championship racing. Reflecting on her takeaways in an interview that summer, she said “Progress isn't linear from season to season.”Recently named the recipient of the US Nordic Olympic Women's Gold Rush Award for her grit and grace as a professional skier, Julia has demonstrated what it takes to rebound, reframe, and move past these challenges. As she describes in this conversation, the start of Julia's 2021-22 race season happened in fits and starts – some strong early-season results with promising body sensations followed by a series of untimely mild illnesses. After catching a cold midway through the Tour de Ski in early January, she suddenly was faced with the reality that she would not have any opportunities to race until arriving in Zhangjiakou for the Olympics over a month later – the longest race break of her career. Her first Olympic appearance took place in the opening event, the 15 k skiathlon, where Julia finished 53rd. The individual freestyle sprint three days later was her goal race; Julia qualified in 14th and raced a gutsy quarterfinal, ultimately finishing fourth in the heat and 18th overall on the day. A myriad of factors left her wanting more from this first Olympic experience, though she approached it without placing high expectations on herself. Rebounding once more after the Games, Julia began a tear of World Cup sprints in Period IV. She was 8th in the freestyle sprint in Lahti, 7th in the classic sprint the following week in Drammen, and finished just off the podium in fourth in the World Cup Finals in Falun. From there, she headed to Whistler to finish the season at the joint Canadian National Championships and US SuperTour Finals, where she took second to Jessie Diggins in Jessie's signature 5 k freestyle event, and won the remaining three races.During this conversation, Julia discusses the highs and lows of the season, as well as how she has been able to compartmentalize and move past setbacks over the past few years of navigating the transition to the World Cup. We also discuss her start in the sport, why the Stratton Mountain School (SMS) T2 Team has been a good fit for her, and how leaning into other creative outlets, passions and work helps energize her for the long haul.Thanks for listening and thanks to New Moon Bike and Ski for supporting this podcast. 

This week we talk with professional bike racer, Maghalie Rochette, from Quebec, Canada. She is good. Really good. Maghalie came in 2nd in the Canadian National Championships, September, 2021; Is three-times Canadian Cyclocross Champion, three-times Pan American Cyclocross Champion and a Cyclocross World Cup winner. She has her sights set on greater goals this season! But what, you may be asking, does this have to do with beekeeping? Good question! We all know we beekeepers are a generally thought of as being a bit odd to most other people. Admittedly, most people think anyone who willingly puts their bare hands into a box of thousands of stinging insects, is, let's say, eccentric. That distinction is something we also wear as a badge of distinction and honor. We we see the beauty in the honey bee and the hive. So Kim and Jeff thought, let's turn this back on itself. Who are the beekeepers who you would never guess are beekeepers? Recently, they talked with the NYPD Official Beekeepers, Darren Mays. He wears a badge and pistol along with his smoker and hive tool.  Today's guest, Maghalie is paid to ride bikes fast and she wears lycra to work. Not your typical beekeeper. Listen to today's episode to learn how beekeeping and bike racing are actually quite complementary.  Anyone can be a beekeeper! We hope you enjoy the episode.

Rebecca and I share our experiences with psilocybin mushrooms. --------------------------------------------------- Rebecca Mattison has established herself as one of the country's most promising Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes. Her life as an athlete began long before BJJ where she first began as a competitive dancer and then kettle-bell calisthenics trainer. At age 21 after recovering from fracturing her spine in 2012, she got a taste for BJJ when a friend taught her some basic positions. The feeling of being able to protect herself motivated her to pursue BJJ. Five weeks into practicing BJJ, Rebecca placed 1st at The Capital City Championship. The same year, only five months later, Rebecca went to The International Novice Championship. The following year, she competed at the same competition and placed 3rd. To date, Rebecca has made it to the podium at top tournaments such as PanAmerican Championships, multiple IBJJF International Opens, and Canadian National Championships throughout her colored belts.

The global pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented halt to many sports activities and the massive industry that surrounds it. As the industry reopens, now is the time to consider change and improvement. The Take turns to Perdita Felicien to talk about her experiences in Canada’s sport sector and her ideas for where we’re headed as a country. 

Today we are speaking with Derek Thomas.   We first got in touch with Derek after publishing Episode 12 with Don Murray. Although Don is from Australia and Derek from Canada we heard how they traveled Europe together in search of trials.   Well now we get to hear Derek's side of the story.   Derek spent a number of years riding in Europe competing in 15 rounds between '92-99, has represented Canada at the TdN multiple times, competed in the US NATC and has 5 podiums in the Canadian National Championships.   More recently though, he has been a driving force in bringing trials to an area of Canada that you normally wouldn't expect: the flat lands of Saskatchewan province.   In addition to that, the Saskatchewan Flatland Trials Association have hosted Canadian Nationals and Derek is now on the board of Directors for the CMA.   It's a great chat and also follows on nicely from Episode 32 with our other Canadian guest Christy Williams Richards.   I hope you enjoy this chat with Derek Thomas.   Links: https://www.facebook.com/saskflatlandtrials Episode 32: Christy Williams Richards: https://trials.com.au/news/ep-32-christy-williams-richards-and-a-life-among-a-family-of-wierdos-5265 Episode 12: Don Murray: https://trials.com.au/news/ep-12-don-murray-the-self-confessed-trials-tragic-5160   Feedback: podcast@trials.com.au

For 24 years, Joannie had trained to be in this position.  She entered the Olympics, with 12 gold medals in the last 12 consecutive Canadian National Championships.  Along the way she had picked up international medals in China, the Grand Prix, and Russia -- competing in 39 different competitions.  She practiced until she turned her 17th place showing at the World Championships into 2nd place just five years later-- officially becoming the vice-World Champion.  And now the Olympics. The stage was set.  Expectations ran high.  Her practices were flawless. Two days before she was scheduled to perform, just as she was waking up to begin her final practice, she was startled by a surprise visit from her father, Norman. What do you think? Let's talk about it >> http://edgy.es/fbgroup
