Podcast appearances and mentions of junior worlds

‘Scuba Steve' dives in to 'Torq Moto'It's time again for another episode of the 'Torq Moto Podcast Show' with hosts Doc Wobs and ‘Jeffro' Perrett as they once again sit down with a guest to talk about their career and opinions. This time around they're joined by former junior World 85cc, Loretta Lynn's and European 250cc motocross champion, Steven ‘Scuba' Clarke. In this first of two episodes ‘Clarkey' talks through his journey to becoming a world champion, how it all started and the huge influence his dad Richard has had on his progression. Steve talks fondly of his days racing youth motocross, even though by his own admission he wasn't any good, but that all changed after his first trip to the Millsaps Training Facility (MTF) in Georgia, USA. It was a ‘penny drop' moment for Steve and he came away from there knowing he wanted to be a professional racer and what he had to do to get there. Here he talks candidly about the sacrifices made by himself and his family to not only win the 2005 Junior World 85cc title but also the 2007 Loretta Lynn's Schoolboy 2 14-16 title beating the likes of Jose Butron, Valentin Teillet and Dean Wilson along the way to both championships and what life was like on the road and living in America as a teenager. You can listen to episode one of the ‘Steven Clarke interview' on the Torq Moto Podcast show on either Spotify or Apple or watch the interview on the ‘Torq Moto' YouTube channel from 7pm this coming Thursday 15th May, where you can also find all previous episodes.

I recap the top 3 in all disciplines + all Team USA athletes at the 2024 Junior World Championships!

We look back at the extremely impressive Junior Worlds 2024 championships, including the showdown between Mao Shimada and Jia Shin in the Women's event, an expected win from dance team Neset & Markelo, shaky success for pairs team Metelkinda & Berulava, and star making performances from Rena Uezono and Anthony Paradis.   This week, we're recapping the 2024 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. While we haven't always been avid junior competition viewers, this competition may be the catalyst that gets us more in tune with them! From a brilliant, burgeoning rivalry between Mao Shimada and Jia Shin in the Women's competition, to the rising star performances from the gold medal-winning dance team of Leah Neset & Artem Markelov, there was a lot to be excited about. Women's Competition The premier event of Junior Worlds had to be the Women's competition, thanks to a ridiculously deep field of talented women who, for the most part, all turned in fantastic skates. The gold was expected to come down to either Japan's Mao Shimada and South Korea's Jia Shin — and these two women made it a nail biter. With her poise, flow, and skill, Jia Shin won the short program over Shimada. However, in the free skate, while both skated near-flawlessly, Mao edged out Jia with her quad toe loop and overall technical excellence. With competitions like these, we cannot wait to see these two compete head-to-head for years to come. Jumping into third with an astounding free skate, Japan's 13 year-old Rena Uezono lit up the arena and made her way to a bronze medal. Rounding out the top ten were all fantastic skaters — from Finland's Iida Karhunen to Sherry Zhang from the US and Canada's Lulu Lin. We even saw solid skates from those much further down in the ranks, including Josephine Lee from the US, Kaiya Ruiter from Canada, and the Kim twins from South Korea. All in all, this competition made us optimistic for the future of Women's skating. Pairs Competition As predicted by many, the gold here went to the talented Georgian pair of Anastasia Metelkina & Luka Berulava — though this win was not as dominant as many would have expected. This team has a solid chance of medaling at Senior Worlds in a few weeks, and this free skate was not one they would have hoped to have here leading into that competition. Still, they took the title by more than 12 points and have some time to look at what went wrong before heading to Montreal. The silver and bronze both went to young American teams — Olivia Flores & Luke Wang and Naomi Williams & Lachlan Lewer, respectively. Both teams had exceptional short programs, and flawed but solid free skates. Flores & Wang, however, brought quite a bit more difficulty to their skate and looked strong overall. These are certainly teams to watch for in the future! Men's Competition This was the closest competition of the event, with gold being taken by Minkyu Seo by just over a point. This talented South Korean had a solid short program, but a slightly less compelling free skate. However, the silver medalist — Japan's Rio Nakata — was in 5th after the short, so needed made up quite a bit of ground to win the free skate and take the second spot. In with the bronze, Adam Hagara from Slovakia became the first Slovakian skater to earn a Junior Worlds medal. While there were many other strong skaters in this field, the one we felt the most excited about is Canada's Anthony Paradis. This young skater came in 15th, but scored remarkably high PCS marks and had the most identity and overall skating quality on the ice in this field. What he lacks in jumps he makes up for in commitment — and we eagerly await a time when he can bring it all together for a run at international podiums.

There are many routes into biathlon. Grace Castonguay is part of a new generation of athletes who are finding the sport and moving quickly up the ranks. A passionate runner, Castonguay only got into cross-country skiing when an injury curtailed her running. She loved it! Just a few years later, she made her World Cup debut in December 2023, racing in Hochfilzen and Lenzerheide.When Castonguay first stepped onto skis during high school in 2019, she passionately embraced the sport. Together with her younger brother Theo, they traveled around the New Hampshire high school circuit. In her senior year, she helped the Kennett High School Eagles – Sean Doherty's alma mater – win a state title.The vital step in her storybook tale came when she accompanied Theo to a fall biathlon camp at Utah's Soldier Hollow in October 2020. There, she caught the attention of coach Zach Hall, who invited her to the biathlon range. Now she was really hooked! She progressed quickly. The next March (2021), she raced in her first biathlon event – U.S. Nationals at West Yellowstone. In October 2021, she was the second and third junior in races at the Soldier Hollow Schutzenski trials. While she failed to make the Junior Worlds team out of trials, she doubled down on cross-country, transferring mid-year to ski for St. Michael's College.That December (2022), she posted strong results again during trial races at Craftsbury, qualifying for the IBU Cup and eventually the IBU Youth and Junior World Championships in Kazakhstan, where she had the top U.S. women's results in both sprint and pursuit.Her success on the college carnival circuit and with biathlon has created a bit of a juggling act for Castonguay, which she is embracing. As the team captain for the Purple Knights, she's committed to the college schedule in January and February. But she is also looking to take advantage of her biathlon opportunity, going to Europe for the first races of the second trimester before heading back to ski for St. Michael's. In the back of her mind, she realizes that the NCAA Championships in Steamboat Springs overlap with the IBU World Cup in Soldier Hollow in early March.Needless to say, it will be a busy season. But for a young athlete who only slid on a ski track four years ago, she's anxious to embrace every single opportunity, be that as a member of the Ethan Allen Biathlon Club, the St. Michael's Purple Knights, or the U.S. Biathlon Team.Here's a sampling of what you'll learn in this episode of Heartbeat. This is a remarkable story of a young athlete's passion for sport and the emotions that athletic success can bring.So, Grace, that was a long road trip!This was my longest span of time in Europe – my longest time away from home forever. It was about a month and a half on the road.How did you originally get into skiing?So the punchline of this story is that I actually did not learn to ski, or step foot on skis, until four years ago. So, I am pretty much a baby in this sport. I grew up playing soccer and running cross country. When I was 14, I broke my leg playing soccer, and that kind of switched me fully into the endurance mode or lifestyle. I ran high school cross country and was really into running. I wanted to run Division 1 in college. That was my big goal. And then, because of the lasting, effects of my broken leg – I broke my tibia and fibula, which caused my growth plates to close. – running just really did not suit my body. I broke down a lot. My mom became the high school Nordic coach for our team so my brother could enter races. My indoor track season ended a little early and she was like, ‘Come on. Like, don't you want to join the team? It will look good on college resumes.' And I figured, hey, why not? I entered my first Nordic ski race about three weeks after I learned to ski. I looked like Bambi on ice skates. What clicked for you when Zach Hall invited you to the range in Soldier Hollow?I had shot a biathlon rifle before because my brother was a biathlete, but I hadn't really caught the biathlon bug at that point. So I figured, okay, why not? I'll go to this practice. I'm here. Something to do. And I went to that practice that day, and things clicked for me. I really started to see why people love this sport. One of the big things was that Zach identified that I am left-eye dominant despite being right-handed. And when I had shot a biathlon rifle before, I was shooting righty and I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. So once we figured out that I was left-eye dominant, that made a huge difference to how I felt about the sport. And I also just really enjoyed the way he explained the process. Zach is a really phenomenal coach in a multitude of ways. He's really great at the mental aspect of sport. I remember going home that day from practice, and I said to myself, ‘I want to be really good at this.' And I remember watching videos of Dorothy Revier and her extremely fast standing shooting time. And I was like, ‘I want to be this good someday.' So, from that point, my goal is kind of shifted gears all in towards biathlon. There was no operating biathlon range in Jackson at that point, so my brother and I built a little range in our backyard because we live kind of in a pretty remote place, and I would just shoot.What was your biggest takeaway from Junior Worlds?The biggest thing I took away from competing at Junior Worlds was just how amazing the IBU sport family is. It was my first Junior Worlds. It just felt so wonderful to be part of such a rich and large group of really high-level junior athletes. I remember going to the opening ceremony, and it was it was just really cool to be there.You're passionate about biathlon. What does it mean for you to dig deep?There's there's this place that has – it's a really fun place to go, and I don't get it very often. You can only capture it for a couple of races a season, where you're just like, you have this moment and I need to dig deeper than I've ever dug before. You can see it like I was never passing out at the finish line, like laying on the ground after a cross-country running race. But you push yourself so hard in Nordic skiing, and I really enjoyed that.Did you watch videos?Oh, yeah! YouTube basically taught me how to ski. YouTube was my best friend. I would just watch technique videos religiously and then try to capture that image in my brain and replicate it on skis the next day.What was your debut like on Hochfilzen?Going into the training day, I showed up and I was just, like, star-struck. There are so many cameras. There are so many superstars. And it was really hard to not get distracted on the range – like following in awe of some of the greats like Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold and Lisa Vittozzi. It was really a super cool experience. Then getting to the race day, just the noise. Oh my gosh, the noise is so incredibly loud. The sound just kind of envelops you and it's hard to hear your own thoughts. And also another really surprising thing is how many USA fans there were. I was I remember warming up on the course and just hearing USA, USA and people knew my name and that was really special.What was your emotion when finishing your first World Cup?I remember finishing the race and my only goal going into my first World Cup start was I wanted to recapture the feeling of pure joy that I had felt in my very first Nordic ski race four years prior. I remember finishing this the race and my whole body was just shaking from the energy and the noise and the thrill of having this huge, huge accomplishment under my belt. I mean, making the World Cup has been the dream since I started. So it was really a huge culmination of emotions crossing that finish line. It was also really special because my mom flew out to watch the race and I actually could hear her yelling for me above all the fans!Follow Grace Castonguay@grace.castonguay

But, today, she enters her third season as a coach – leading one of America's most noted biathlon programs, studying with coaches from nearly 20 nations at International Biathlon Union workshops and serving as a role model for women in coaching. Most of all, she's feeling gratified by the experience and having fun giving back to the next generation of biathletes.Phaneuf, who was featured in season one of Heartbeat with an episode entitled Finding Her Way Back, has truly found her way back. From introducing the sport to Alaskan children north of the Arctic Circle to teaching kids in Lake Placid how to gently squeeze the trigger, she is finding a meaningful pathway in the sport as a coach.After losing her Olympic opportunity in PyeongChang due to race-morning strep throat, she battled with depression, stepping away from racing. During her sabbatical she volunteered on a NANANordic/Skiku trip to Noorvik, Alaska – which opened her eyes on what she had to offer as a coach. She came back in 2020-21 for one of her best seasons ever! After that season, she decided to move on. And when a coaching opportunity came her way with New York Ski Education Foundation, she jumped at the opportunity – rising up after a season to become NYSEF's first head biathlon coach.In this episode of Heartbeat, Phaneuf covers it all – from the success she enjoyed as an athlete to her mental health challenges after PyeongChang to her experiences working side-by-side with other coaches from around the world.Going back in time, how did you get into biathlon?I moved to the Adirondacks when I was eight. My family spent the first chunk of my life down in South Carolina – so the complete opposite of the northeast. I began cross country skiing at a young age and got into biathlon with the Polar Bear Biathlon Club when I was 15. That was my first introduction and I quickly fell in love with the sport and kept getting after it and trying to make Junior Worlds.Had you considered coaching after your athletic career?When I would think about my career as an athlete and what I wanted to do with my life – my first thought wasn't coaching. I was ‘oh, I think that's something that I don't want to do' actually. But my first taste of coaching a little bit was when I would help the Polar Bear Ski Club. And when I was an athlete, I would go down and help with some sessions now and then during the holidays. And then my first real taste of coaching was ... I did a NANANordic program. It's basically a volunteer-based program to go up to rural communities in Alaska and bring a skiing program to them for a week or so. So that was my first real taste, and I loved it. I loved working with those kids. It was so fun and different. And so when I was retiring, or kind of in that in-between limbo of not quite sure what I wanted to do with racing or moving on stage, I was still here in Lake Placid. The former head coach, Shane McDowell, was looking for some extra support with the biathlon program. I wasn't fully training, but I also wasn't working, so I figured I would just help and kind of see if I liked it. Then that just turned into me staying with the club and being their first true head biathlon coach, and I've been loving it ever since.Mental health is very important to you. What counsel would you give young athletes and their parents?That's a hard question, because I just remember when I was in high school and maybe it's different now. I feel like when I was in high school the last thing I wanted to do was tell my parents anything about what I was going through. Maybe that was just my own personal relationship, because I have a much better relationship with them now and tell them everything. But I think as a parent, it's mostly important just to keep like an extra eye in a sense of like, you don't need to constantly always ask your child, like, ‘how are you doing?' But it's important just to notice their patterns. And if something seems a little off, like notice it at first and maybe ask them or at least give them the opportunity to be like, ‘hey, you do know that my door is always open. I'm happy to talk to you about anything. And if I'm not the person you want to talk to, I'm totally happy to help you find someone else that you want to talk to.' That's the main thing – just not expecting your child to want to necessarily open up to you because they might not feel totally comfortable. But if you notice something, at least give them the resources to know that it's okay to talk to somebody else.You've now made friends with coaches from around the world in the IBU coaches program. What are your takeaways from that experience?It's really interesting because coming from a sport like biathlon and a lot of these, these coaches, having been involved in the sport when they were young or even recent years, we all have a similar tie. Obviously we all understand the sport. We all are in it for the same sort of reasons. We love the sport, we're passionate about it. We're obviously coaching because we want to give back to the community and want to continue growing the sport for next generations. And so it's cool because we all kind of have this similar bond and we can kind of connect over that. And the other thing that I find really interesting is learning how coaching in different cultures is so different. Like for instance, I would have never known that in Finland, for instance, this coach was saying that the athletes there are fully expected to kind of ask questions and probe why they're doing a certain thing. But for athletes who are maybe in Ukraine or Moldova, it's very much more like authoritarian type coaching, and they're not really expected to ask why they're doing a thing. They're just expected to follow what the coach informs. As a woman coach, you're blazing new territory. Are you motivated to be a role model for women in coaching?When I first heard about biathlon, the club at the time was only kids that hunted, and they were all boys. And I remember thinking, ‘okay, so biathlon is for boys and it's for people who like hunting' – which is so wrong and not accurate at all. As I got older and was competing more, becoming a woman and an adult, looking around the world and really, truly realizing what patriarchy is and like how instilled it is in our society that men have these positions of power where women don't necessarily. In a sport like biathlon, it's very male heavy. So it kind of opened my eyes to not only within biathlon, but just the entire world and how male dominated it is in these roles where people are making decisions like coaching or officiating. I just kind of became more interested in taking up more space and being a woman in those roles. And I really, truly encourage more women to take up more space and push the boundary into coaching or officiating.Are you still playing music?Well, I recently picked up a piano off the side of the road this past summer. So I am dabbling back in the piano, which I've played since I was eight, so that's been very nostalgic and fun to get back into.If you want to hear more about the piano, listen in to this episode of Heartbeat where Maddie Phaneuf talks about coaching, mentorship, mental health, being a role model, U.S. Biathlon's Try It laser rifle program and much more.

I traveled 14 hrs to see my Nephew Degan and his fishing partner Troy Jr fish in the TBF Junior World Championships at Sooners Lake outside Ponca City Oklahoma. I was able to sit down with Mr. Randy Sullivan who is the Senior National Tournament Director for the JWC from the Student Angler Federation for High School Students. I also couldn't skip the chance to interview my nephew Degan "Scooter" Dougherty and his team mate Troy Crawford Jr. So day one was a tough day, weight in zero fish really hurt the standings. Day two brought the spirits up with 4 fish weighing 8 lbs 4 oz. Unfortunately, this strong day two finish wasn't enough to qualify them for day 3. Degan and Troy missed their day three shot by a mere 14 oz. Hell of a fight boys. Have fun listening to a great organization get kids out from behind the iPad and out in nature. https://www.bassfederation.com/ https://www.phxjuniorbassmasters.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gdpodcast/message

This week's episode of Scrambling with Dylan Otto features Pepperdine University Golfer Sam Choi. If you like golf and want to hear some good stories then you'll want to listen to Sam Choi's journey. It all started in South Korea where young Sam was getting things going with both golf and life. At a young age his family moved to Southern California and Choi had a lot of questions about this move. His junior career took off as he started playing in local SCPGA events and branched out to high level events in AJGA and Junior Worlds. College golf wasn't something Sam planned on doing because he "just wanted to turn pro and make money!" That eventually changed after some consideration and found himself accepting an offer to go play at the University of New Mexico where he prevailed! As his time at UNM was coming to an end, he had an extra year of eligibility to play around with. He's currently finishing his college career playing for the Pepperdine Waves and is enjoying every minute of it.
