Jason Webber joined the Football Association of Wales almost five years ago, to lead on EDI and Sustainability, a brand new role at the time. Prior to that, Jason worked in various Football Development roles, including coaching at the Cardiff City Academy. On leaving University, Jason worked for Show Racism the Red Card, which was his introduction to the Equality World. Jason on the emergence of EDI in football: “We've seen quite a shift in recent years and certainly since the murder of George Floyd. There has been quite a gulf of EDI related roles, particularly in football, but in sport more broadly. Sport is starting to be under the microscope a little bit more and being held accountable for progress, or lack of it, which maybe other industries have gone through. So there's certainly more focus in this area for Chief Executives, National Governing Bodies and in clubs across the game.” Jason on opportunity: “Through our BE: Football programme, we do a lot of work in schools, providing playing football opportunities. Unfortunately, there are still many schools that don't offer football for girls and it's very much an exclusive offer to boys. The Be: Football programme enables skills development and opportunities for girls to be mentors themselves in their own schools and be Ambassadors for younger girls.” Jason on Governance: “It is so important that EDI is an explicit and visible core element in any governance. Many National Associations are often a little bit archaic with how they are structured and set up and that's been the case for maybe a hundred years. WE have had a big change ourselves in terms of our own governance models and structures, but also ensuring that EDI is a core part and embedded within those changes and processes and likewise for clubs as well. We are currently working through to make sure that every club in Wales, from our professional clubs to grassroots, all have their own strategic plans, so that they are very clear on the direction they are going. The changes we have made ourselves, have brought about better representation and we have made huge changes to our recruitment process.”
Longtime USA Wrestling staffer Gary Abbott has probably interviewed more people going into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame than anyone since he started with the National Governing Body in 1988.

When we think of athletes being professionals, we often think of the big bucks that are in major sports. But for most Olympic and Paralympic sports, the pot of money is pretty small and that's because the National Governing Bodies (NGBs) behind them are running on shoestring budgets. On this episode we talk with Ramsey Baker about the challenges small NGBs face and how they think about sponsorship and broadcast rights in working to increase their budgets. Ramsey is a SVP at Aggregate Sports, a consulting firm that helps NGBs find sponsors and broadcast partners. Prior to joining Aggregate Sports, Ramsey spent 18 years at US Figure Skating in various leadership roles including Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Director. Also, a doping case has rocked the swimming world. The World Anti-Doping Agency just confirmed that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for TMZ ahead of Tokyo 2020, but took those positives to be inadvertent and dismissed the cases. However, this has many up in arms. We have plenty of news from Paris 2024, including: More hospitality houses An installment of our new medal-payment novela, in which the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations is furious with World Athletics (get your popcorn for this one!)

What's the role of a National Governing Body for sport in 2023? Is the NGB business model relevant or sustainable? These are questions running through this episode of The Squeezed Middle, our series created in collaboration with PTI Digital, the technology and strategy consultancy.Our focus is on the hugely popular sport of cycling, which at an elite level has been one of the great British success stories over the past two decades, creating a cast of superstar athletes and a haul of Olympic gold medals. But what was the impact of that success? And what does it tells us about how sport is run and the relationship between the two sides of the NGB's job, which is high performance and mass participation.Jon Dutton was appointed CEO of British Cycling in April this year, having held the same role at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup. Previous to that Dutton held senior roles across sport including the 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart, PGA European Tour and UEFA, and is a Board member of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships held in Glasgow this month.Joining the conversation is Ben Wells, CEO of PTI Digital.

ON this week's podcast we're joined by eight-time All-Ireland winner Ciara O'Sullivan to chat about the ongoing protests from female inter-county footballers and camogie players.A statement released on June 19th by the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) revealed the players felt that 'our National Governing Bodies do not want to hear our real concerns.'Since then, inter-county teams have been playing under protest, with both teams at last weekend's All-Ireland quarter-final between Cork and Armagh wearing jerseys with a sign saying #UnitedForEquality, and players will refuse to fulfil official media obligations for the rest of the championship season.It's a fluid situation, but Ciara O'Sullivan joined us to give the players perspective on what progress has been made and what their hopes for the future are.Elsewhere, we chat about Plunkett's brilliant county junior B football championship win and if they can make it a double with the club's hurling team in another junior B final this weekend. There's also news in rowing as Skibbereen Rowing Club added to their long list of honours at the National Championship, while Nicola Tuthill performed admirably at her first European U23 championships in Finland.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.Subscribe to the Southern Star today and get 50% off your first two months on a monthly or annual subscription.Use the code 6Jd0dhub when signing up to avail of this offer.Click 'Have a discount code?' when signing up to enter the code – for full details and to subscribe, click here.Follow our hosts on Twitter: @dyldonot & @KieranMcC_SSProduced by Dylan Mangan.***The Star Sport Podcast is brought to you in association with Access Credit Union.Access Credit Union - Where your bank really does matter.

Female engineers represent just 12% of the profession in Ireland. To coincide with International Women In Engineering Day 2023 we ask how we can encourage more young women to join the industry? What would a workforce with a better gender balance look like? How could the industry benefit from the unique skills and attributes of women that can often be missed in male dominated spaces? To answer these questions, we're speaking to two female professionals who excel in the space of safety and sustainability, and are passionate about highlighting the variety and creativity available in an Engineering career. They are chartered civil engineer and artist Regina Clery, and safety specialist and experienced auditor Mary Foley. THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT01:53 How to recruit young women into engineering 08:39 Better representation of female engineers 10:45 Safety measures in action 15:17 Why prevention is better than a cure 19:10 Staying on top of changing environments 23:40 Sustainable development goals 26:56 Applying safety to other industries 31:56 Everyone is responsible for safety GUEST DETAILSRegina Clery Having first started out as an Art & Design student, and now an Engineer, Regina Clery is interested in projects that involve a range of technologies, culture & art to deliver STEM data across multi-disciplinary audiences. Regina is a Chartered Engineer CEng MIEI - currently working in Transport (railroad & structures) with previous roles as a Civil Engineer in the Construction Industry, Third Level Education Program Coordinator of Civil Engineering and as a Third Level Lecturer - teaching Mechanical and Civil engineering, Building Construction, Environmental Sustainability and Renewable Energy.

I also know that their attention to detail, in my experience, has been much, much better. And I think in my industry specifically, that's so important. - Mary Foley I started off in art college and in fashion design, and now I'm an engineer. Nobody could have told me at that stage of my life that I was going to be an engineer, I wouldn't have believed it. The link is how to create and fix problems. You have to get into the schools and get them at an early age to attract women into these industries and show them that they can do this, that women are already doing it. - Regina Clery Engineers Ireland has been incredible in terms of providing us with continuing professional development, new stuff coming down the track, new information. We absolutely have to stay on top of it all time, because it's ever moving, ever changing and thankfully ever improving. - Mary Foley Prevention is always better than a cure, but unfortunately, people have this image that safety is expensive. It's not as expensive as a claim, but a claim isn't the be all and end all. It's the personal injury, the pain, the loss, the suffering, the everything else. You should be looking after your people. - Mary Foley There's a huge drive at the moment, particularly with the sustainable development goals. A lot of companies know they should work towards becoming an SDG champion, which is rare nowadays. Maintaining safety in the workplace, the well being of employees, having wellbeing programs, and even gender equality, all those things make your workplace safer. - Regina Clery When we're talking about longevity, changes need to be made to acknowledge that the female body needs particular sizing to comfortably wear PPE. There's no such thing really as unisex PPE, especially when it comes to protective equipment. - Regina Clery KEYWORDS#safety #engineering #women #IWED #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #train

‘I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You're not scared. You're an arsehole'. Morgan Freeman, 2012Sport can be an incredibly inclusive space, welcoming women whatever their sexuality – and in many cases providing a haven for a young woman, potentially normalising her identity in a way she may not have experienced elsewhere.And yet sadly, society's perception of LGBTQ+ women can also be the very thing that drives girls away from sport, with National Governing Bodies historically choosing to downplay the high percentage of queer women in their national sides.In this important chapter of my book ‘Game On – The Unstoppable Rise of Women's Sport', I explore the history of LGBTQ+ women in sport and its impact on participation, and how a more inclusive society today sees high profile gay athletes like Megan Rapinoe no longer penalised by sponsors in the way Billie Jean-King and Martina Navratilova were in the past. I talk to Kate Richardson-Walsh and Casey Stoney about the issues of stereotyping in women's sport, and consider how tough it can be to explore the subject of transwomen's inclusion in sport with the constant vitriol surrounding any discussion of the topic.

A member of the Patriot League, Navy will begin competing in fall 2023 and be coached by Billy Edwards. “As an NCAA nationally emerging sport for women, triathlon defines exactly who we are at the Naval Academy and the type of opportunity we should offer to our midshipmen,” said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. “The broad-based requirements through highly competitive swimming, running and cycling highlight the demanding physical characteristics that correlate with personal confidence and leadership development.” “The addition of women's triathlon at the U.S. Naval Academy represents a major milestone in the women's collegiate triathlon movement,” said Victoria Brumfield, USA Triathlon CEO. “One of the storied U.S. military academies, the U.S. Naval Academy prepares our future leaders and for years has had a thriving club triathlon team. We are thrilled to now see increased competitive opportunities for Navy's student-athletes at the DI level. More opportunities will help drive collegiate triathlon competition to the highest level.” Edwards currently leads the Naval Academy's club triathlon team, one of the strongest teams in the nation. The Naval Academy's club triathlon team won the overall team title at the 2018 USA Triathlon Collegiate Club National Championships. Will CU or Army be next? The commitment by the Naval Academy continues the momentum women's collegiate triathlon has gathered toward becoming an NCAA Championship sport. With more than 40 schools now offering women's collegiate triathlon, the NCAA Emerging Sport for Women has met the 10-year window to demonstrate sustainability and success at the NCAA varsity level. Now, women's triathlon has a few more steps to take on its way to being fully managed by the NCAA as a championship event, including committee, council, divisional and budget approvals. Women's triathlon is a fall sport, and the varsity season includes two National Qualifiers followed by the Women's Collegiate Triathlon National Championships held in November. The draft-legal races are sprint-distance, featuring a 750-meter open-water swim, draft-legal 20-kilometer bike and 5-kilometer run. In the draft-legal format, athletes work together in packs on the bike and make multiple loops on a closed course. The exciting, spectator-friendly draft-legal format is the same format contested in the triathlon competition at the Olympic Games and on the World Triathlon Championship Series circuit.

Past participants, on average, have seen these huge improvements in pace: What's New in the 303: Chris McGee's New Role with Bicycle Colorado Overseeing Bike Racing By Bill Plock March 2, 2023–Change is not always easy and often comes with challenges and opportunities. When Bicycle Colorado acquired Colorado Cycling (a.k.a BRAC) it was with clear knowledge they would be inheriting many challenges along with the complexities of organizing a race schedule and managing a membership that is probably a bit confused with all the changes. They also took on a long history of bike racing and the ups and downs of the local overseeing racing association and some challenging times over the years with USA Cycling and its multitude of leadership changes and focuses. But there is equally as much optimism. With a rising tide mentality, they are hopeful that with a larger audience, a renewed focus, and a strengthening relationship with USA Cycling that more riders might be attracted to not only race but to participate in all cycling events. They knew they needed to hire someone to oversee all of this and meld it into the bigger mission of Bicycle Colorado. And so they hired Chris McGee, a long-time race organizer and one-time Executive Director of BRAC to take on this important stewardship. Chris McGee with Bicycle Colorado Vintage Chris McGee When asked about his vision, he said, “ I look at the big picture and my role is events and finding ways to work together to help overcome common challenges. The kindred spirit of what we have as a cycling community is so important to foster. It makes the experience better for everyone riding bikes in Colorado.” When asked about road bike racing in particular, Chris said “There is definitely a decline in road racing and those events, but at the same time if you look at what's going on in Colorado and look at Bicycle Colorado's calendar and see all the events in Colorado, and knowing how big some of those events are and how they attract cyclists from all over the country, I'm really excited! If you look at events like the Triple Bypass, Ride the Rockies, Ironhorse Classic, the High School Cycling League, Collegiate Nationals, and big mountain bike events, there is a lot of reason for optimism for overall cycling—we are pretty lucky here! But the number one thing to know, BRAC as an entity for building the race calendar, assigning officials, and helping race directors is still intact and we dropped it into Bicycle Colorado. Yvonne van Gent, who has been a pillar at BRAC for many many years is still doing what she has always done.” But changes in racing are happening. In a nutshell, one of the biggest changes already is the paired membership model with USA Cycling. Says Chris, “one thing I am really proud of is our deepening partnership with USA Cycling. Racers need to only buy a USAC license to race in Colorado this year. No longer do they need a BRAC license. When they sign up for a USAC license they will automatically be registered as Bicycle Colorado race members. Registration will be much quicker and easier for racers and for event managers. Soon we will have a new website dedicated to racing with many of the features of the old BRAC site but also with many upgrades and of course all the history.” Lance Panigutti, the owner of Without Limits who put on road races, cyclocross races, and triathlons, said this about the changes so far, “It mirrors other endurance sports like triathlon that have seen a grassroots resurgence these past several years. What I'm hopeful for and would like to see is for Bicycle Colorado to focus on marketing the cycling race community as welcoming and inviting, not as an intimidating elite sport. Race scenes like cyclocross are the perfect environment for races to fall in love with competitive racing, and then moving to the road scene is a natural migration. But let's take a look at why Bicycle Colorado took this on and how in the long run it hopes to help not only races but all cycling events. Bike racing, at its heart, is a grassroots sport. Bicycle Colorado took on organizing the sport as part of its mission to improve the cycling experience for all. Including racers. Take a look at the bike calendar. It's packed. It's an elusive creature to have one, up-to-date calendar presenting all the possible events and races available to cyclists. Said Chris McGee, “it starts with a comprehensive event calendar so people can find events, and plan for events but also so we can help manage the impact these events will have on the community. Our goal with acquiring BRAC (Colorado Cycling) is to bring bike racing more into the mainstream of cycling and help improve the experience not only for racers but also for clubs and for the communities hosting these races. We also want to help attract more people to race and to be a stronger partner with USA Cycling to encourage the growth nationally and provide a stronger conduit of youth racers to grow the sport.” Bike racing is a very niche sport. Riding a bike however is one of the most popular activities in the world. Some studies show riding a bike is the most popular activity in the United States. But based on a few google searches, and depending on how you define “activity”, it may not be the top activity, but it's at least in the top five. Running, fishing, and hiking all seem to be higher in ranking. So how many people actually are considered cyclists? Does it matter? Well, it certainly does to Bicycle Colorado which advocates for all cyclists, including bike racers and those that just want a safe route to ride for fun or commute. Their website states, “Bicycle Colorado is a nonprofit advocacy organization championing the interests of all bicycle riders statewide. We envision a Colorado where riding a bicycle is always safe and convenient for everyone, where bicycling is the top choice for recreation and everyday trips, and where the benefits of bicycling are experienced and valued by all people in our state.” Obviously, this would include racing. But for years, bike racing was a kind of satellite revolving around “biking” left mostly alone to advocate for itself and fend off trends and market forces that in the case of road cycling, have left that discipline battered and isolated, some might say unapproachable, complex and even elitist in nature. For decades racing a bike, as an adult in Colorado has been sanctioned by different governing bodies and most recently was overseen by the Bicycle Racing Association of Colorado (BRAC) which changed its name in 2020 to Colorado Cycling but was essentially the same organization. But thanks to an aging, expensive website, COVID, and some would argue a wavering philosophy on their role in the sport, BRAC was at crossroads about its future or even if it had a future. Something needed to change for the good of cyclists and the sport—it fit Bicycle Colorado's mission to step in. Bike racing, in particular, road racing has been on the decline for years. There are too many reasons and speculations to take a deep dive here as to why, but one thing is for sure, bike racing is complex. It involves getting a license, closing roads, finding, coordinating, and paying referees. Most people who race are on a team. People are categorized and race against others of similar ability. There are points and team competitions and on and on. It's simply not the most approachable sport for someone not familiar with how to do it. Sure you can just show up and race (after getting the licenses) and not care about the rest, but to fully engage takes effort. But as participants age, or drop out of the sport, refilling the road peloton so to speak isn't keeping pace with those leaving. Unlike triathlon, where for the most part, people are sort of racing themselves and do it for the challenge of finishing. Obviously, people race to win in triathlon as well, but in general it's a participation sport and all one needs is USAT license (can be a one day license) and show up and race. Triathlon comes with its own barriers of entry such as the cost and the intimidation of maybe doing a sport, like swimming, that is not comfortable but is very approachable for the most part. Those in the bike racing governing bodies have been talking for years about how to make it more inviting, to attract new people, and to make it more accepted in the community. To make it more sustainable and with a brighter future. To grow the sport. To make it simpler and broaden the appeal to the biggest audience possible. Let's hope and help Bicycle Colorado navigate the future and achieve those goals. Video of the Week: Super League Arena Games: Full Heat 2 Semifinals Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.

In 2006, Eric and Lonnie Dupre completed the first ever summer expedition to the North Pole. During this journey, the duo pulled and paddled specially modified canoes across 550 miles of shifting sea ice and open ocean. Eric successfully led his first expedition to the South Pole in 2008, covering nearly 600 miles in 41 days. Eric is now one of only a few Americans in to have skied to both the North and South Poles. In November 2009, Eric returned to Antarctica for the first leg of his world record Save the Poles expedition. This time he completed a 750-mile ski traverse to the geographic South arriving on January 2, 2010. Two short months later he was dropped off at northern Ellesmere Island for a winter-style North Pole Journey. The international team reached the North Pole 51 days later on Earth Day - April 22, 2010. He completed the Save the Poles expedition by reaching the summit of Mt. Everest on October 15th, 2010 becoming the first person in history to reach the world's three 'poles' within a 365-day period. In March 2014, Eric Larsen and Ryan Waters set out to traverse nearly 500 miles across the melting Arctic Ocean, unsupported, from Northern Ellesmere Island to the geographic North Pole. Despite being one of the most cold and hostile environments on the planet, the Arctic Ocean has seen a steady and significant reduction of sea ice over the past seven years due to climate change. Because of this, Larsen's and Waters' trip—dubbed the "Last North Expedition"—is expected to be the last human-powered trek to the North Pole, ever.

You Get What You Give, Ask Primal Why By Bill Plock Nov 6, 2022–Denver In 1998, The New Radicals released the song, “You Get What You Give” and it seems to have resonated strongly as a business mantra with premier cycling apparel manufacturer Primal of Denver. As I looked around the room at the Four Seasons conference room during the PrimalBike 2022 gathering a couple of weeks ago, it dawned on me that between all of the rides represented here, well over $150 million is raised each and every year for a variety of causes; cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, college scholarships, community causes and so much more. Between the rides, tens of thousands of riders explore roads in every corner of America. The reason they were all in Denver? Primal, a thirty-year-old company supplies cycling clothing for all of these rides and the cyclists who spend hours raising money and a lifetime rolling on roads. Thirty years ago, Dave Edwards made some cool cycling t-shirts and sold them out of the back of his car in Moab. They were a hit and one thing has led to another and thousands upon thousands of designs later Primal has evolved into one of cycling's top brands of cycling wear. Each year, Primal invites some of their top customers to meet and discuss the “state of the union” in cycling events and ponder the future, and share ideas on how to improve events and the sport of cycling. This year's attendee's included leaders from MS, RAGBRAI, Bike New York, Pan-Mass Challenge, Outside, and many others. All of the organizations attending, some for-profit and most non-profits, raise enormous money, but so does Primal. Since its inception, Primal has given away over 12 million dollars. Says founder, President/CEO Dave Edwards about the gathering, “the most meaningful part is making connections and sharing knowledge and experiences. We're privileged to work with incredible partners, and we wanted to provide an opportunity for them to get together in a setting that inspires learning, conversations, and relationship building that makes their events even better while getting more people on bikes.” The Pan-Mass Challenge, in particular, raising $63million in one ride for cancer research leads the peloton of charity. Said President, Jarrett Collins, “Primal is a great partner for the Pan-Mass Challenge because they support many of our teams with high-quality kits, AND they give back to the fundraising efforts of those teams, all in the service of defeating cancer!” The group had break-out sessions focused on discussing a variety of topics ranging from sustainability to trends such as gravel, or as Jarrett Collins termed, “unpaved”. Steve Schulz from Cycle Oregon gave us a peek behind the curtains of their Community of Giving (COG) program and the impact their ride has on its communities and how it helps build everything from community centers to improving community relationships. The group took to the streets and rode bikes to further build camaraderie and consider ideas aimed at getting more people on bikes and raising more money. Ken Podziba, President of Bike New York holds the largest one-day ride in the United States, the Five Boro Bike Tour with over 32,000 riders (303 articles about the ride HERE) and said of the conference, “the conference, which was interesting, engaging, informative, and entertaining, provided an opportunity to learn from and collaborate with some of our country's top bike event organizers. I left Denver with a much greater knowledge of Primal's creative and managerial processes, learning things we can apply to our events, and making some awesome new friends – now that's a successful conference!” If you measure yourself by the peers you attract, Primal has attracted many of the best of the best when it comes to top cycling events and raising money for good causes. You Get What You Give seemed more than obvious at PrimalBike 2022. Aspen unicyclist left his mark on famed Iron Horse Bicycle Classic It's only fitting that Aspen's Mike “Pinto” Tierney is going out “No. 1” in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. Not “No. 1” as in the fastest in the famed race and recreational ride between Durango and Silverton. Nor did he log the most years riding in the event, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year on Memorial Day Weekend. Instead, he is the guy who has turned heads for tackling the grueling 47-mile ride over two mountain passes exceeding 10,000 feet on one wheel. In Aspen, Tierney is famed for working 40 years on the exalted Aspen Highlands Ski Patrol and for regularly riding his unicycle up Independence Pass and Maroon and Castle Creek roads — and even on a variety of mountain bike trails in the Roaring Fork Valley. In Durango and Silverton, he's known as the crazy dude who rides a one-wheeled cycle with no brakes up and down some of the most challenging passes in Colorado. “A 63-year-old unicycling 50 miles from Durango to Silverton sounds a little crazy. I don't mind being called crazy,” Tierney said. This year's event was his eighth and final Iron Horse. “I was the only unicyclist to do it, ever,” he said. Others started, none finished. He heard of a unicyclist from Cortez who rode the route, just not during the Iron Horse. Unicycles weren't allowed in the event prior to 2005. Rules changed and Tierney jumped at the opportunity — and promptly got humbled. Six unis started. The other riders dropped out along the route. Tierney started with the two-wheeled riders and was quickly left in the dust. One restaurant hung a sign on the door saying, “Free food to Lance Armstrong and any unicyclist that finishes.” By the time Tierney finished, the restaurant was closed for the day because all riders had long since finished. He changed strategy the next time he rode it in 2015. He started an hour early and got the flats north of Durango out of the way. In that and subsequent years, he got used to the racers sweeping by him on lower Coal Bank Pass, then the recreational riders catching him higher up the major ascent. He completes the ride between 6 and 6.5 hours. It's not about finishing fast. It's about finishing on one wheel. Other cyclists marvel at how he can tackle the steep ascents and hair-raising downhills on a cycle with one speed and no brake. He rides a 36-inch wheel. He grinds up with 170mm crank arms and swaps them out to 140mm for the downhills. Over the 45 years since he started riding a unicycle, he's learned to seek the slow cadence of pedal strokes on the downhill. If he cannot maintain it and gets going too quickly, he's got to jump off. He's never had to do it in his eight Iron Horses. While bicycle riders get to coast on the downhills, Tierney still has to work. For Tierney, it was particularly humbling to get accolades in a couple of notable celebrations of the Iron Horse's 50th anniversary. There is a section about him in a book marking the anniversary, “Fiftieth Anniversary, Looking Back Racing Forward” by John Peel. His accomplishments also are included in a special exhibit at Fort Lewis College's Center of Southwest Studies. The exhibit, “Looking Back, Racing Ahead: 50 Years of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic and Durango Cycling Culture,” is on display until spring 2023.

In addition to its work at the grassroots level with athletes, coaches, and race directors — as well as the USA Triathlon Foundation — USA Triathlon provides leadership and support to elite athletes competing at international events, including World Triathlon World Championships, Pan American Games and the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Victoria and I caught up LIVE at The Marni On The Move podcast pop up at IRONMAN World Chamionships in St. George, Utah back in May, when she was Chief of Staff and Chief of Business Development for USA Triathlon. Since then she is in this new role, which is super exciting, so I gave her a buzz last week to get up to speed. Beyond her top leadership role at USA Triathlon and impressive career in the world of endurance sports, Victoria is an incredible endurance athlete and does it all road, gravel and MTB cycling, triathlon, running, and so much more. We met years ago in NYC when she had just graduated with her MBA from NYU, was working in the world of endurance sports, and racing as an amateur cyclist, she truly walks the walk! Victoria and I sync up about the role of USA Triathlon in the world of endurance sports, the growth trajectory they are predicting for 2023, how USAT is creating opportunities for all kinds of athletes-newbies and veterans to dial in to the sport, and of course, we talk about all of the races Victoria has on her schedule and the training she does to stay fit for these events.

We talk a lot about more nations getting involved with sports, or smaller nations having more presence at an Olympics or Paralympics. For a nation to be at the Games, they need to have a national governing body in the sport – but what does it take to start one? On this episode we're talking with skeleton athlete Shannon Galea, who has dual citizenship with Canada and Malta, and who founded the Maltese Bobsled and Skeleton Federation with hopes of qualifying for the Olympics. In our Albertville 1992 history moment, Alison found a competitor who went on to have some notoriety in life. A lot's been happening in TKFLASTAN too. We've got updates from: Andras Toro Evan Dunfee Ness Murby Michelle Carter DeAnna Price Mallory Comerford Nick Zaccardi Ginny Thrasher The Modern Penthathlonovela has an update too - and this is getting to be a very slick TV production, which is quite fitting for a telenovela-esque situation. We also have updates from Paris 2024 and lots of news on Milan-Cortina 2026, namely budget woes (who's surprised at this?) and the announcement of the sports program....which does have more equality for women, but not for our very own Annika Malacinski. Finally, Spain's out of the running for hosting the 2030 Winter Olympics, and the USOPC gives reasons why Salt Lake City might also not be selected to host those Games, even though they are ready and willing for whenever the IOC needs them.

Cathy Devine, expert in sport policy at elite and participatory levels with a special interest in equality for girls and women.Corinne Kielty, cycling coach, ex Breeze Champion for British Cycling and cyclist.Tess McInnes, cycling club Welfare Officer and member of British Cycling.We discuss the UK history of women's exclusion from sport going back to the stated principle of Pierre De Coubetin: “this feminine semi-Olympiad is impractical, uninteresting, ungainly and improper; it is not in keeping with my concept of the Olympic Games: the solemn and periodic exaltation of male athleticism with the applause of women as a reward”. It is extraordinary how widely this attitude prevailed into the 21st century.Excluding women from sport is part and parcel of women's designated roles in the public sphere as handmaidens, not participants; and how sport was and still is perceived as ‘unfeminine' and not for girls or women.Football was one of the first games that welcomed women, was popular with crowds but that ultimately women were banned due to the perception that men were losing out. Cycling symbolised independence for women. Gradually from the 1960s, women began to enter the professional and amateur arenas and successfully created both their own Olympic governing body and in the UK, a Women's Sports Council separate from their male counterparts. Up to the 1990s almost all women's sports were administered separately until the Sports Councils recommended mergers and men's sport still dominates today. This takeover and deprioritising of women's sport has resulted in the stunting of girls and women's sports and how as a result, we have very little by way of a legacy to build on. The lack of a longstanding popular culture of women's sport continues to discourage the visibility of women coaches and policy makers, which contributes to the lack of thought given to encouraging girls into sport. We discuss exclusion in schools, where non-traditional sports that might inspire girls are underinvested. Traditional team sports are cheaper to run and teachers hesitant to teach PE. Some girls enjoy traditional sports such as football, rugby and hockey, but are deterred by the lack of initiatives taken to make these spaces inclusive for girls, who experience a very different social conditioning to boys.We discuss sport culture in general; certain sports seem hostile to atypical males as much as females. The macho culture of sport is as problematic for some men as for women; women's sport is not the remedy or the refuge for men fleeing ‘toxic masculinity'. There is the absurd and intolerable situation that trans men, trans women and women are all competing in the women's category. Men's sport meanwhile continues unaffected. Why is it not problematic for trans men to compete in women's sport, but it's problematic for trans women to compete in men's sport? The culture of National Governing Bodies and men's sport in general has much work to do to address this.

IN this episode Ryan Millsap hosts Olympic Athlete and Gold Medalist - Norman Bellingham. Norman competed in three different sports - whitewater kayak slalom, flatwater kayaking, and rowing, earning distinction in each. He was a national team member in slalom at age 17 before switching to flatwater two years later and at the 1984 Olympic trials, his first-ever flatwater race, he qualified for the US Olympic team and then stroked the US four man kayak at the LA Olympics in the 1000 meter event. Four years later came the highlight of his athletic career when he and partner Greg Barton were Olympic Champions in the flatwater kayak doubles 1,000 meter event. Norman subsequently enrolled at Harvard University, earning a varsity letter in heavyweight rowing by winning the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges Championship and then placed second at Henley in the Thames Cup competition. After that, he took another shot at the kayaking Olympics, placing 4th in both the singles 500 meters and the doubles 1,000 meters. His training partner, whom Norman unselfishly coached, won the 500, thus costing Norman a medal. Norman ultimately graduated from Harvard with an honors BA in economics and later returned to earn an MBA. He has contributed greatly to the USOC on several occasions. From 1993 to 1996, while working there, he improved programs that support athletes and National Governing Bodies. He created and directed the $4.5 million Hometeam ‘96 Program that maximized the US Team's medal performance at the Atlanta Games. He also helped design and implement a system that more closely tied financial support to athletic performance, a system the USOC still uses today. From 1993-2001, Norman was co-chairman of the Athletes' Advisory Council, vice chair from 2000 to 2001, and from 1997-2001, he was a member of the USOC board of directors and executive committee.
