There has never been greater visibility of LGBTQ+ athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the athletes featured in this episode have played an important part in helping LGBTQ+ people feel seen, represented and welcome in sport. From Olympic history-makers to medal-winning Paralympians, we revisit conversations with:

With every Olympics and Paralympics comes thousands of athlete stories. How do you preserve them all? Lindsay Huban, Chief Content and Integration Officer at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum gives us some insight on how the museum tells the stories of Team USA athletes and the Games.  Part of that strategy is through special exhibits, and the museum has two new exhibits on tap. The first, A Legacy of Victory: U.S. Olympic Decathletes, shares the stories of America's incredible performances throughout history in the decathlon. The second is The Genuis of Sport, on International Olympic Committee founder Pierre de Coubertin. Team Keep the Flame Alive member George Hirthler curated this exhibit , which he updated after it was at the Paris 2024 Cultural Olympiad.  We talked with Lindsay about some of the amazing ways athletes send in artifacts and what you can experience when you see the USOPM's new exhibits.

If you add muscle mass to your pecs, will that mean you'll also be able to lift more weight in the bench press? In today's episode, we look at a new study of Paralympic bench pressers that measured their pecs, triceps, and arm length, and then compared these variables with their performance at the Brazilian national championship. The results? Bigger pecs and triceps were associated with stronger benches, while longer arms were associated with weaker ones. Together, those three variables explained a surprisingly large amount of the differences in bench press strength. But does that actually mean growing your pecs will automatically increase your bench? Let's discuss what the study can and can't tell us! Finally, we answer a listener question about body fat: at what body fat percentage does your strength start to decrease?

Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Dr. Osman Ahmed about how concussion care has evolved for paraathletes, why standard tools often fall short, and what the new ParaScat 6 tools aim to fix. They also discuss the Concussion in Parasport Group, the importance of athlete input in research, and why clinicians should think differently about baseline function in athletes with impairments. Key Topics ·       In this episode, Dr. Osman Ahmed explains what paraathletes are and why the term matters when discussing concussion care. ·       We discuss why paraathletes were historically left out of concussion research and how that gap reflected broader patterns in sports medicine. ·       Osman breaks down why standard tools like the SCAT can be difficult to apply to athletes with amputations, visual impairments, spinal cord injuries, or wheelchair use. ·       He shares how baseline symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, or light sensitivity can be normal for some paraathletes and should not be assumed to indicate concussion without context. ·       We talk about the creation of the Concussion in Parasport Group and the first position statement that helped guide clinicians on assessment, management, and return to play. ·       Osman describes how the position statement used a practical color coding approach for tests: o   green for appropriate o   yellow for use with caution or modification o   red for not appropriate ·       We discuss the research and clinical gaps that led to the development of ParaScat 6 tools for wheelchair users and athletes with visual impairment. ·       Osman shares how athlete lived experience shaped the design, testing, and refinement of the new tools in real time. ·       He explains why the biggest shift for clinicians is to think carefully about baselines before doing post injury concussion assessments. ·       Osman also previews his presentation at the Sixth World Congress of Sports Physiotherapy in Bern and encourages clinicians to engage with paraathletes humbly and proactively.

We are continuing with the podcast series describing several research projects which are the centerpiece of the Center for the Study of Los Angeles (StudyLA) at Loyola Marymount University. The podcast guest, Chhandosi Roy is a Co-Principal Investigator of StudyLA and has a Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Buffalo, New York. In this episode she is telling us all about the “Angeleno Poll”, a survey that has been conducted every year since 2014, and is the largest of its kind in any metropolitan area of urban America. This research project is asking the people of Los Angeles (Angelenos) their opinion on some of the most pressing problems facing the City, and reaches more than 22,000 residents. The survey covers hundreds of hours of conversation on various topics such as the following: sense of belonging in Los Angeles, the Black experience, housing and the unhoused, the upcoming 2028 Olympics and Paralympics. Chhandosi reports that some of the conversations may include general ideas of how Angelenos feel about the future of the region, or how they think things are going for the City. Given that Los Angeles and California often have a worldwide impact, famous for innovation, creativity and optimism, listen to the answers to salient questions. At the same time in this 2026 year of much turmoil and duress, contemplate your own thoughts on these highlighted issues. The results of the Angeleno Poll are published on the StudyLA website and, as the Center's Director has discussed, reveal important information for Los Angeles leaders and organizations to use in making policy decisions for the future.

When a host city signs the contract to put on the Olympic and Paralympic Games, they don't just have to deal with local government to make them happen. LA 2028 has to work with municipal, county and state governments, as well as commissions and the federal government for funding, as well as regulatory needs. Jason Sisney, Budget Advisor for the Speaker's Office at the California State Assembly, joins us to talk about the state's involvement in the LA28 Games. From temporary venues to environmental issues - and even gun control laws, the state has been working with the LA Organizing Committee for over a decade to help the Games happen. Jason sheds light on the importance of the Games not building any new venues and what they're doing differently than in 1984. Jason shows us the amazing effort it takes from all levels of government to make an Olympics and Paralympics happen in California. As an Olympic historian, he also talks about the financial debacle that was the 1960 Winter Olympics and why the state doesn't want a repeat of that in 2028. Jason is a great follow on Instagram and LinkedIn, so add him there! Also, if you're into infrastructure talk around LA-area mega-events like the Olympics and Paralympics, check out Alissa Walker's Torched LA. She gets into the nitty gritty of all of the good stuff regarding civic funding and policy around mega-events in the Los Angeles area.    Also on this episode, the Institute for Applied Economics of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation published an economic analysis of the potential impact of the Games on the local economy. We take a look at the numbers.  Plus, LA28 is implementing a food truck program, which has Alison very excited!   For a transcript of this episode, please visit http://flamealivepod.com.   Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!     Photo courtesy of Jason Sisney.   *** Keep the Flame Alive: Obsessed with the Olympics and Paralympics?

At Atlanta 1996 swimmer Amy Van Dyken became one of the heroes of the U.S. team, bringing home a whopping four gold medals in five events. She followed that up at Sydney 2000 with another two gold medals.    After retiring and getting into broadcasting, Amy's life took a turn in 2014, when an ATV accident left her paralyzed. While she's continued to broadcast (you may have heard her as an analyst on NBC's coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics), she's also become an advocate for people with disabilities, helping able-bodied people understand the world from the eyes of someone in a wheelchair.   Alison talked with Amy about some of the specifics of her swimming training (including shave parties) and the approach to her second Olympics at Sydney. Amy shares the specifics of her injuries, the many complications she's had, and her secret for approaching recovery. They also get frank about the lack of understanding around accessibility and just how unaccessible America can be, even though there are disability laws in place.  Follow Amy online:  https://www.amyvandyken.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amyvandyken/?hl=en https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-van-dyken-rouen-oly-ab017323/ Also on this episode, it's torch relay time for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games, and Jill and Alison get into the newly announced sports program for the Karlsruhe 2029 World Games.

In this episode of Flame Bearers, host Toccara Renee speaks with Paralympic silver medalist and Team USA wheelchair basketball powerhouse Emily Oberst on transitioning into adaptive sports following a life-altering cancer diagnosis, dismantling systemic barriers for young girls, and pushing global sports media to change the narrative on para athletes. As we look ahead to the IWBF Wheelchair Basketball World Championships and the long runway to the LA Paralympics, Emily breaks down the intense tactical chess match of wheelchair classifications, channels the fire of Team USA's legendary rivalry with the Netherlands, and reminds us that true success comes from falling in love with the sport.

You know Adam Hills as the legendary host of Spicks and Specks and The Last Leg, but his off-screen sporting life is an absolute ride. A lightbulb moment at the Beijing 2008 Paralympics, mixed with inherited tennis genes and a diehard devotion to the Rabbitohs, sent Adam’s athletic career in an unexpected direction. Imagine regularly enduring a four-hour return commute for a 90-minute session of local footy...and literally RSVPing "no" to King Charles’ 70th birthday party because it clashed with your weekly training. From breaking down barriers on global TV, to conquering the world in para-standing tennis, Adam treats sport exactly as it should be treated - as a place where you belong. +++ Adam Hills is the host of The Last Leg, comedian, author and disability sports advocate.

He goes from “tip of the spear” to starting over in a single blast and he's painfully honest about what that actually feels like.Watch here at: https://youtu.be/Np6lE6zrtU0We talk with Josh Sweeney, a United States Marine Corps scout sniper who deploys to Afghanistan, gets hit by an IED, and loses both legs above the knee along with major hand injuries. Josh walks us through the moments people rarely hear about: the delayed medevac, the tourniquets, staying awake because the wrong meds could make him bleed out, and the strange fog of ICU drugs and hallucinations. Then we move into the harder fight: rehab, loss of control, and the identity crisis that hits when the uniform and the body you trusted are both gone.From there, adaptive sports becomes the doorway to a new life. Josh explains how sled hockey brought back team culture and accountability, how his “hockey sense” got him onto Team USA, and what it's like to play for gold in Russia and score the game-winning goal at the Sochi 2014 Paralympics. He also shares the real cost of elite competition, stepping away for family, rebuilding after divorce, and later finding a new lane in Para Nordic skiing and Paralympic biathlon, including the pressure and strategy of relay racing at the highest level.We also dig into performance and recovery details that matter: prosthetics realities, sweating and temperature changes after amputation, sleep and recovery as training multipliers, and why he now builds adaptive sports equipment through JS Adaptive Sports to help others get outside and compete. If you care about veteran resilience, mental toughness, adaptive sports, and what it takes to rebuild after trauma, this conversation delivers.Subscribe for more long-form conversations, share this with a friend who needs a “what's next” mindset, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you're applying this week.Follow Wild Chaos on Social Media:Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcastBam's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bambam0069Youtube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospodTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildchaospodcastMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheWildChaosPodcast

Researchers at USC and UCLA estimate nearly 6,000 unsheltered people live within one mile of LA's 2028 Olympic and Paralympic venues — more than three times the county's own official figure of 1,600. The gap between those numbers isn't a rounding error. It's a decade of institutional failure that Los Angeles can no longer hide behind a press release.Mayor Karen Bass is now being summoned before a House DOGE panel to explain how over a billion dollars in homelessness spending produced a worse count, not a better one. HUD has moved to cut fraud-riddled LA funding. Meanwhile the homeless industrial complex that absorbed all that money offers one answer for everything — more housing — while 49,000 people sleep on county streets and the 2028 clock runs down.San Francisco's Daniel Lurie is demonstrating what results-based accountability actually looks like. Los Angeles is demonstrating what happens when there are no consequences for failure.

Send us Fan MailRon O'Hare has spent more than 25 years working at the intersection of sport physiotherapy, leadership, and high performance. Today, he serves as Senior Manager of Health Performance at the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, leading integrated health services supporting Olympic, Paralympic, and high-performance athletes and coaches.But this conversation is about much more than Ron's professional résumé.We go back to his childhood, growing up “on the other side of the tracks,” and explore how sport became a place of structure, safety, identity, and belonging. Ron shares his journey from dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player to finding volleyball, eventually playing five years at Queen's University before discovering his path into physiotherapy.From there, our conversation moves through more than two decades of clinical practice, building and running his own clinic, raising four children, working within Canadian high-performance sport, and eventually stepping into health-performance leadership.Ron speaks openly about compassion, caregiving, persistence, leadership, family, professional sacrifice, and the fatigue that can come from spending a career deeply invested in helping others. We also discuss how difficult experiences, including a tragic event involving an athlete during a training camp in St. Kitts, changed his perspective on leadership, responsibility, and what really matters.At its heart, this is a conversation about the person behind the practitioner. About how our experiences shape the way we care for people, how our priorities change over a lifetime, and why meaningful careers are rarely built according to a perfectly constructed plan.Another thoughtful conversation with an experienced practitioner, leader, father, coach, and genuinely reflective human being.Enjoy.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com

What are silent discos? Thanks for asking! I don't know about you but I sure miss partying the night away. In the age of social distancing, most of us can barely remember what it's like to be part of a crowd dancing together in a club. While we wait for life to slowly get back to how it was pre-Covid, you might be interested to know about another kind of party. Even your neighbours are unlikely to complain, seeing as there's no noise. We're talking about silent discos of course! Wait, you've lost me; how can you have a disco without music? So you can have several different kinds of music at the same party, can you?

What does it really take to reach your potential—and what separates the pursuit of excellence from simply being "good enough"? In this episode, I'm joined by Mike "Frog" Frogley, one of the most highly regarded minds in wheelchair basketball, for a conversation about high performance, leadership, culture, curiosity, failure and what it really means to pursue your best. Mike represented Canada at the 1992 Paralympic Games before moving into coaching, where he would help guide Canada to back-to-back Paralympic gold medals in 2000 and 2004. Across 21 years coaching in the US collegiate system, his teams also won a combined 12 national championships. But this conversation isn't simply about medals or basketball. It's about the process behind excellence. In this episode, you'll discover:

Was hält einen Menschen aufrecht, wenn das Leben ihm gleich mehrere Urängste vor die Füße wirft – erst das Augenlicht, dann die Diagnose Hirntumor? Elena Semechin hat genau das erlebt und ist stärker zurückgekommen als je zuvor. Als Jugendliche verlor sie fast ihr komplettes Sehvermögen; heute hat sie noch zwei Prozent Sehkraft. Sie wurde zweifache Paralympics-Siegerin im Para-Schwimmen, überstand kurz nach ihrem ersten Gold einen Hirntumor mit OP, Bestrahlung und 13 Monaten Chemo – und verteidigte danach ihr Gold mit einem Weltrekord. Heute ist sie außerdem Unternehmerin, Speakerin und Mama. Wir sprechen darüber, wie aus einer vermeintlichen Schwäche ihre größte Stärke wurde, warum man sich fast auf Krisen freuen kann, wie sie Angst und Druck kontrolliert – und warum sie sich mitten in der Karriere ganz bewusst für ein Kind entschieden hat. Du erfährst... … warum Akzeptanz der erste Schritt ist, um aus einer vermeintlichen Schwäche deine größte Stärke zu machen … wie du dich auf Krisen vorbereitest und Schicksalsschläge in dein wichtigstes Learning verwandelst … wie Elena mit Angst, Druck und Erwartungen umgeht, ohne die Kontrolle zu verlieren … warum klare Ziele dir gerade in den härtesten Phasen Struktur und Halt geben __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

As part of our Great Coaches series, Kelly talks with Ali Truwit, who went from Yale Division I swimmer to shark attack survivor to Paralympic silver medalist in just over a year. Two days after her college graduation, a snorkeling trip in Turks and Caicos ended with Ali losing her left foot and part of her leg as a result of a shark attack. What followed wasn't just a physical recovery but a complete reimagining of identity, guided by coaches who understood that rebuilding Ali meant helping her see what was still there, not what was lost.

What if resilience isn't about bouncing back?What if it's about refusing to stay down?In this episode of We Didn't Plan for This, Adrienne and Nora sit down with Paralympic medalist, World Champion, Army veteran, and self-proclaimed rebel, Lia Coryell.As one of eight children growing up in extreme poverty, Lia learned early that waiting for life to hand you an opportunity wasn't a strategy. In kindergarten, Lia Coryell decided she wasn't going to be the “leftover kid.” She was going to learn everything she possibly could.That determination led her to the military, which she saw as her path out of poverty. Even after breaking her leg during basic training, she kept moving forward.And that theme would continue throughout her life.Throughout this conversation, one message rises above everything else: Be rebellious. But be rebellious successfully.Lia reminds us that resilience isn't something we're born with. It's something we build through curiosity, advocacy, hard work, and the willingness to keep showing up when life doesn't go according to plan.And in true We Didn't Plan for This fashion, she leaves us with a choice we'll never forget: You can become bitter.

Last week Fox News attempted to revive long since dead horrors for its audience - the COVID-19 pandemic, outrage over a transgender athlete scandal that did NOT include a transgender athlete and commies, commies and more commies.In late June the Supreme Court ruled that states were allowed to ban transgender athletes from K-12 and colligate sports programs for women and girls. This essentially barred transgender athletes from competing in women and girls' sports in 29 states.The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic committee announced last July that it would ban transgender women from competing. Several other sports leagues followed suit including the International Cycling Union, World Aquatics, World Boxing Organization, World Athletics Council, and the National Athletics Council (NCAA).Although the issue of transgender women and girls competing in women's athletic competitions is not completely settled the SCOTUS case and athletic league bans have greatly reduced the likelihood of transgender women and girls dominating women's sports.Sophie Cunningham, a WNBA player, voiced support for barring transgender girls in an ESPN article in late July. Fox News acted as if Cunningham was the Rosa Parks of women's basketball.After the article was published Cunningham wasn't fired or disciplined. An Adidas shoe she sponsored sold out in nearly 24 hours. She was praised and criticized for her statement with dueling protesters at some of her games.Cunningham is entitled to her opinion of course, but the hysteria seemed displaced as there is no transgender athlete in the WNBA. Even before the SCOTUS ruling and other athletic league bans transgender athletes made up less than less than 0.002% (10/500,000) of US college athletes, and even fewer of recent Olympians (0.001%) identified as trans.The hype and hysteria surrounding the Cunningham story is peak Fox News. The network knows that the bigotry and hatred of transgender people will keep its viewers interested in its programming while it ignores things like the affordability crisis, the war in Iran and the DOJ's many efforts to coverup everything related to Jeffrey Epstein.While the network whipped its audience into a frenzy about an imagined transgender takeover of the WNBA the network revived other cultural issue zombies such as rehashing disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic and the new red scare.One of the more amusing moments last week happened when Fox News immediately distanced itself from a story involving its former host Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.In a 20-page court filing, Pirro's office wrote that the damage to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool was the result of a “botched” renovation – “not vandalism”. Her office dropped criminal charges on four people connected to incidents involving the tourist attraction.President Trump was outraged insisting there was ‘tremendous vandalism' at the site. Fox News did absolutely nothing to support its former host. The network did not acknowledge how it supported Trump's false claims with surveillance footage that showed no criminal activity.
