Snowboard cross silver medallist Jarryd Hughes joins Summer Saturday live in the studio.
Strap your bits in because today's cast is a doozy. We cover Jarryd Hughes as he flies under the radar to claim silver, to the dismay of Aussie papers who didn't pick it. Minnow Mania finally becomes a reality as Martins Dukurs (LAT) attempts to get his shit together and Pita Taufatofua (TGA) tries not to hit a tree in the Cross Country 15km (his words). Our cultural journey also continues, with Korea offering up zombie apocalypse 7-11s, luxury ride sharing and a language we just cannot even come close to mastering the basics of. Get your listening gear around it!
Jarryd Hughes is a massive sports nut, but also a gun at snowboard cross, so much so that he won gold at the Winter X Games in 2016. He sat down with Shannon and Fiona to discuss his career to date, including the drama surrounding the Australian team during his first appearance at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, how he maintains a strict diet to stay at peak condition and the steps he goes through before and during a race to ensure he is fully prepared. They toss around some of their favourite sports, people and music and some of his favourite places to hit the snow. Plus, the million dollar question is raised again: Does he travel with his own pillow?
