"We won in Paris by winning every day." For Asia Hogan-Rochester, rugby wasn't part of the plan — until it became their world. The Toronto native went from going to gym class in jeans to standing on the Olympic podium, silver medal in hand. Asia shares how growing up, "I wasn't an athlete. My sport was yapping." But, at 17, Asia picked up a rugby ball. Their friend's older sister (now teammate), Charity Williams, had returned to high school with an Olympic medal and as Asia shares, “I finally saw someone from my community who looked like me — and who believed I could do this, too.” That moment ignited a spark that became a fire for Asia, and after seeing the power of a role model firsthand, they hope to be that person for others. "Rugby is for everyone." Asia goes a step further, encouraging individuals to stop waiting and to get in the game. “If you're waiting to see someone who looks like you, stop waiting. Be that person for someone else.” While Asia has had incredible success, they have also had quite a few setbacks including a devastating ACL tear that nearly sidelined their Olympic dreams. But with grit (and glitter), Asia came back stronger, helping Canada qualify for the Paris Games and eventually stand toe-to-toe with powerhouses like New Zealand. In our conversation, Asia opens up about injury recovery, mental health, and the power of representation. She urges you to not “wait to be confident." Whether scoring tries or growing their social media presence, Asia is proof that you can shine — both on the field and off. Their ask? “If you've thought about trying rugby…this is your sign. Do it.” --------------- Flame Bearers is a multi media movement, illuminating the unsung stories of exceptional women athletes from around the world.

NBA Paris Games means special guests! The Basket Time Dream Team welcomes Indiana Pacers legend Jalen Rose, one of today's leading basketball analysts. Interviewed extensively on a wide range of subjects, he gives his views over 40 fascinating minutes. So what did he think of the two games in Paris between the Spurs and Pacers? Is he surprised by Wembanyama's maturity? How long before our Frenchie is the best player in the league? Will he manage to get a ring before the end of his career? As for the Olympic Games and the France v USA rivalry, is Team USA in danger? Which players for 2028? Was he impressed by Steph Curry's monumental finish? Does he think the criticism levelled at Rudy Gobert is justified? Jalen Rose also talks about today's basketball: less aggressivity, less intensity, more 3-point shooting, low management... Does he regret the basketball of his time? Who will be MVP this season? Not forgetting a look back at his career, his encounters with the greatest players of all time, his regrets, his NBA final against the Lakers in 2000, his friendship with Kobe Bryant (to whom he deliberately screwed up the ankle before he planted 81 points on him) and his admiration and respect for Michael Jordan.

Behind the Story is taking a break over summer. We'll be back soon with new episodes but, until then, here's one of our favourites from 2024: Anna Rawhiti-Connell knows more about the internet and how it functions than probably any other journalist in New Zealand. And this week she had the perfect subject: Raygun, the Olympic breakdancing competitor from Australia. Raygun has been many different things since she first revealed herself in the final weekend of the Paris Games. She's been an icon, an embarrassment, a hero, and now apparently the subject of an investigation. Anna tracked her rise and fall and rise and fall in a deep dive for The Spinoff. She joins Madeleine Chapman this week to talk about the latest developments, as well as share in some lukewarm takes about New Zealand's success in Olympic sports.

Ryan Murphy is a nine-time Olympic medal-winning swimmer, but it hasn't all been podium glory. At this summer's Paris Games, Ryan missed qualifying for the men's 100 meter backstroke by one tenth of a second. And that was after he had just won silver in the 200 meter. It's these extraordinary swings between triumph and disappointment that Ryan is so brilliant at managing. Through it all, he's learned to roll with the lows just as easily as he celebrates the highs. There are few endeavours that can match the intense 24-7, 365 day per year commitment and pressure of being an Olympian, and in this episode, we get lessons in stress management and keeping things in perspective that anyone can use. From his early years in competitive swimming when he actually vomited from nerves before every race, to his philosophical views on winning and losing, Ryan takes us through a career that's been built on family and team support, and incredible focus and drive. He also discusses his passion project, opening his St. Johns. Florida location of Goldfish Swim School, and helping to share the joyful and lifesaving skill of swimming.You don't want to miss this great conversation as we get an Olympic icon's valuable wisdom on performing under pressure, the power of a team, dealing with the unknowns, and yes, managing the expectations. About Ryan MurphyRyan Murphy began breaking records as soon as he started swimming at age 5. Through dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment, Ryan has fulfilled his academic and athletic dreams. While at the University of California, Berkeley, he won both the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events at the NCAA Championships for four straight years. He holds the American Record in multiple backstroke events. In his Olympic debut in Rio, Ryan won three golds medals, sweeping the backstroke events and helping the U.S. win gold in the 4x100m medley relay, where his backstroke lead-off set a world record. As one of the most dominant swimmers in the world, the 23-year-old swept the backstroke events at the 2018 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, won six medals (three gold and three silver) at the 2018 Swimming World Championships in Hangzhou, China, and was named the 2018 Male Athlete of the Year by USA Swimming. In 2021, he shined in Tokyo winning gold in the 4×100 meter medley relay, silver in the 200-meter backstroke and bronze in the 100-meter backstroke. A native of Ponte Vedra Beach (Jacksonville), Fla., Murphy is passionate about giving every young child the opportunity to learn how to swim and being a role model for young swimmers.

Formerly anonymous Arizona high school running coach Mike Scannell has become a sensation in the American distance running community with the amazing success of his runner Grant Fisher, the undisputed king of American long distance running! Grant had a sensational Paris Olympic Games, winning bronze medals in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. These are events where only a handful of Americans have ever won Olympic medals, ever! Mike is an old friend, a former elite collegiate runner, and a fellow competitor on the professional duathlon circuit, and it was amazing to catch up with him and detail the amazing Olympic journey! The backstory of Grant and Mike is pretty amazing. Mike coached Grant in high school in Michigan, where he became one of only eight high schoolers ever to break four minutes in the mile. Grant then headed off to a great NCAA career in Stanford and a pro career with the elite Bowerman Track Club team in Oregon. In a surprise mid-career shift, Grant decided to go about it his own way. He moved to Park City, UT for altitude training, and phoned up his old high school coach looking for guidance. This is less than a year before the Olympics as America's top distance runner! In this show, Mike will discuss the risks and pressures elite athletes face (and their coaches!) You'll be taken behind the scenes for the Paris Games and the extraordinary measures Grant and Mike took to ensure he could focus and succeed. You'll love the story of how Grant and Mike were locked inside the Olympic stadium late at night after winning his 10,000 meter bronze. You'll learn about Mike's evolved approach where he is solely focused on serving the athlete and avoids getting the all-too-common coaching ego into the mix. You'll learn about today's popular scientific approach to endurance training centered upon measuring and controlling blood lactate levels during workouts, and why many runners "ruin their workouts" with a less disciplined approach. You'll learn the benefits of altitude training, and how Grant's mindset and extensive rehearsals helped him execute awesome strategy at both Olympic races. At the end, Mike provides some profound insights for young runners and their parents about the importance of being motivated naturally and intrinsically. You'll also learn why, a couple decades ago, crime didn't pay in Tucson, AZ, where you might have gotten into a foot pursuit with someone who would most definitely outlast you...I've known and studied lots of coaches over the years, and I don't think you'll find a more healthy and evolved disposition than that embodied by Mike. No wonder Grant phoned him up out of the blue and asked for help going and getting some Olympic medals! Enjoy the show. Young runners can get a daily tip of inspiration by following Mike on X @realironmike TIMESTAMPS: We take a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on with Olympic athletes and their coaches. [00:53] Coaching Grant Fisher in the Olympics, Mike is able to share his expertise. [06:06] What we commonly see these days are high profile teams with big sponsors. It's a different approach from what Mike and Grant have done. [07:54] How did Mike's own experiences with coaches help him to get this particular disposition? [13:43] With the scientific approach, the thing the runner can do is check blood lactate. [16:20] Besides checking blook lactate, Mike checks heart rate, hematocrit and hemoglobin and other things. [19:38] When training at altitude or in the heat of Arizona, you have to cut the tempos why back. [21:19] It is very easy to ruin a workout by using that competitive intensity to work really hard. [23:40] What kind of volume and load can you put on the runner so that he absorbs the training and is ready for the next session? [27:33] You can have all the tech toys in the world but you have to listen to it! [29:48] When you make a detailed plan for the athlete, how often to you deviate from that plan? [31:17] Grant takes good care of himself. He takes care of sleep, massage, his food at home. [39:58] How do they manage the constant risk of overuse injuries? [41:05] In taking on the job to coach Grant Fisher, did you feel nervous about the whole USA expecting some medals? [45:36] What was his experience in Paris? What was the race strategy? [50:00] Living and training at altitude helps your body build additional red blood cells, but when you come down to sea level, you lose some of the benefits. [59:34] When running in the prelim, all you need is to be in the eight finalists. [01:04:13] Staying in the Olympic Village with the other athletes can be fine for social interactions, however, when you have big important events to still compete in, being around rowdy parties doesn't work. [01:05:53] You have to plan on when you need to go faster when you are in the big race. [01:09:15] There is no reason for Grant Fisher to take the lead in the Olympics first 4,000 meters. [01:12:46] Mike's coaching method involves only when the athlete himself asks for coaching, not if the parent asks. [01:21:50] High school kids don't know what they can't do so please don't tell them.

The sixth day of track and field at the Olympics was another huge one for Team USA! Quincy Hall claimed the 400m gold medal while Kenneth Rooks shocked the world with a silver medal finish in the 3000m steeplechase.
