Even though Maddy Reynolds was not a runner, COVID-19 spurred her and her homebound friends to start running around the limited area they were allowed to in their neighborhood in Sydney, Australia. On a lark, they decided to run their own marathon. Once racing resumed, Maddy ran an actual marathon. Then she was encouraged to try trail running and next racing. You can see where this is going. Maddy eventually took the risky leap, quitting her secure job as an investment banker to become a full-time runner. By 2023, successes started to accrue. After a runner-up finish in the Six Foot Track Marathon, one of Australia's most prestigious races, Maddy was chosen to represent her country at the World Mountain and Trail Championships in Austria. Her crowning result for the year was winning the UTMB Ultra-Trail Kosciuszko 50K. She followed up that ascendent year with a string of top-10 trail race finishes in 2024, including a win at the Trail de Lac d'Oô in the Pyrenees. Like any upward trajectory, there were bumps in the road. Maddy suffered a stress fracture in her calcaneus, or heel bone, following Kosciuszko. The most serious, though, was after she sustained a serious bacterial eye infection due to a contact lens mistake. Doctors considered removing her eye, but were able to save it, although her vision was severely fogged over. Amazingly, Maddy continued to progress despite very limited depth perception, certainly a huge impediment for a trail runner, leading to numerous falls, including a cracked kneecap. Just last week came a double-dose of positives. First, Maddy's doctors got her a new kind of contact lens that has restored her sight. A truly “Holy Crap, I can see” moment. Ironically, it's the same kind of lens that has also salvaged my vision. Using her new visual acuity, Maddy finished second in New Zealand's UTMB Tarawera Ultra-Trail 52K. Although the race buildup did not go without some crazy, maybe even hilarious, hiccups, as you'll hear. None of these incidents can deter Maddy, who explains the big chance she took on herself, and led her to move to France with her boyfriend to advance her career. She is a font of positivity, and feeds upon the community that is running. She has some huge days ahead of her, and we had a very fun and engaging chat, so I hope you'll enjoy this and follow her as she establishes herself as a force in the trail running world.Maddy ReynoldsInstagram @maddyreynolds98Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

Donovan hiked a six day stretch of the Australian Alps Walking Track (AAWT) in 2024 between Kiandra and Kosciuszko, and we sit down to have a chat about the experience.  From historic huts to stunning alpine terrain, there is plenty to enjoy along this hike, although Donovan did encounter some challenges that we discuss during the episode.

Kia ora e te whanāu.This week on Dirt Church Radio Ali speaks with the mighty Abby Hall. On the start line at the Kosciuszko 100km, Abby Hall was a picture of composure and radiated competence. Hall crushed the course, taking the W and fourth overall in a super impressive 10:43:24. Ali and Abby talk about Abby's injury and recovery, her growth through this adversity, and her hopes for 2025. Hall, who runs for Adidas Terrex, spent two weeks in Australia, traveling, exploring, and generally falling in love with the place with her good friend Lucy Bartholomew. Ali talks to her about this, and more on this stoke-filled episode of Dirt Church Radio. We've also got an amazing Greatest Run Ever for you.

We catch up with Wagga based trainer Gary Colvin who added to his metropolitan record when Cambar scored a tradesmanlike win in the TAB Highway on Nov. 30th. Gary's hoping Cambar will emulate the deeds of stable favourite Another One who won a Championship Final  in 2022 after having finished second the year before. Gary begins our podcast by talking about Cambar's two early wins at Wagga when ridden by stable apprentice Holly Durnan. He looks back on his purchase of the little colt at the Inglis Premier Sale in Melbourne. He got a second opinion from Warwick Farm trainer Greg Hickman who'd trained the colt's sire Pierata. Gary says Cambar has been a thorough professional from the day he was broken in. The trainer retained a part ownership of the horse while the remaining shares were snapped up by old friends. He says one of the quartet is a first time participant. Gary looks back on childhood days growing up with his six siblings on the family farm at Tullibigeal. He says his father was never without a horse or two on the property. He pays tribute to uncles John and Noel Colvin, both very successful jockeys. Gary says he was 17 when he joined three of his siblings in Wagga. He pleased his parents greatly when he registered for an apprenticeship in joinery. He talks of his progress in the old world trade. He talks of his passion for Australian Rules Football, and reflects on his involvement with the Wagga Tigers and the Collingully side. He plays down reports that he was a very accomplished player. Gary remembers his short stint in a coaching role. He looks back on Fred Colvin's move to Wagga and a renewal of his trainer's licence. He assisted his father for eleven years while training a small team of his own. When Fred retired in 1997, he was ready to train in his own right. Gary hasn't forgotten the mare who provided the first win of his full time training career. He acknowledges the special horses to get him up and running as a commercial trainer with special mention of Baltra and Lock the Key. The accomplished trainer takes us through the circumstances leading up to his purchase of Another One at an Inglis Classic Sale. He's never forgotten the instant he first saw the chestnut colt.  Gary talks of Another One's pedigree and the 15 strong syndicate who got together to race the horse. The trainer recalls setting the talented horse for a maiden 2YO at Wagga. He and the owners were stunned when a Randwick trained youngster from the John O'Shea yard turned up for the same race. He takes us through Another One's progression to his first tilt at the Country Championship. Gary followed a similar path the following year and the gelding again made the final at Randwick. This time he prevailed in the highly prized event.  He pays tribute to Another One's regular rider Nick Heywood who wages a fearsome battle with weight to stay in the saddle. Gary talks of Another One's Kosciuszko failure and his most recent wins in the Riverina. The trainer speaks highly of Danny Beasley who rode the horse to victories in the Canberra National Sprint and the Wodonga Cup. Danny recently joined the Wagga training ranks and is situated right next door to the Colvin stables. Gary talks of wife Karen's picture framing business in Wagga, and his willingness to lend a hand in the early days of the operation. He says his assistance was not needed.  Gary talks of daughter Gabby who's currently a highly regarded member of the Melbourne Women's AFL side. Her dad's pretty chuffed. He makes mention of sons Brodie and Matthew. One prefers the thrill of trying to back a winner- the other enjoys being around the horses. Good to catch up with yet another talented member of the country training ranks.

Good to catch up with a young jockey who's forged a prominent spot among the powerful Sydney riding ranks in recent years. The Waterhouse/Bott duo supply regular rides to Adam Hyeronimus  in recognition of his unrelenting work ethic. He currently has 4 Gr 1 winners on his CV along with numerous stakes wins. We were able to pin Adam down last week for a lengthy chat about the early days of his apprenticeship and the road he's since travelled.  He begins by referencing the wonderful support he receives from Tulloch Lodge. Adam says he's no natural lightweight and needs to watch his diet at all times. It's well known that Adam descends from a family of jockeys on both sides of his pedigree. He pays tribute to those who've preceded him.  Adam makes special mention of his maternal grandfather the late Reg Paine, a former legend on western districts tracks. He also acknowledges the deeds of uncles Neil and Rodney Paine, both talented riders in their own right. He explains that two of his cousins are married to high profile jockeys. The popular jockey looks back on early days at Cowra when he gained expert riding tuition from a local trainer. He talks about a succession of trainers with whom he spent parts of his apprenticeship. Adam clearly recalls his first ever race ride at Bathurst in 2008. He looks back on his time with Grafton trainer John Shelton who supplied his first winning ride. Adam takes no credit for the win. With Shelton's support Hyeronimus decided to finish his apprenticeship in Sydney. He had a short time with Jason Coyle before transferring to Gai Waterhouse. He says it was a long time before Gai found him a job. Adam received an immense thrill when he was able to win the inaugural Kosciuszko for his old boss John Shelton. He talks affectionately of the veteran bush gelding Belflyer. He'd been having back problems before he was dislodged from a horse at Randwick on Everest day 2019. The harmless tumble exacerbated his problems to the extent that he was sidelined for 3 months. Adam recalls how close he went to opening his Gr 1 account on outsider Prince Fawaz in the Rosehill Guineas. He gave Castelvecchio a big fright. He says he didn't have to wait long to get the Gr 1 monkey off his back. Just one week later he led all the way to win the Vinery Stud Stakes for Waterhouse/Bott on Shout The Bar. Many people in racing address Adam by the nickname of “Hippo”. He explains how and when his well known sobriquet originated. The jockey looks back on the lowest point in his career- the prolonged investigation into his betting activities which would see him banned for two years and four months. He talks of the impact it had on his life and the time he spent in outside employment. Adam says his weight soared during the long layoff. He talks of his change in attitude after such a major disruption to his livelihood. Hyeronimus was chuffed to win his second Gr 1 on the gutsy filly Tropical Squall for his greatest supporters. The talented jockey was grateful to receive a top Gr 1 ride from the Godolphin organisation in the Spring Champion Stakes. He rode Tom Kitten perfectly to win the important three year old race.  Adam was thrilled to win another Gr 1 on the genuine filly Tropical Squall. He talks of his short but successful association with the imposing colt Storm Boy who's now in training with Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle. A Magic Millions win was a huge thrill for the jockey. Adam talks of his near miss on Lady Of Camelot in the Blue Diamond Stakes. He thought he was home. A good chat with a young horseman whose future looks assured in the fiercely competitive Sydney jockey's room.

Welcome back, dear listeners. Today we're going back to the only Revolution that matters, America's. And we're talking about a badass Polish dude who decided to throw in with our lot. Tadeusz Kosciuszko may have an awful, garbage name, but the man kicked some major ass. And he helped knock dumb English dicks into the dirt, so he's alright in our book. Then he went on to do even more badass shit across Europe, so there's something for people from very country. Except England. You get nothing. Enjoy!

With the Sydney jockey's room virtually a closed shop, other talented riders are obliged to carve themselves a niche in one of several strong NSW regional centres. With no shortage of race meetings, these jockeys are able to pursue a healthy livelihood, sneaking to town from time to time when an opportunity arises. One such jockey is Billy Owen who's services are in regular demand in the Southern Districts. Bill's first stint as a professional rider was halted by weight problems in 2013. He spent the next five years on the amateur circuit winning more than a hundred races. He was thrilled in 2018 when his weight stabilised, allowing him to return to the pro ranks. Bill talks about his current run of success. He speaks highly of My Last Hooray whose three recent wins have impressed the jockey. The gelding is the only horse in the stable of former multiple Gr 1 winning trainer Frank Cleary. The jockey talks of Asgarda, the mare he partnered in the Kosciuszko. Bill's location between Canberra and Queanbeyan enables him to ride trackwork at both venues. The 32 year old takes us back to his early days growing up on the family farm near Gundagai. He says he was in the saddle at age 3. He talks of his favourite equine activities and a brief stint at the rodeo. Bill says he loved every minute of his Rugby League involvement with the Gundagai Tigers. His “jockey's frame” came against him.  With the blessing of his parents, Billy gained an apprenticeship with Nick Olive. The jockey clearly recalls his first winning ride on the Olive trained Chirurgo Dame in 2010.  He talks of a long and happy association with the Canberra trainer. Bill was on the team during Nick's association with classy mare Single Gaze. He never rode Single Gaze in a race, but was her regular partner in trials and trackwork.  He says the stable staff were wildly excited when Single Gaze ran second in a Caulfield Cup and progressed to the Melbourne Cup of 2017. Billy talks of Voice Commander, the horse he rates as the best he's ridden in a race. He looks back on the decision to quit the professional ranks when his weight got out of control. Bill has fond memories of his five years on the picnic circuit and a win in the famous Bong Bong Cup. The jockey has never forgotten the morning he became aware that a return to the professional ranks was a possibility. Bill says he took a much more professional approach on the comeback trail. He's never forgotten Nick Olive's gesture in finding the right horse to re-launch his career. Towards the end of 2018 Billy was tickled pink when Sydney trainer John O'Shea sought his services for a horse called Dawn Raid. He fondly remembers his first Saturday metro win on Junglized for trainer Brad Widdup. Bill hasn't forgotten his first metropolitan double- a brace of wins at Warwick Farm for John O'Shea and Gerald Ryan.   He talks of the two jockeys he most admired as he was coming through the ranks. Bill pays tribute to partner Kia, daughter of prominent trainer Doug Gorrel. His regular riding weight of 57kgs is achievable only by adherence to a strict regime. Bill acknowledges the support of a handful of southern trainers. It's a laid back chat with a very popular southern districts jockey. 

This week, two of the great races on the Australian calendar go head to head, one of them 145 years old and the other just seven years young. The local, imported and overseas stayers do battle in the Caulfield Cup, while the best sprinters in the land duke it out in the $20 million Everest at Randwick, where enigmatic ex-Kiwi I Wish I Win is sure to be among the main fancies. The King Charles III Stakes for the milers and the Kosciuszko for the country sprinters add intrigue to the Randwick card, while the Sportsbet Classic for the derby-bound three-year-olds, the Thousand Guineas Prelude for the fillies and the Millennium Sprint are on the undercard at the Heath. In Adelaide, more Victoria Derby contenders will be going around in the Hill Smith Stakes at Morphettville.

Welcome to my new limited series on climbing the Seven Summits. Episode 1 is an introduction plus a brief update on the Autumn climbing activity in Nepal and Tibet. For the next eight weeks, I'll drop a new episode discussing one of the 7 Summits in detail. The Seven Summits, aka 7S, represent the highest point on each of the seven continents. However, as with most things in mountaineering, there is controversy. From a geological viewpoint, there are only six continents on Earth: Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, South America, and North America. Europe is considered a peninsula of the Eurasia continental platform and is not an actual physical continent. However, from a political perspective, Europe is regarded as a continent; thus, Elbrus (18,513'/5642m), located on the border with Asia in southern Russia, represents Europe and not Mont Blanc (15,771'/4807m), which lies in the Alps on the border of France and Italy. The 7 Summits idea was hatched and first accomplished by American Dick Bass. He started with six summits in 1983: Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, Denali, Vinson and Kosciuszko. Then, with guide David Breashears, he became the oldest person, 55 at the time, to summit Everest in 1985. Canadian Patrick Morrow became the first to summit all seven with Carstensz in addition to Kosciuszko in 1986. Italy mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner summited all the peaks without supplemental oxygen, a first, and completed the task in 1986. #7summmits Episodes will drop each week of: September 15: Introduction September 22: Mt. Kosciuszko, Australia - 7,310/2228m September 29: Mt.

Join Heather & Andy Dorantes for a quick and fun conversation about living life as an adventure, rather than a goal to be achieved. Heather interviews Andy about her adventures climbing the 7 summits including Mount Everest, and her love of new experiences and the adventure that is possible every day. What if business and all of life could carry with it a sense of discovering the unknown and never trying to get anywhere, but rather enjoying the journey of where you're going and the future you're creating?

Rob Mason has been a Firefighter for 24 years at Nowra station and is an Ultra Marathon runner, he ran first 100 km ultramarathon in 2009 and although he couldn't walk for a week afterwards and swore he'd never run a step again, he found himself hooked on ultra-running. The following year, with the help and advice from mentors and friends in the ultra-running community, he completed the ‘Triple Crown' of Australian ultra-running; The Glasshouse Mountains 100 mile (161km) ultra, The Great North Walk 100 mile ultra and the 240km Coast to Kosciuszko ultra within a 4 month period. Fast forward to 2022 Rob went all-in on working on his mindset, including starting the ‘Mindset for Runners' podcast and working with a professional mindset coach. With a concerted plan and mental training, Rob went from thinking he was an average runner to knowing he was going to win the race – and he did, enjoy this inspiration chat with Rob.

Druga część rozmowy z Marią Thiele, pasjonatką i ekspertką w tematach "Strzelecki i Kosciuszko" o obchodach Roku Pawła Edmunda Strzeleckiego w Australii Południowej, Zachodniej i Polsce.

Today's episode features: Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Engineer, Statesman, and Military leader Sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠2 Complicated 4 History⁠⁠⁠ Produced by ⁠Primary Source Media⁠

Shaun Guymer made the decision a few seasons back to  follow in the footsteps of Sydney based jockeys like Grant Buckley and Jeff Penza who've enjoyed fruitful careers away from the metropolitan area. Like Penza and Buckley, Shaun sees more sense in having five or six rides on a southern districts track than pushing a 100/1 “pop”around in town. The popular jockey talks about his current workload and his acceptance of the endless travel required to meet “bush” commitments. He talks about the predicament of having offers at two meetings on the same day. Shaun says he agonises over the offer of a good ride in town from time to time. He hates to disappoint regular clients in the bush. He talks about distances to his usual venues. The jockey pays tribute to Jeff Penza and Grant Buckley. He greatly admires the longtime dedication of the veterans. Shaun says his family background is devoid of racing. He talks of his father's glazing business, and the support of his mother and sibling Josh. The jockey looks back on his initial work experience with top Goulburn horseman Danny Williams. He was later apprenticed to Williams. Shaun looks back on a transfer of his indentures to Canberra trainer Mark Schmetzer who became a valued friend and tutor. He's never forgotten his very first race ride. The horse was trained by Keith Dryden but failed to flatter at any stage. Shaun's first winning ride at Queanbeyan remains etched in his memory. The horse was trained by Rex Cole. Guymer had a long wait before his first city winner came along. The horse was trained by Jarrod Austin and started at cricket score odds.   He's very proud of a Canberra apprentices premiership.   Shaun looks back on a three month loan out to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He says Moses rode work with him most mornings.   He says he thoroughly enjoyed his time with Stephen Farley at Wyong.   The 31 year old looks back on a brief association with Chris Waller who utilised his claim on a couple of talented horses.   Shaun remembers with gratitude a valuable stint with Peter Moody not long after Black Caviar had departed the stable.   He's never forgotten a Caulfield win on a smart Moody trained mare.   The jockey looks back on a bout of depression after completing his apprenticeship. He lost his way as the opportunities diminished, but found a way to get back on track.   He talks admiringly of his wife Emma, daughter of Hawkesbury trainer Tim Walsh.   Shaun was gobsmacked when offered an opportunity by high profile trainer Tony McEvoy who had opened a satellite stable at Hawkesbury. He speaks highly of the multiple Group 1 winning trainer.   He talks of a move to the former Lindsay Park in South Australia when McEvoy's Sydney base was closed.   Shaun has nothing but fond memories of his association with Richard Freedman who'd made the decision to train in his own right at Rosehill. They won numerous races together.   The jockey looks back on a freakish incident at Nowra in 2018. His mount Ahmad literally got off the ground to win a BM 58. The footage went viral on social media.   He talks of a Wagga Guineas win on Lion's Roar beating a future Kosciuszko winner.    Shaun expresses appreciation for the support he receives from trainers in the southern region. He makes special mention of Natalie Jarvis.   He talks of a rare trip he made recently to Newcastle. It was worth the trouble.   Shaun says Emma closely watches his rides on the Sky service.   You can hear the “proud dad” element as he talks about three and a half year old son Fletcher.   It's a laid back chat with a very talented jockey who drives thousands of kilometres to ply his trade.

Menos de cincuenta alpinistas habían logrado escalar «las siete cumbres», es decir, la cumbre más alta de cada uno de los siete continentes del mundo. Por eso es tan sobresaliente que el primero en lograr esta hazaña fuera el empresario norteamericano Dick Bass, que a los cincuenta y cinco años de vida batió récord también como el hombre de mayor edad que hasta entonces escalara el monte Everest. Llegó a la cumbre de esa montaña, la más alta del mundo, el 30 de abril de 1985. Las siete cumbres, en orden descendente, son la del monte Everest en Asia, de 8.848 metros; la del Aconcagua en Suramérica, de 6.960 metros; la del Denali en Norteamérica, de 6.194 metros; la del Kilimanjaro en África, de 5.895 metros; la del Elbruz en Europa, de 5.642 metros; la del Vinson Massif en la Antártida, de 4.897 metros; y la cumbre del monte Kosciuszko en Australia, de 2.228 metros de altura. Siempre satisface alcanzar cumbres en la vida. ¿Quién no desea alcanzar la suya? A pocos les satisface quedarse en el llano, en el valle, limitándose a contemplar cómo suben los demás mientras ellos se quedan siempre a ras de tierra, hacinados con los fracasados y tragando polvo. Querer escalar y llegar a una alta cima es noble y encomiable deseo. A fin de cuentas, el hombre, creado a la imagen de Dios, es un ser que camina derecho, con los ojos en lo más alto de la cabeza para poder mirar lejos y mirar a lo alto. Lo que nos separa a unos de otros son las cumbres que optamos por escalar. La primera cumbre que escogió Dick Bass fue la de su propio continente, la del Denali, y logró escalarla. Por último, decidió escalar la más alta, la del Everest, y la coronó también. Y consiguió todo eso sin haberse formado como alpinista, sino a base de un empeño constante y una determinación tan inconmovible como las montañas mismas. Hay quienes buscan la cumbre de la riqueza. Otros escogen la cumbre de la ciencia. Otros, con inclinaciones místicas, optan por la cumbre de la religión. Otros aspiran a las cumbres del arte, del deporte o de la política. Para cada uno, la cumbre que escoge tiene un atractivo sin igual. Pero ¿quiénes buscan la cumbre de la santidad? ¡Si hasta parece ridículo hacer esta pregunta en un mundo plagado de materialismo y vanidad! Sin embargo, y aunque no parezca posible, la santidad es la mayor cumbre de todas. Es la cima más excelente, la única que puede llevarnos a nuestra plena realización. De los que han buscado esta cumbre, muchos han fracasado en su empeño por haberse desviado del camino. Esa cumbre de la santidad es Cristo, la santidad personificada. Para llegar a ella, debemos seguir el camino sin desviarnos. Pero a fin de no desviarnos, es imprescindible que la escalemos con la mirada puesta en Cristo.

The Kosciuszko Bridge is one of New York City's most essential pieces of infrastructure, the hyphen in the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway that connects the two boroughs over Newtown Creek, the 3.5 mile creek which empties into the East River.The bridge is interestingly named for the Polish national hero Tadeusz Kościuszko who fought during the American Revolution, then attempted to bring a similar revolutionary spirit to his home country, leading to the doomed Kościuszko Uprising of 1794.Kościuszko, the man, is a revered historical figure. The bridge, however, has not always been loved. And many non-Polish people even struggle to pronounce its name, inventing a half-dozen acceptable variants.The original Kościuszko Bridge was not exactly beloved by drivers, vexed by its inadequate handling of traffic and its poor roadways. Its glorious replacement, installed in two phases in 2017 and 2019, lights up the night sky -- and the filmy waters below.In this episode, Greg tells the entire story -- of both the man and the bridge. But it's also a story of Newtown Creek, the heavily polluted body of water which runs beneath it. How did this once placid creek become so notoriously filthy? And how did the most prominent bridge over that waterway become associated with an 18th century hero?PLUS The return of Robert Moses!Visit the website for more information

Tyler Schiller was always destined to make it to the ranks of Sydney's top jockeys. After a flying start in the Riverina he was fortunate to gain a start in Sydney with Mark Newnham who had emerged as a master tutor of young riders. Tyler was champion Sydney apprentice in his second season, and has already established himself in the senior ranks. He begins the podcast by heaping praise on the flying Front Page, the horse to give him two Kosciuszko wins in twelve months. Tyler shares a funny sidelight to the Kosciuszko win on October 14th. His mum Susan found an ingenious way to gain entry to the Randwick birdcage. The young jockey talks of the first leg of his double on Everest day. He used great initiative to get Land Legend home in the historic St Leger. He expresses great gratitude for the wonderful run he's had in his first few months as a fully fledged jockey. Tyler talks about early days in his hometown of Young, and his only sibling's indifference to horses. He talks of father Glenn's association with harness horses, and his own involvement with the breed. Tyler gives a shout out to grandfather Peter who's also had a strong connection to harness horses. He talks of having attained his permit to drive in races, and says he was ready to start when the opportunity arose to become an apprentice jockey. The young jockey talks of his move to the stables of the late Phil Sweeney at Jerilderie, the tiny border town which has strong ties to bushranging history. Tyler talks of the freakish motor accident which almost finished his potential riding career. He remembers with great clarity the thrilling occasion of his first winning ride. The magic moment came at a non TAB meeting on the dirt track at Hillston in the western Riverina.  He says that Lucky Capri's trainer has remained a close friend and associate.  Tyler recalls the occasion of his first winner at a TAB meeting. He revisits a Wagga win on Gold Touch for Luke Pepper, a trainer who has continued to support him. He says bush jockeys rarely get the opportunity to ride top class horses. He pays tribute to one such horse trained by his master. Tyler says he contacted a few Sydney trainers himself when the time was right to make the transition. The jockey reflects on a magical moment at Rosehill on Golden Slipper day this year- his first Gr 1 victory on Mariamia in The Galaxy. He says the euphoria of his breakthrough win was overshadowed by news of his father's cancer diagnosis a few days earlier. Mariamia was one of two winners on the day. He remembers Opal Ridge's brilliant win in the Darby Munro Stakes.  Tyler goes on to talk of Opal Ridge's subsequent Brisbane form. He acknowledges several horses who've helped him to gain a foothold in the ranks of Sydney's senior ranks. Tyler got a huge thrill to head back to the Riverina last year to win the Albury Gold Cup on Harmony Rose for his boss Mark Newnham. Tyler Schiller is still very much a “bushie” at heart which shows through in this podcast. A nice chat with one of Australia's most talented young jockeys. 

Shane Desiatnik tells us about Danielle Wolfson, the only Israeli woman to have scaled Mount Everest, and soon will complete her "seven summits" challenge, with mount Kosciuszko (NSW) on her list

Jenn Drummond doesn't let much stop her from achieving her goals. Having all of her climbing gear not show up for a climb was a mere inconvenience for this 41-year-old mother of seven children. Jenn is on a mission to be the first female climber to summit the so-called Second Seven Summits. We are all familiar with the first seven, and around 500 people have accomplished that goal. Still, only a handful have completed the 2nd, and no females. I met Jenn via my Summit Coach consulting business almost two years ago. She called me to discuss climbing Ama Dablam, which she did a few months later. Jenn is unique. An accomplished businesswoman, now retired, mother of seven, ranging in age from nine to 15, including twin daughters. She is an avid skier, triathlete, and played college soccer. We had a wide-ranging conversation about how the idea was born, her children, and how she manages the complexities of being away so often, and of course, some of the climbs got started. She has completed five of the seven and hopes to finish them all this year, 2022, with Canada's Mt. Logan up next. You can follow Jenn on her social media at Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and her website. The 7 Summits Dick Bass, the first 7 Summiter, choose Australia as one of the seven continents and Kosciuszko as its mainland high point. However, Canadian Pat Morrow, competing with Bass to finish the 7, challenged Bass's summit of Australia's Mt. Kosciuszko as the highest peak in Oceania. Morrow contended that Carstensz Pyramid on Irian Jaya (Papua) in Indonesia's New Guinea was the actual highpoint for the Australasian continental mass. Italian Reinhold Messner jumped in and agreed with Morrow. Today Carstensz is considered one of the seven. Still, some 7 Summiteers try to bag the lower Kosciuszko to meet both the Bass and the Messner lists. The 1st Seven Summits are: Everest, Nepal - 29,035/8850m Aconcagua, Argentina - 22,902/6960m Denali, Alaska - 20,320/6194m Kilimanjaro, Africa - 19,340/5896m Elbrus, Russia - 18,513/5642m Vinson, Antarctica - 16,067/4897m Mt. Kosciuszko, Australia - 7,310/2228m (Bass list) Carstensz Pyramid, New Guinea - 16,023/4884m (Messner List) Mt. Blanc, France/Italy - 15,771'/4807m (highest in Western Europe) And the 2nd Seven are. Jenn has completed the one in bold. K2 (Pakastan-28,251'/8611m) Ojas del Salado (Argentina-22,608'/6983m) Logan (Canada-19,551'/5959m) Dykh-Tau (Russia-17,077'/5205m) Kenya (Africa-17,057'/5199m) Tyree (Antarctica-15,919'/4852m) Puncak Trikora (New Guinea-15,580'/4730m) Townsend (Australia-7,247'/2209m) Monta Rosa, Switzerland - 15,203'/47634m (second highest in Western Europe) If you want to get picky, forget Kosciuszko. Technically, Australia claims Mount McClintock at 11,450'/3,490m, part of the Australian Antarctic Territory in Antarctica. It is higher than both Kosciuszko and Mawsons Peak, 9005'/2745m in Australia's territory on Heard Island. Mawson an active volcano about 2500 miles off the western coast of Australia, e.g., in the middle of the Indian Ocean, an island with no ports or villages. I think Jenn will be happy with Townsend!
