For episode 316 of the Glass and Out Podcast we welcome CEO of Sports Innovation Lab Angela Ruggiero. She is best known as a 4x Olympian and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. She was a senior in high school when she played for Team USA and won gold at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. In 2004 she won the Patty Kaizmeir Award as the top player in college hockey. She was also the first woman to play in a regular season professional hockey game in North America at a position other than goalie when she suited up for the Tulsa Oilers in a Central Hockey League game. However, her list of achievements extend well beyond her career as an athlete.  That includes time as a member of the International Olympic Committee from 2010 to 2018. She served as a member of the Executive Board of the IOC after being elected Chairperson of the IOC Athletes' Commission, the body that represents all Olympic athletes worldwide, a post which she held from 2016 to 2018. She also has an MBA from Harvard and was a senior management associate with Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world. Listen as she shares why learning to love adversity is key to success in life, why utilizing data in sports has to be built on trust, and why athletes are the best opportunity for corporations in the world.

Cabinet announced last week that it has approved for the country to enter Continuous Dialogue with the International Olympic Committee, a preliminary and exploratory engagement that MAY, in time, lead to Targeted Dialogue and the eventual bid to host the Olympic games.

The International Olympic Committee are reportedly going to move to protect women's sport by preventing trans identified males and athletes with DSDs from competing in women's sport. Will this come to pass? We discuss reports on the shift in policy, and raise some key questions. Will the IOC compel screening for sex and testing for advantage? Will they include DSDs in the policy? Will sports be obliged to comply, or remain able to govern eligibility as they please?18:32. Antagonism in antidoping continues, with shots fired between WADA and USADA, this time over The Enhanced Games. WADA think USADA should be doing more to stop the Games, but USADA say they have no authority to act. We discuss their remits, and the damaging mistrust that now exists between them. We also talk about the threat of the Enhanced Games, and USADA's perceptions of why athletes are joining "the doping Olympics"28:59. Staying on doping, US Sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams has been banned for 45 months. The 2022 100m silver medalist got a reduced sentence for co-operation, and we wonder what he shared with authorities, and whether the investigative approach will produce future sanctions?34:09. Chinese teen prodigy Yu Zidi has continued her ascent to the summit of swimming, with a 200m individual medley record that puts her into the conversation for future world and Olympic medalists. We wonder what her trajectory looks like, using a previous Chinese teen phenom to offer a dose of reality.42:18. And Finally, tennis, with another "battle of the sexes" match in December between Aryna Sabelenka and Nick Kyrgios, with a few modifications to neutralize men's power. We talk about those changes, then finish up with a quirky look at the men's tennis rankings that reflect the extraordinary dominance of the current top two.LinksIOC moves to protect women's sportWADA reckons USADA can do more to stop The Enhanced Games from proceedingUSADA does not agree, and respond with some hostilityUSADA statement on the 45 month ban for Marvin Bracy-WilliamsYu Zidi's 200m medley performance sending waves into swimmingKyrgios is confident ahead of the gimmicky battle of the sexes match Hosted on Acast.

What can today's leaders learn from the historical figures such as Julius Caesar or Elizabeth I? In this episode of Coaching Revealed, we interview Dr. Paul Vanderbroeck, leadership researcher, executive coach, and author, about what ancient history reveals about the timeless patterns of power, influence, and human behavior.Drawing from decades of study in both the academic and corporate worlds, Paul shares how his fascination with historical figures has shaped his understanding of modern leadership. Through his lens, leaders from the past become vivid case studies that clarify how to mobilize followers, balance ambition with empathy, and navigate isolation.Along with IOC podcast hosts Emily Terrani and Austin Matzelle, Paul explores how coaches can use historical examples, case studies, and even film characters to help clients break through stuck patterns. They also examine how loneliness, distance, and complexity are reshaping leadership today.In this episode Dr. Vanderbroeck discuss:How historical figures like Julius Caesar reveal both the brilliance and blind spots of leadership.How to build a personal “leadership timeline” to uncover recurring success patterns.Ways coaches can use history and storytelling to reframe client challenges.Whether you're a coach, executive, or student of history, this episode offers a powerful reminder: leadership doesn't just evolve — it echoes.

Will Cain, host of Will Cain Country Live on FOXNews.com and The Will Cain Show on FNC, joined The Guy Benson Show today to dive into a few topics from around the political and sports world. Cain discussed the backlash Pat McAfee faced after his Veterans Day interview with Donald Trump, calling out those who choose to critique the sports host for what is a timely and important interview. Cain also weighed in on the potential ban of transgender women from competing in female Olympic sports, as the IOC has taken this stance after  years of calling on them to take the common sense action. Benson and Cain also broke down the growing divide on the right over Trump's endorsement of H-1B visas for legal immigration. Listen to the full interview below! Learn more about your ad choices.

US Olympic Marathon Trials champion Fiona O'Keeffe joins us at 55:03 to break down her 4th-place finish at the NYC Marathon, how she rebounded from Olympic heartbreak, and what it's like training under Amy and Alistair Cragg. She opens up about her workouts, recovery from injury, and her long-term goals for 2026 and beyond. Before that, we dive into a wild week in track and field: USADA quietly banned Marvin Bracy, the 2022 World 100 m silver medalist, for nearly four years after he provided "substantial assistance" in a federal doping investigation involving the AIU and the DEA. The story first broke through former sprinter Rae Edwards (RaesTake), who claimed Bracy had been serving a secret suspension and said Bracy's then-coach Dennis Mitchell tipped off the authorities after Bracy confided in him about using a PED. The case has sparked major questions about transparency, informants, and how far USADA should go in keeping suspensions hidden. Plus, the IOC bans males from women's sports, Conner and Kylie Mantz headline the Two Cities Marathon, Elise Cranny may be training with Keely Hodgkinson in the UK, and much more.

This week, The Times broke the news that the International Olympic Committee is a step closer to banning transgender women from competing in all female events. So why is the IOC acting now?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support. 9:30 Plus, we cover the top 3 Things You Need to Know. Some Democrats in the Senate appear to have finally caved on the government funding battle. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case over whether or not mail in ballots that arrive after election day may be counted in an election. President Trump issues pardons over the weekend for many conservatives and Republicans accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles. 15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?” Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate. 23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community. 26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate. According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal. 36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter. Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage. 39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101.

Patrick Nally, one of the founding fathers of the sports marketing industry through his agency West Nally, was a true “gamechanger” at the peak of his success. In this episode, we dive deep into Patrick's journey—from leaving school at 15 to pioneering the commercial architecture behind the Olympic Games, FIFA, UEFA, and IAAF. These programs, now worth billions, were shaped by one man's vision. Listen to the stories behind the deals, the drama, and the legacy. And if you want more, grab Patrick's book.   Key Highlights Left school at 15, started as a messenger boy in an advertising agency, moved into PR Learned brand dynamics, met Peter West At 20, launched a new PR division and proposed sport as a “means of communication” — salary: £1,000/year Founded West Nally in the early '70s; early clients included Benson & Hedges, Gillette — across golf, tennis, snooker Grew the agency, moved to larger offices, worked with British Olympics (with BP), brought Kraft into athletics — first bib number sponsorship (1972 & 1976) Expanded internationally — Australia, U.S. — as brands saw sport as a goodwill platform Met Horst Dassler (adidas) in 1974 post–World Cup; FIFA had 5 staff, no money — Patrick found the funding Created FIFA's development program, brought Coca-Cola in — first global media budget in sport Launched projects with IAAF, GAISF, and others; 40–50 staff; new offices in Canada, Japan (with Jack Sakazaki) Brought Sepp Blatter into Coca-Cola's FIFA development program 1978 Argentina World Cup: protected Coca-Cola's rights amid political upheaval; Argentina needed to win — and did Coca-Cola guaranteed the CHF 12 million budget — first World Cup with a commercial structure Olympic stories: began talks with Moscow 1980 organizers in 1976, well before the boycott Deals with Levi's, Wrigley's — early brand integration into Olympic movement Juan Antonio Samaranch begins positioning himself  Summer & Winter Olympics staggered every two years Explored ownership of Olympic rings; signed key National Olympic Committees (NOCs) Driven by desire to achieve; chess-player mindset; failure not an option; importance of the company you keep 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain: launched Inter-Soccer program to connect FIFA and UEFA events Advocated for “clean stadiums” at the Olympics — supported by IOC Director Monique Berlioux  1984 LA Olympics: Peter Ueberroth's commercial breakthrough Horst Dassler stories: son of adidas founder Adi Dassler; payments to Havelange, Primo Nebiolo, and Jean-Marie Weber (“the bag man”)  Golden Series in track & field — precursor to IAAF World Championships At its peak, West Nally had hundreds of staff and offices in London, LA, NY, Tokyo, Australia Early '80s: ISL (International Sport and Leisure) enters — “The Billion Dollar Steal” Dassler asked Patrick to buy him out of SMPI (Monaco); Dentsu made a better offer — ISL was born  Hakuhodo worked closely with West Nally in Japan — triggered Dentsu's move After Horst's death, a war on all fronts; Patrick stepped away Patrick's book: setting the record straight on the creation of the industry and West Nally's legacy What drives him today: Poker Project, UNESCO, World Olympians Association   About Patrick Nally has often been described as the founding father of modern sports marketing. Through West Nally, the company he founded in 1970 with Peter West, he created the blueprint on which much of sports marketing is based to this day. His vision and innovation have shaped the way the sports business operates. Patrick's work created a revolution in sports marketing which involved the identification, ownership and branding of rights and assets, which could then be packaged and offered to category specific sponsors. This seminal advance ensured valuable exclusivity over a defined and protected set of rights for sponsor brands and, in doing so, ensured that rights owners benefited from previously unheard of fee levels while brands were empowered to create powerful and hugely effective campaigns. It was an approach, which demanded a fresh mind-set from governing bodies, and event hosts, which had previously struggled to manage commercial activities. His approach was the foundation of both FIFA's and the IOC's long term marketing strategy Patrick was responsible for bringing Coca Cola into football; first as the corporate backer of FIFA's global development programme, then as a founder member of the Inter Soccer 4 programme which generated previously unimaginable sponsorship revenues for major FIFA and UEFA competitions. He continues to work with many of the world's best-known brands and leading sports properties and Federations to create outstanding commercial value and marketing benefit for all parties. One of his current roles is to support, as President, the International Federation of Match Poker – a Mind Sport in an eSport wrapper. For an activity to be recognized as a sport. A “sport” must; contain an element of competition  not rely on any element of “luck” specifically integrated into the sport and not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier. Nally pioneered the development of Match Poker as a digital method of playing poker, and specifically designed to offer poker as an official world sport”. To meet the definition of “sport”, Match Poker was designed so that a large part of the luck inherent in poker was removed and was achieved by having the same cards dealt to players in corresponding positions each time the hand is played – followed by the same flop, turn and river. A player's performance is then judged not on how much he won or lost on a hand, but rather by comparing his play with that of every other player who had played that hand. To remove any ‘human error' Match Poker doesn't use cards or chips and is fully digital. Nally remains one of the best-connected individuals and most effective radical thinkers in sports marketing and is at the heart of thought-leadership in the sector through his consultancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Nally   Follow us on our social sites for the latest updates Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sportsentrepreneurs/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marcusluerpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sports-entrepreneurs Website: https://marcusluer.com Podcast: https://marcusluer.com/podcast To get in touch, please email us at podcast@marcusluer.com Feel Good by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyaden Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_feel-good Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/bvgIqqRStcQ

With southern China's culture and cross-regional integration presented in a visual spectacle, a gala ceremony left the entire Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area stoked on Sunday as President Xi Jinping declared the 15th National Games open in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.上周日，习近平主席在广东省省会广州宣布第十五届全国运动会开幕。这场盛典以视觉盛宴的形式展现了中国南方文化与区域协同发展成果，让整个粤港澳大湾区为之沸腾。Launched in 1959 to promote mass sports participation, China's National Games have opened a new chapter with the groundbreaking 2025 edition, being jointly held for the first time in Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions. The 15th National Games kicked off with great fanfare, celebrating their influence in pulling the Greater Bay Area further together, not just in sports exchanges but also in terms of cultural and economic cohesion.全国运动会始于1959年，旨在推动群众体育参与。2025年第十五届全运会开创性地由广东省与香港、澳门特别行政区首次联合承办，为这一赛事翻开了崭新篇章。本届全运会的盛大开幕，不仅彰显了其在促进大湾区体育交流中的作用，更在文化融合与经济联结层面推动大湾区进一步凝聚，意义深远。After overseeing the parade of athletes and a series of ceremonial rituals, Xi announced the opening of the domestic sporting gala — held once every four years with a competition program similar to that of the Olympics — to rousing cheers from the crowd of over 80,000 at Guangdong Olympic Sports Center Stadium.在检阅运动员方阵、见证一系列仪式环节后，习近平主席宣布这一国内体育盛会正式开幕。全运会每四年举办一届，竞赛项目设置与奥运会相近，现场8万余名观众在广东奥林匹克体育中心体育场内爆发出热烈欢呼。Before attending the ceremony, Xi met on Sunday afternoon in Guangzhou with individuals and representatives of various sports groups, who were honored as role models of mass fitness and competitive sports promotion.开幕仪式前，习近平主席于周日下午在广州会见了获评群众健身与竞技体育推广模范的个人及各类体育团体代表。Kirsty Coventry, the new president of the International Olympic Committee and Thomas Bach, the IOC's honorary president for life, were among guests at the opening ceremony.国际奥委会新任主席柯丝蒂・考文垂与国际奥委会终身名誉主席托马斯・巴赫出席了开幕式。As the largest edition of the games, in numbers of participants and host cities, the Greater Bay Area games feature 419 medal events across 34 sports, involving over 14,000 professional athletes on its competitive program. A parallel mass sports program has also engaged more than 1 million amateurs in preliminary rounds of 166 events since February.本届全运会是参赛人数最多、主办城市最广的一届：竞赛项目涵盖34个大项、419个奖牌项目，有1.4万余名专业运动员参赛；同步开展的群众体育项目自今年2月起已举办166个项目的预选赛，吸引超100万名业余爱好者参与。As an early highlight of the night, a joint delegation of athletes representing Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao marched together at the end of the athletes' parade, drawing warm applause from the crowd.当晚的一大亮点出现在运动员入场仪式尾声——粤港澳联合代表团共同入场，赢得现场观众热烈掌声。As part of an extensive display of the history and culture of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, the opening ceremony presented traditional activities and art, ranging from dragon boat racing and lion dances to drum and gong performances in an intriguingly immersive fashion, enhanced by modern technology and dazzling audiovisual effects.开幕式以极具沉浸感的方式，结合现代科技与绚丽视听效果，集中展示了粤港澳三地的历史文化，呈现了龙舟竞渡、舞狮、锣鼓表演等传统活动与艺术形式。The lion dancers brought the crowd to its feet, taking advantage of virtual reality technology that made the performance even more spectacular, before the racing dragon boats drew "oohs" and "aahs" from spectators who, aided by augmented reality technology, felt as if the boats were being paddled into the crowd.舞狮表演借助虚拟现实技术，场面愈发壮观，引得观众起立喝彩；随后的龙舟竞渡环节，在增强现实技术的助力下，观众仿佛看到龙舟向自己驶来，纷纷发出惊叹。During the jubilant performances, iconic landmarks, such as Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macao and the Canton Tower in Guangzhou, took shape as 3D background projections, showcasing unique attractions of the Greater Bay Area's past and present.在热烈的表演过程中，香港维多利亚港、澳门大三巴牌坊、广州塔等标志性建筑以3D背景投影形式呈现，展现了粤港澳大湾区古今交融的独特魅力。Huang Kunming, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Party chief of Guangdong province, delivered a speech in which he extended his warm welcome to all participants.中共中央政治局委员、广东省委书记黄坤明致辞，向全体参与者表示热烈欢迎。"The National Games being held together by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao will write a new chapter of the integrated development of the Greater Bay Area. We will play a generous host to present a streamlined, safe and splendid sporting extravaganza," he said.他指出：“粤港澳三地共同承办全运会，将书写大湾区协同发展的新篇章。我们将当好东道主，呈现一届简约、安全、精彩的体育盛会。”Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and Macao Chief Executive Sam Hou-fai both pledged to build on the games' momentum to further facilitate sports, cultural and economic collaborations across the Greater Bay Area.香港特别行政区行政长官李家超与澳门特别行政区行政长官贺一诚均表示，将借全运会东风，进一步推动粤港澳大湾区在体育、文化、经济领域的合作。"This 15th edition not only represents an innovation of the National Games, but also accelerates Hong Kong's integration into the overall development of the country," Lee said in his speech.李家超在致辞中表示：“第十五届全运会不仅是全运会的一次创新，更将加速香港融入国家发展大局。”Sam said the games "will help build a brighter future of the GBA as yet another example of the significance of the 'one country, two systems' policy".贺一诚则指出：“本届全运会将为大湾区建设更美好的未来注入动力，是‘一国两制'实践意义的又一生动例证。”As a symbolic milestone of the games, the men's road cycling race charted a 230-kilometer route linking Zhuhai, a co-host city in Guangdong, with Hong Kong and Macao on Saturday, marking the first ever cross-boundary sporting event held in the Greater Bay Area.作为本届全运会的标志性事件，男子公路自行车赛于周六开启了一条连接广东协办城市珠海与香港、澳门的230公里赛道，这是粤港澳大湾区首次举办跨境体育赛事。For the exciting finale, three renowned athletes — Hong Kong's Olympic champion fencer Cheung Ka-long, Guangdong's star sprinter Su Bingtian and Macao martial artist Li Yi — completed the final leg of the torch relay before together igniting a flame ring as the games' main cauldron.在激动人心的圣火点燃环节，三位知名运动员——香港奥运击剑冠军张家朗、广东短跑名将苏炳添、澳门武术运动员李毅完成最后一棒火炬传递，共同点燃环形主火炬台，宣告赛事正式启动。cohesion/kəʊˈhiːʒn/n.凝聚力；结合；团结groundbreaking/ˈɡraʊndbreɪkɪŋ/adj.开创性的；突破性的；革新的Immersive/ɪˈmɜːsɪv/adj.沉浸式的；有沉浸感的

Peringatan keras dari Komite Olimpiade Internasional (IOC) kepada Indonesia terkait penolakan terhadap keikutsertaan atlet Israel menjadi alarm serius bagi dunia olahraga tanah air. Jika tidak disikapi dengan bijak, Indonesia berisiko mendapat sanksi hingga pembekuan dari ajang olahraga internasional.Agar hal ini tidak merugikan atlet dan prestasi Indonesia di pentas dunia, pemerintah bersama Komite Olimpiade Indonesia perlu segera membangun komunikasi diplomatik dengan IOC. Keputusan dan sikap politik harus dipisahkan dari semangat sportivitas olahraga.Selain itu, perlu ditegaskan bahwa dukungan terhadap isu kemanusiaan bisa tetap disuarakan tanpa mengorbankan hak atlet untuk bertanding. Dunia olahraga seharusnya menjadi ruang persatuan, bukan perpecahan.Pertanyaannya kini, mampukah Indonesia menyeimbangkan prinsip politik luar negeri dengan komitmen menjaga marwah olahraga di mata dunia?Talk : Peneliti Komunikasi Olahraga & Dosen Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Jakartaa, DR.

IOC to Tell Members Not to Hold Events in Indonesia for Visa Denial to Israelis

In the late 1960s, Denver's business and political leaders were convinced they had secured the ultimate prize in international sport: the 1976 Winter Olympic Games. With the backing of the US Olympic Committee and a successful bid before the International Olympic Committee, Colorado seemed poised to showcase itself on the world stage. But just two years later, that dream collapsed in spectacular fashion — when the state's voters did the unthinkable, and told the Olympics to go elsewhere. This week, we explore the fascinating saga of the “Olympics that never happened” with cultural historian and UNC Greensboro professor Adam Berg, author of "The Olympics That Never Happened: Denver '76 and the Politics of Growth." Berg examines how an elite coalition of boosters and officials promised a glittering event, only to face escalating costs, shaky logistics, environmental concerns, and — most importantly — a grassroots multi-issue opposition movement that united environmentalists, taxpayer advocates, and suburban "NIMBY" homeowners. It's a story that goes far beyond sport — one about power, growth, democracy, and the limits of civic boosterism in a rapidly changing/modernizing Colorado. Berg reveals how the defeat of the Games energized a new political consciousness, launched the career of future governor Richard Lamm, and reshaped how host cities and the IOC think about public consent for mega-events. It's one of the most remarkable “what-ifs” in Olympic history — and a story whose impact still resonates today. + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "The Olympics That Never Happened: Denver '76 and the Politics of Growth": https://amzn.to/48moE7T SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

Three Buddy Problem - Episode 60: We dissect a fresh multi-agency Salt Typhoon advisory (with IOCs and YARA rules!), why it landed late, why the wall of logos matters (and doesn't), and what's actually usable for defenders: new YARA, tool hashes, naming ambiguity across reports, the mention of Chinese vendors, and a Dutch note that smaller ISPs were hit. Plus, Costin details his hunting stack and philosophy (historic IOC/malware hoarding, fast pivots, and AI as analyst “wingman”) and a new Chinese APT report that may intersect with LightBasin and the murky PSOA world. We also debate Google's proposed “cyber disruption unit” versus Microsoft's DCU (legal vs. “ethical” takedowns, PR, and business models); react to Anthropic's report on real attacker use of Claude; note Amazon's APT29 watering-hole disruption; and close on a fresh WhatsApp-to-ImageIO zero-click chain and practical phone OPSEC.

In this episode, we dive into the less obvious signs of under-recovery, and why your nervous system, not just your habits, might be the missing piece. But first, we chat about what 5 key aspects to focus on if you're knee-deep in a fall marathon prep. Then, we break down what recovery actually means, how cortisol and hormone shifts affect your sleep and progress, and why fueling and stress perception play a bigger role than you think.Whether you're an endurance athlete, a lifter, or just someone trying to train with intention, this episode will help you rethink how you approach rest, training adaptation, and energy. Because more effort isn't always the answer, smarter recovery is.We'll also give you a clear checklist to spot recovery gaps and practical strategies you can start using today.www.trainmk.com@melissa_kendterMcEwen, B.
