"Focus on what you have not what you have lost..." Former British Army Officer, Chris Moon has survived being taken prisoner in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge (one of the most brutal terror groups in history) and managed to negotiate his release and that of two colleagues from threatened execution.He left the Army to work for a charity clearing landmines in Asia & Africa.In 1995 Chris was blown up in a supposedly safe area of a minefield in remote East Africa, losing an arm and a leg. He survived initially because he treated himself. About fourteen hours after the injury he arrived in South Africa where doctors said they'd never seen anyone live with such a small amount of blood.In 1997 he completed the gruelling Marathon De Sables and inspired many to follow in his footsteps. Since then he's run the world's toughest ultra- marathons, including the Badwater Death Valley 135 mile ultra and the 95 mile West Highland Way Race. He's run numerous ultra-distance events and several one thousand mile events.Chris was awarded an MBE for his work in demining and in recognition of his humanitarian work and he was given the honour of carrying the Olympic Flame into the stadium at the opening ceremony of the Nagano Winter Olympics.Throughout all that Chris has endured never gave up, he went one step beyond…Tune in to hear his amazing story.Contacts / links: ChrisWebsite: www.chrismoon.co.ukLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/chrismoonspeakerThe Crux CrewWebsite: www.consultcrux.comLinkedIn: Eric DoyleLinkedIn: CruxLinkedIn: Crux CastTwitter: @eric_crux

The lads discuss this weeks challenges: Aiden gets all hot under the collar attempting to win gold in every event in the Nagano Winter Olympics 98, then tries to achieve print fame by getting his name in the newspaper. Matt ruins his Sunday by eating at the worst rated restaurant in London, then looks to pester the royal visitors with some upper-class photobombing.

In this Olympic event episode, Chops, Craig W.K. and the Glitch are joined by Deadite from the GameZilla Podcast. Due to a lost bet, the Legend of Retro team is subjected to Nagano Winter Olympics 98' and a retro relapse chosen by Deadite. Listen to their pain and punishment as well as this weeks round of the Intro Music Bracket.

Earlier this year the sports doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to more than 360 years in prison in the United States. More than 250 women, including many of the country's elite gymnasts accused him of sexual abuse, including Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles. Among those gymnasts to testify against him was another Olympic champion Aly Raisman. It was the testimony of Raisman and her team-mates that gave the Icelandic gymnast Tinna Odinsdottir the courage to tell Sportshour she was raped by a fellow gymnast following a competition in 2016. Inspired too by the "me too" campaign she revealed, what she described as "her secret". Canada's Ross Rebagliati won snow-boarding gold at the Nagano Winter Olympics. He was then disqualified for using cannabis, but regained the medal, after a ruling that the substance wasn't banned by the IOC. The stigma stayed with him though. Now twenty years on cannabis is banned by WADA for use in competitions, but a cannabis compound is permitted. And Rebagliati remains an advocate and is promoting the benefits of cannabis when used in a responsible and healthy manner. Having competed at his sixth and final Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang Shiva Keshavan has finally retired after a 20 year international career, competing in the Luge. Growing up in the Himalayas he and his friends had ambitions of competing in winter sports, but Keshavan found it hard to convince India's sports authorities that the Winter Olympics were a major event. Kosovo marks the 10th anniversary of its unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia this weekend. But the celebrations will be tempered by the sense that Kosovo is stuck in limbo. More than 80 countries still don't recognise its independence. But the situation in sport seems a little brighter. Kosovo has a competitor at the Winter Olympics - and its footballers recently took part in their first World Cup qualifying campaign. That was the result of a concerted effort to gain Kosovo membership of international sports federations. Photo-journalist Ted Jackson was on assignment at camp for homeless people in 1990 when he came across former NFL player Jackie Wallace, who'd played in two Superbowls. Jackson's story brought help to Jackie, who rebuilt his life. The pair stayed in contact, but Wallace suffered more set-backs, served time in jail and twice went missing. Ted is once again searching for Jackie. Photo: Getty

This week we strive for Olympic glory, but the infuriatingly mediocre NAGANO WINTER OLYMPICS 98 fights us at every turn. Steve and Woody are joined by Olympics fan Nicole Vettese as they attempt to ski, board, luge, and skate through the storied Nagano games. Also, we briefly explore the blatant scam that is OLYMPIC HOCKEY NAGANO 98.  Hosted by Steve Guntli and Woody Ciskowski Logo by Steve Guntli Music by bensounds.com  ultra64podcast.com Twitter: @ultra64podcast Email: ultra64podcast@gmail.com Next Episode: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

Das Nintendo 64 hat uns alte Podcaster so sehr geprägt, dass eine Episode nicht ausreicht um diese Konsole angemessen zu besprechen. Hier im zweiten Teil geht es munter weiter mit der Vielzahl an tollen Spielen, die für das N64 erschienen sind - und nicht erschienen sind. Etliche Spiele begannen ihre Entwicklung auf dieser Konsole, bevor sie dann doch erst auf dem Gamecube umgesetzt oder gänzlich gecancelt wurden.
