One of the most high-profile sports in the Olympic Summer Games in Paris will be basketball. The USA Basketball teams have been some of the most dominant in Olympic history in any sport. The women's team looks to extend its streak to eight consecutive gold medals and the men's team looks for its fifth in a row, having only lost six games in Olympic history. The U.S. also will have teams in the blossoming 3x3 competition that will be held on Place du Concorde in one of the more stunning locations in Paris. At the center of it is Chief Executive Officer Jim Tooley, who has been with USA Basketball for over 30 years. We discussed USA Basketball's state of preparations before Paris, the amount of planning needed for the back and forth between Paris and Lille for group-stage games, USA Basketball's relationships with Las Vegas and abroad ahead of exhibition games in London, the growth of the international game and 3x3 and celebrating the national governing body's 50th anniversary.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this video interview, Donovan Bailey, Olympic gold medal sprinter, discusses his career, his thoughts about success and his message to young athletes. Bailey is in Calgary speaking Tuesday April 30 at the annual Champion Chats fundraiser for Classroom Champions. He's also guest speaker Thursday May 30 at the Calgary Italian Sportsmen's Dinner. HERE'S THE PUBLICIST MATERIAL FOR HIS BOOK A memoir of Olympic glory, the value of mentorship and the courage to champion your own excellence, from the long-reigning world's fastest man, Canadian sprinting legend Donovan Bailey. From the lush fields of his boyhood in Jamaica, to the basketball courts of Oakville, where he came of age in one of Canada's most thriving cultural mosaics, to his sprint toward double Olympic gold for Canada in Atlanta in 1996, Donovan Bailey got a long way on natural talent. But he also learned that in the bureaucratic world of Canadian sports, an athlete who didn't come up in the system needed to take charge of his fate if he was going to become the world's best. As he ascended from outsider to dominant athlete, others didn't always understand the rigour at work behind Bailey's confident demeanor. He'd learned from watching Muhammad Ali that a champion needed to act like a champion. But media grew fixated on the sprinter's immodesty, the likes of which they never saw from Canadian athletes, especially track athletes in the wake of the Ben Johnson doping scandal at Seoul in 1988. Bailey was having none of it, and when he called out Canada's subtle racism and contradicted the prevailing idea most Canadians had of their country, he left in his wake a media uproar and cracked wide open the nation's moral complacency. In addition to his unforgettable 100-metre and 4×100 relay gold-medal sprints in Atlanta, Bailey's track career was a litany of records and rare accomplishments, including his audacious 1997 race in Toronto's SkyDome against American 200-metre Olympic champion Michael Johnson to determine who was really the world's fastest man. There was no disputing the result. Bailey had been coached in success before he was seriously coached in athletics. Following the lead of his father, a machinist-turned-real estate investor, Bailey became a millionaire by the age of 21, an experience he continues to draw on as an entrepreneur and philanthropist. Frank about his dominance on the track and unapologetic for expecting as much of those around him as he expects of himself, Undisputed is an athlete's story that refuses to settle for second best. Donovan Bailey PRESS RELEASE Calgary, AB – The annual Champion Chats fundraiser luncheon held April 30, 2024 at Hyatt Regency Calgary is now sold out. At over 55 tables of guests, this year's Champion Chats will be the biggest ever and brings together over 450 of Calgary business leaders, Olympians and Paralympians, and community leaders to support the work of Classroom Champions, a non-profit dedicated to providing specialized programming for high-needs schools across Western Canada – and across North America – by partnering students and classrooms with athlete mentors. “This year's event is the biggest one yet with dozens of CEOs joining us for this incredible afternoon meant to educate and inspire us while providing needed funds for programs close to home,” said Steve Mesler, President and CEO of Classroom Champions. “It's clear that there is a lot of excitement about hearing from our stellar line-up of athletes who will speak about their own experiences achieving personal excellence.” The 2024 event panel includes: Donovan Bailey: Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional athletes of all time, Bailey won a gold medal for Canada in the men's 100m at the 1996 Olympic Summer Games and set a world record with a time of 9.84 seconds. He works to uplift organizations that aspire to achieve greatness. In October 2023, he released his memoir, “Undisputed”. Luke Willson: As a Canadian former professional football player, Luke played tight end in the National Football League (NFL) and is one of the few Canadian athletes ever to win a Super Bowl. He spent his first five NFL seasons with the Seattle Seahawks where he was a fan favourite, winning Super Bowl XLVIII with the team. He retired from the NFL in 2021 and is an NFL analyst on TSN. Waneek Horn-Miller: As one of Canada's few Indigenous Olympians, Waneek has used her unique experiences in life and sport combined with a passion for her culture to influence Indigenous and non-Indigenous leadership in sport and wellness. A Mohawk from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory near Montreal, Waneek was behind the lines during the Oka crisis in 1990 when a Canadian soldier's bayonet stabbed her. It was a near-death experience that marked a turning point in her life. Waneek is one of North America's most inspiring female Indigenous speakers. Long-time panel moderator for Champion Chats, Tara Slone is back to host the panel and will lead the conversation about what it takes to achieve excellence, both personally and as a community — a theme that is sure to resonate with the entrepreneurs and leaders in the room. Donovan Bailey adds, “I'm thrilled to be a part of this year's fundraiser and am honoured to work with Classroom Champions to raise awareness about the critical need to provide kids with skills to meet their challenges. I look forward to inspiring Calgarians and supporting Classroom Champions' great work.” Champion Chats will also celebrate the 25 Calgary-based energy companies known as the “Energizing Communities Collective” who are focused on their commitment to creating a long-term positive impact within their operating areas across B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Gold members of the Collective include Athabasca Oil Corporation (new), ARC Resources, Crescent Point, Headwater Exploration, PETRONAS (new), Spartan Delta, Pembina Pipeline Corporation, Tamarack Valley Energy, and Tourmaline Oil Corp. “It's amazing to see how our locally based charity is growing at such a rapid pace and to see how our impact extends to classrooms across North America and around the globe. The local business community is making that happen, says Mesler.” He adds that Champion Chats is an opportunity to celebrate the non-profit's extraordinary momentum. Funds raised at Champion Chats will directly benefit children by providing them with athlete mentors, as well as supporting teachers with the Classroom Champions curriculum. More about Classroom Champions Classroom Champions is a nonprofit charity that has impacted over a million students to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically through the mentorship and mindsets of world-class athletes. Working with 300+ Olympic, Paralympic, university student-athletes and professional athletes who volunteer as mentors and over 5,000 teachers, Classroom Champions programs and curriculum has worked with predominantly underserved, rural, and Indigenous communities across the continent. Students participating in Classroom Champions see significant improvements in the classroom, teachers see improved engagement, and athlete mentors learn new skills to prepare for life after sport.

USA Gymnastics is looking to build a national training and wellness center that will serve as the hub for the national governing body and has issued a request of expressions of interest directed at destinations and real estate developers targeting a 2026 project completion, said President and Chief Executive Officer Li Li Leung during a discussion on the SportsTravel Podcast. The NGB is seeking a partner to design, build, operate and maintain a campus comprising a modern training and wellness center and ancillary facilities for the national team in various disciplines as well as develop the overall grassroots growth of the sport. USA Gymnastics does not have a centralized training and wellness center currently. The new center may also become home to the NGB's national headquarters. In this episode, Leung discusses why the NGB is seeking the new location as well as preparations for the Paris 2024 Olympic Summer Games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the biggest sports in each Olympic Summer Games is swimming, which has been part of the Olympic program since 1896. But what casual fans of swimming may not realize is that the sport's international governing body, World Aquatics, also oversees water polo, diving, artistic swimming, open water swimming and high diving throughout the world. The international federation has been around for decades but recently underwent a dramatic rebranding from FINA to World Aquatics. One of the leaders of the federation is American Brent Nowicki, who has been executive director at World Aquatics since June 2021 after spending more than eight years at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. SportsTravel Managing Editor Matt Traub talked with Nowicki recently about the organization's rebranding, the international scene especially in a time of turmoil in the Ukraine, the importance of the U.S. market five years out from the Los Angeles Games and how growing up in Buffalo has shaped his work ethic as an international sports executive based in Switzerland.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There aren't many kids who have the opportunity to be exposed to the Olympic version of the sports of canoeing and kayaking, but Joe Jacobi was one of them. After being exposed to the sport in a summer camp near the Washington, D.C., area where he grew up, Jacobi found himself on the path to elite competition. Years later that led to international rankings for him and his partner Scott Stausbaugh in the two-man version of whitewater canoe slalom. By the time the 1992 Olympic Summer Games came around in Barcelona, they were poised to take a serious run at the podium. That effort, which culminated in the first U.S. gold medal ever in canoe slalom, came after years of intense preparation and training. After competing, Jacobi went on to administration at the then-governing body of the sport, USA Canoe/Kayak, which moved its headsquarters to Oklahoma City after that destination began a major investment in paddlesports. Now, he is back living near Barcelona as a a performance coach and author, who latest book is called "Slalom: 6 River Classes About How to Confront Obstacles, Advance Amid Uncertainty and Bring Focus to What Matters Most." In this conversation, SportsTravel Executive Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz talks with Jacobi about his path to the Olympic Games, the triumph he had in Barcelona and the lessons he learned from a career in a sport whose very nature lends itself to thinking differently when obstacles are thrown into our path.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the superb sports commentaries were full of Chinese romance, attracting attention of netizens. 在2020年东京奥运会期间，精湛的体育评论充满了中国式浪漫，吸引了网友的注意。To Yang Qian:除却君身三重雪，天下谁人配白衣。After a fierce competition, shooter Yang Qian, an athlete of generation Z, claimed the first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in women's 10m air rifle on July 24.经过激烈角逐，00后选手杨倩在7月24日的女子10米气步枪比赛中夺得东京奥运会首枚金牌。We praised her calm bravery on the field, and we were also fond of her ingenuous and adorable style. She represents a promising future. 我们赞扬她在场上的冷静勇敢，我们也喜欢她那独创而可爱的风格。她代表着一个充满希望的未来。To Sun Yiwen who claimed a gold medal in women's fencing individual:一剑光寒定九州。Sun Yiwen wins the first gold medal of women's fencing individual in Chinese history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games on July 25.孙一文在7月25日的2020东京夏季奥运会上获得中国历史上第一枚女子击剑个人金牌。Leading by only one point in the last 12 seconds, Sun Yiwen outplayed the opponent with slick techniques and a good mentality. The last point of her game rewrites the history of the Chinese fencing team and makes her dream to be a cornerstone member of the team, come true.孙一文在最后12秒仅以一分领先，以流畅的技术和良好的心态成功击败了对手。她比赛中的最后一击改写了中国击剑队的历史，为队友打下了梦想的基石。"When I had to face the overtime, I told myself it's OK and I could make the match-winning point," said Sun. "I don't think too much about the results, and I just do as I have practiced so many times." 孙一文说“当我不得不进行加时赛的时候，我告诉自己没问题，我一定可以赢得比赛。对于比赛结果我没有想太多，我只是像平常练习了很多次一样。”To Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi who dominated the women's synchronized diving 10m platform:雏凤清于老凤声。 Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi dominated the women's synchronized diving 10m platform, winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Summer Games on July 27.陈芋汐和张家齐在女子双人10米跳台比赛中占据绝对优势，在7月27日的东京夏季奥运会上夺得金牌。Although both are generation Z (Chen is 15 and Zhang is 17), they continue writing the legend of Chinese diving. 虽然两人都是00后（陈15岁，张怡宁17岁），她们却续写了中国跳水传奇。"We have nothing to lose, and we are brave enough to face any challenges." They did achieve their goals and won applause from all over the world.“我们没有什么可失去的，我们有足够的勇气去面对任何挑战”。她们确实实现了自己的目标，也赢得了全世界的掌声。To Rowing — Women's Quadruple Sculls:一棹逍遥天地间。 The Chinese rowers safely bagged the women's quadruple sculls gold medal with a world best time of 6 minutes and 5.13 seconds on July 28.7月28日，中国赛艇队以6分5.13秒的世界最好成绩毫无悬念地包揽了女子四人划艇金牌。Chen Yunxia, Zhang Ling, Lyu Yang and Cui Xiaotong established a convincing lead before the final 500m and updated its Olympic best time set on home soil at the 2008 Olympic games. They achieved first place thanks to their perseverance, determination, confidence in each other, and the pursuit of the sport. 陈云霞、张灵、吕扬和崔晓桐在最后500米前拥有了令人佩服的领先优势，并更新了2008年奥运会在中国创下的奥运最佳成绩。她们凭借毅力、决心、对彼此的信心和对这项运动的追求，获得了第一名。To Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin:一个是老骥伏枥志在千里，一个是旭日东升未来可期。One is like an old steed that lies in the stable yet still aspires to gallop thousands of miles.The other one is like the sunrise whose future is promising.Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin won the 10m air pistol mixed team gold medal on July 27.庞伟和姜冉馨在7月27日获得10米气手枪混合团体金牌。"We are confident. For me, I see the first Olympic Games as a chance to develop myself, so I don't feel much pressure," said 21-year-old Jiang. Pang, who referred to Jiang as"niece" because he is 14 years older than Jiang, said he had firm belief in his partner. "We support and trust each other. Even before the match I knew she would be doing great, so I told myself I couldn't be too bad," said Pang.21岁的姜冉馨说：“对我来说，我认为第一届奥运会是发展自己的机会，所以我没有太大的压力，对自己有信心”。因为庞伟比姜冉馨大14岁，所以把她当作自己的侄女。他也非常相信自己的队友。庞伟说：“我们相互支持和信任。甚至在比赛之前，我就知道她会做得很好，所以我告诉自己，我不能太差”。To Ma Long:一个时代的开启不会轻易落下帷幕。漂亮的离场并不只是在巅峰退役，也有绝地求生，也有从零开始。你永远不要低估一颗冠军的心。The beginning of an era will not end easily. Departure not only means retirement at the top, but also to fight the impasse and start from the scratch. You should never underestimate the heart of a champion.Ma Long won the gold medal in the men's singles final of the table tennis competition against his teammate Fan Zhendong on July 30. 马龙在7月30日乒乓球比赛的男子单打决赛中战胜队友樊振东，夺得金牌。Against ages, against injuries, against all odds, Ma Long finally made it.

It was a feat that no male player has ever achieved before. "First, I have to keep a winning mentality. This is the most precious thing which is also the reason why this team offers huge support to me. I think I can continue to play and compete with those rivals," he said. 上周五，中国乒乓球队长马龙险胜队友樊振东，在男子单打比赛中夺得奥运冠军。这是一个前所未有的成就。马龙说：“首先还是自己能够保持住这样一个想赢的欲望，这点才是自己最可贵或者说球队给我最大的支持和原因。它们支撑我努力去和对手抗衡。”To Fan Zhendong:尽管今天依旧没能翻越马龙这座高山，但是也请樊振东回头望望，这一路走来，都是风景。Fan, although you didn't defeat Ma Long, who claimed gold medal in the competition, please look back and you'll see the sceneries along the way. Fan claimed the silver medal in the men's singles final of the table tennis. 樊振东在乒乓球男子单打决赛中获得银牌。He showed the audience his consummate skill and imperturbable mentality. Ma Long said the future of Chinese table tennis belongs to Fan. 樊振东向观众展示了他完美的技巧和不屈不挠的态度。马龙说，中国乒乓球的未来属于樊振东。 To Sun Yingsha:少年负壮气，奋烈自有时。 Sun Yingsha claimed the silver medal in the women's singles table tennis on July 26. 孙颖莎在7月26日的女子单打乒乓球比赛中获得银牌。To Xiao Ruoteng:胸有惊雷而面如平湖。Chinese gymnast Xiao Ruoteng compared himself to a vinyl record.中国体操运动员肖若腾把自己比作一个黑胶唱片。The 25-year-old man from China's capital Beijing has suffered from serious shoulder injuries which prevented him from practicing difficult movements, and he has spent a lot of time receiving medical treatment. Before the Tokyo Olympics, he received cortisone shots. "The most important occasion is coming. I will show the world the best of me," said Xiao.这位来自中国首都北京的25岁男子肩部严重受伤，无法练习高难度动作。他花了很多时间接受治疗。在东京奥运会之前，他打了止痛针。肖若腾说“最重要的时刻即将来临。我会向世界展示最好的我。”

As a young boy, Simon Whitfield loved playing team sport. In particular, soccer and ice hockey, and through these pursuits, he was able to develop important skills that would go on to serve him well in the future. However, it was the sport of running that really captured his interest, inspiring him to think about what was possible in his life.He has nothing but fond memories when he reflects on his first time being introduced to triathlon, getting his start in the Sharbot Lake kid's triathlon which was an informal, family friendly community-based event.He fell in love with triathlon and in order to become the very best he could be, he said his good byes to his family and friends and left his home in Kingston, Ontario, to travel alone, as a 16-year old, more than halfway across the world, to Sydney, Australia to complete high school and to train amongst its top-ranked triathletes. This decision would ultimately pay off for Simon and help spur him on to Olympic greatness. You'll hear how in our discussion today. In this episode, Simon shares the role that visualization played in the process of winning his gold medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, as well how it always helped him to create and play out different scenarios in his head in order to always be ready for anything that happened in competition. Simon is a deep thinker, and in our discussion, he shares what he feels he has learned about himself, not only through success, but also through hardship and adversity. It's these life lessons that continue to propel him on in his own journey, inspiring him to find meaning and purpose in his life that extend far beyond his identify as a world class athlete and Olympian to something that means so much more to him; the ability to always remain open and curious about the world and to always connect with nature, be out on the ocean as a certified paddle board instructor and to give back to his sport and to the younger generation of athletes striving to follow in his footsteps. Simon's BioSimon Whitfield, triathlete (born 16 May 1975 in Kingston, ON). Simon Whitfield is a four-time Olympian and Canada's first-ever Olympic gold medalist in triathlon. Whitfield won gold at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, the first year that the triathlon was an Olympic event. Although he did not medal at the 2004 Games in Athens, he sprinted to a silver medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing. Whitfield was the Canadian flag-bearer at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London but crashed during the bicycle portion of the triathlon and was forced to pull out of the event. Whitfield has also amassed a total of 12 World Cup wins in addition to his gold and silver Olympic medals. He retired from competition in 2013 and was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2017.Connect with SimonTwitter: https://twitter.com/simonwhitfieldSpecial Recognition to: Special credit to CBC Sports for their video of Simon's Olympic Victory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg2SKW69AY0As well special credit to Hawksley Workman for their 'Beauty as Anger' song used in this episode: https://hawksleyworkman.com/Special credit as well to  the Tragically Hip and Jordi Savall for their music

In sports, sometimes it’s ideal for teams to peak at the right time. And USA Weightlifting would appear to be doing just that, especially when it comes to its elite athletes. The U.S. team is coming off its best showing in nearly 30 years at the IWF World Championships and its best showing in 20 years at the Pan Am Games. And the team appears poised to medal again in Tokyo after ending a 16-year drought at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. Off the field of competition, things are headed in the right direction as well under the leadership of Phil Andrews, who has been CEO since 2016 and has been with the organization since 2013. A fundraising campaign ahead of Tokyo is on pace to raise $500,000 that will help pay for a unique training center for U.S. athletes at the Games. And several U.S. cities have been able to host international events thanks in part to USA Weightlifting’s concerted push to be more involved internationally. The sport of weightlifting has its challenges, including those outlined in a recent documentary that alleged new doping violations of overseas athletes and raised governance questions about the international federation. But Andrews is helping to lead the sport into a new era. In this conversation with SportsTravel Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz, Andrews discusses his entry into the Olympic movement, the NGB’s unique plans for Tokyo, why food costs need to be packaged into the NGB’s event room rates and what makes an ideal host venue for the organization.

David Pratt and Ben Kuzma from Postmedia start by talking about the Canucks goal-a-palooza of late and what is behind their great start to the 2019-20 season. On the other side of the coin the guys talk about Loui drawing back into the line-up and how no one complained when the Canucks originally signed him as a free agent. Dave and Ben chat on how Shotgun Jake is progressing as he seems to be doing the right things to stay in the line-up. The guys discuss Micheal Ferland and wonder  whether he can regain his previous form in his last season with the Flames or last season with the Canes - or if what we are seeing thus far with the Canucks is who he is now. Dave asks what the right move is for 'Cadillac problem' goaltending tandem the Canucks have where both goalies have shown that they are capable of winning games. The guys turn their attention to Utica and talk about how the Comets have had an incredible start, including Cole Lind - and who will get the first recall from the crop of top players that are performing so well in the AHL. Dave and Ben talk about the Niners and their incredible D, especially Nick Bosa, that has made them 7-0 to start the NFL season and look forward to some of the big match-ups this Sunday. The guys touch on Tiger's win in Japan and whether he will play for the US at the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Japan.

Legend in the house! 6x Olympian and 6x Olympic medalist Kim Rhode joins us to explain how the Olympic shotgun events work. But first! We have a correction on the Hollywood version of the Blood in the Water polo match between Hungary and the USSR at the 1956 Olympics. Quentin Tarantino was the producer behind the documentary "Freedom's Fury," which was narrated by Mark Spitz. Plus, there is a Hungarian movie (which Jill vaguely remembered finding but couldn't do so quickly) called "Children of Glory" produced by Andy Vajna and directed by Krisztina Goda: Entire movie: https://youtu.be/VS69waHIPL4 Trailer (English): https://youtu.be/F32mX62TIug Movie website: http://www.szabadsagszerelemafilm.hu/ Back to this week's main event. We are honored to have Kim Rhode with us today. Kim is the first athlete – male or female – to win medals at six consecutive Olympic Summer Games in any sport, a feat she achieved between Atlanta 1996 and Rio 2016 and which only Italian luger Armin Zöggeler has equalled in the Winter Games. She is also the first Olympic shooter, male or female, to compete in all three shotgun events – trap, double trap and skeet. [Not] Surprisingly, Kim's interview went long, so we're dividing it into two episodes. Today she explains how the shotgun sports work--from the uniform to the rifle to how much she shoots in ammo on a given day (thank you, Winchester, indeed). And here's some more info on her gun that was stolen. Follow Kim online! Twitter Facebook Insta Website Plus, we have not-so-surprising news about Tokyo 2020 and great news from our team. It's an action-packed episode! And we're always grateful to our patrons, who keep our flames (i.e.--the podcast) alive. Join the patrons club today! Photo courtesy of Kim Rhode.

Heading into the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, Oakville, Ontario's Donovan Bailey was the 100m World Champion, the Commonwealth World Champion, as well as the holder of the World Record in the indoor 50m, a record which he broke just months before the Games in 1996. According to Bailey, the race was his to lose.  The main event of the 1996 Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta took place on a hot and humid night on July 27th at the Centennial Olympic Stadium. In a race that started with eight athletes, it would take four attempts and one dramatic disqualification before one runner would rise up and win the title of the fastest man in the world. On this week's episode of The Shakeout, we take you back to the drama and glory of one of the most celebrated moments in Canadian track and field history. We would like to thank the Ontario Media Development Corporation for their contributions to this podcast.

Arnie Gundersen, a nuclear educator and former nuclear industry senior vice president, has referred to it as “the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind.” [1] Six years ago this week, a tsunami, triggered by a category 9.0 earthquake, slammed into the site of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility on the north east coast of the Japanese island of Honshu. The natural disaster resulted in the failure of systems keeping the reactor cores and spent fuel rods cool, leading to core meltdowns in three of the plant's reactors, as well as damage from consequent hydrogen explosions. [2] Enormous quantities of radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere and the water table leading to the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 170,000 people in the vicinity of the plant were immediately evacuated. The World Health Organization downplayed the health risks from the catastrophe, concluding in their 2013 Health Risk Assessment from the nuclear accident that the risks of contracting certain cancers in certain sex and age groups were only “somewhat elevated.” The report also concluded “no discernable increase in health risks from the Fukushima event is expected outside Japan.” [3] Nevertheless, a health management survey examining 38,000 children in Fukushima found three children diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The natural incidence is one in one million. [4] Further, a December 2011 peer-reviewed report in the International Journal of Health Sciences found that in the 14 weeks immediately following the event, there were 14,000 excess deaths in the United States connected with radio-active fall-out from the Fukushima meltdowns. [5] The Japanese government has been so successful in its efforts to assuage the concerns of the wider public that Prime Minister Abe was able to secure Tokyo as the site for the 2020 Olympic Summer Games! As of this month, the Abe government ends its housing subsidies to people evacuated from the area proximate to the nuclear facility, forcing those fearful of the lingering radiation to fend for themselves abroad. [6][7] The nuclear accident may have profound consequences for all humanity, and possibly all life on Earth, yet the severity of the situation doesn't seem to merit major headlines. On this, the sixth anniversary of the start of the Fukushima crisis, we spend the hour with world renowned nuclear watchdog, Dr. Helen Caldicott. In this interview, conducted and recorded on International Women's Day, Dr. Caldicott talks about the high radiation reading recently recorded at Unit 2, efforts to contain the radioactive water spilling out of the facility, projected health risks from the cesium, tritium, strontium and other isotopes spewing from the site and much, much more. Caldicott also extends the discussion to talk about Canada's role in nuclear proliferation and the threats posed by the new Trump Administration and Cold War atmosphere in which it is situated. Dr. Helen Caldicott is a physician and co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility. She is a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, the recipient of the 2003 Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, and author or editor of several books including Nuclear Madness: What You Can Do (1979), If You Love This Planet: A Plan to Heal The Earth (1992), The New Nuclear Danger: George W. Bush's Military-Industrial Complex(2001), and Crisis Without End -The Medical and Ecological Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe (2014). She is currently the president of the Helen Caldicott Foundation (NuclearFreePlanet.org). Her latest book, Sleepwalking to Armaggedon: The Threat of Nuclear Annihilation will be available in bookstores in July, 2017.
