THE CAM MYERS SPECIAL Fresh off breaking the world U20 indoor mile record, Cam Myers, joins the show today amidst the hype of an incredible start to his 2025 campaign. Cam, who hails from Australia, became the second-youngest runner in history to break the four-minute barrier in the mile in 2023. He kicked off 2025 by running a 3:53.12 at the Dr. Sander Invitational–taking almost two seconds off the world indoor U20 mile record that was set in 2009. He proceeded to show up to the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston and run a 7:33.12 in the 3,000m, setting an Australian national record. Cam continued to blow the doors off of U20 expectations and standards by running an astounding 3:47.48 mile at the iconic Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games on February 8, besting his previous mile record by five seconds while running the fourth-fastest indoor mile in history. In addition to his personal bests in the mile and 1500m indoors, he has an outdoor 800m PR of 1:47.11. Cam has notably broken Jakob Ingebrigtsen's mile, 1500m, and 3,000m age-group records.With Olympic dreams clearly in his sights, Cam has already secured hardware during the World U20 Championships in 2024, where he won a silver medal in the 1500m in Peru, running a 3:40.60 and just nearly missing gold. Cam started training under coach Lee Bobbin as a 10-year-old, and then began training under well-known Australian coach Dick Telford, who has guided the likes of Lisa Martin–a silver medalist in the marathon at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Before committing to running full-time as a 14-year-old, Cam dreamed of playing soccer for Chelsea. He grew up playing striker and loving the sport, before running took over prominence in his life.In today's conversation, Cam takes me through his monumental 3:47 mile, what led into this breakthrough performance, what he wants to accomplish in his career one day, his plans for 2025 and becoming the best, how he trains, and so much more.This conversation was such a treat. Cam is going place.

She won the Olympic bronze medal in Seoul Olympics in 1988 and the gold medal in Barcelona in 1992.  While she saw the pinnacle of achievement in her sports career, many other dimensions of her personality were waiting for expression for decades together. That opening of her soul happened when she stepped into Prasanthi Nilayam in Nov 2023. She longed to return to this ‘Kingdom of Love' as she calls it and visited again in Nov 2024. Fortunately, now we were able to capture a glimpse of her inner journey, which is truly a tale of how the seemingly invisible Swami brings such incredible transformations in peoples' hearts so subtly and solidly.

In this part 1 of a 2-part episode, Pierce recalls covering Bill Buckner's error, Ben Johnson's drug scandal at the Seoul Olympics, and the rollicking days of Big East basketball in the 1980s.

He was a feature writer and columnist for The National Sports Daily in 1990 and '91. His articles on sports and politics have also appeared in GQ, Sports Illustrated, the New York Times Magazine, the Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Nation, The Atlantic American Prospect, Slate, the Chicago Tribune, ESPN's Grantland, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, and the Media Matters blog Altercation.

As the Founder and President of Simbiotrek (sim-bē-ˈä-ˈtrek), Sean Kennedy wears many hats. Sean's roles include: transformation strategist and catalyst fractional COO for small- and medium-sized businesses small business peer advisory board coordinator and chair Sean works with entrepreneurs and business owners to unlock the potential trapped by the structure and capacity of their current business organization, and to build beautiful businesses together.   Sean has 20+ years of experience in software development. He's primarily concerned with Agile and Lean software, of which he is a practitioner, coach, strategist, and digital transformation leader. We delve into Sean's role in “digital transformation” and much more. Sean's clients range from: Multinationals to startups In the Americas to over in Europe and Asia Within the aerospace and automotive industry to industrial automation and insurance into health care, retail, technology, and telecommunications…he runs the gamut.   Tom Woods #TomWoods100 TomWoods.com TomSchoolofLife.com My goal is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on this show. We are building steady. Sean is the 5th person within Tom's orbit to come on the pod… First, if you don't know who Tom Woods is, you've probably been living under a rock, but Tom is a benefactor of mankind…and to my intelligence level. Check out TomWoods.com for a firehose worth of great content and then work your way to TomSchoolofLife.com. We need to keep the momentum going for this #TomWoods100 series. (And I apologize to Tom if I hijacked a hashtag he wanted &/or needed for another project…but I don't think so.) The point is—The O'Leary Review provides a platform for serious people to get the word out on what they are doing to make this world better. Also— our mission is to fight back against the crazy in this world. It exists all around us and we must eliminate it.   How I met Sean. I met Sean a few weeks back when he facilitated an accountability group within the Tom Woods School of Life that I am a part of.   “Blah blah blah…Austrian Economics…blah blah blah… I know nothing about that stuff.” Well, you should find out. And we provide a platform here—at least on the last few shows—where you can now jump on the Austrian train with relative ease. Over the last few podcasts, we've talked a bit about Austrian Economics and have provided resources in the various show notes. The following talk, however, is also worth your time if you have any inkling to discover more about why one should pursue Austrian Economics in even its basic forms. You'll likely discover that economics is indeed a field worth studying or exploring.  “The Attractiveness of Austrian Economics” by Tom Woods from July of 2013. https://youtu.be/DStLhWMRERM   More About Sean Lives in the Raleigh-Durham area after moving down from Toronto. Simbiotrek's office is in “Wake Forest.” Wake Forest, the town, is in the Raleigh-Durham area, also called the Research Triangle…not—as I found out doing a little cursory research—near Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. About a 2-hour car ride away! Notable son of Wake Forest: Bryce Love, former Stanford running back who had a phenomenal junior season at The Farm (Doak Walker Award, Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year, Unanimous All-American, etc.). Attended Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. Love had one great college season after backing up Christian McCaffrey for two seasons then got hurt his senior year, playing off-and-on. Got hurt again—ACL tear—in his final college game, but was eventually drafted by the Washington Redskins, yet dealt with more injury trouble and never ultimately played a regular season game in the NFL. Great ballplayer.   Sean's early days were spent in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kitchener, Ontario, however, and not in the Research Triangle.   Sean's rooting interest in the CFL is for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. https://www.bluebombers.com/   A couple of other famous sons of Kitchener, Ontario: Lennox Lewis Former Heavyweight Champion of the World. Last heavyweight to hold the undisputed championship. Moved to Kitchener at the age of 12. 1988 Gold medal winner at the Seoul Olympics (representing Canada).   Jamal Murray Utah Jazz guard. Currently recovering from a devastating ACL tear that caused him to miss the entire 2021-22 NBA season. Interestingly, Murray's father, Roger, competed in basketball against Lennox Lewis when they were younger and before Lewis started his boxing career. Roger also coached Jamal for a season at Orangeville Prep prior to the younger Murray going on to Kentucky to play for the Wildcats and coach John Calipari in the 2015-16 season. Murray's 20.0 scoring average is the highest for any freshman in program history and the highest single-season average for any player under Calipari in his time in Lexington. .... I am still trying to research the Canadian high school football rules Sean played under during his prep days and why it became a such a strange mashup of the Canadian and the American gridiron codes. Wikipedia has a “Comparison of American and Canadian Football,” but it does not do justice to what we were talking about in this episode. But, if you are not familiar with the code of Canadian football, but know the American code well enough—or vice-versa—this examination is a good start…  ... Game mentioned: 100th Grey Cup November 25, 2012 at SkyDome/Rogers Centre in Toronto. Toronto Argonauts 35 — Calgary Stampeders 22 Attendance: 53,208 Halftime show included Canadians: Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Marianas Trench, and the ol' troubadour himself, Gordon Lightfoot.   Sean's Core Values The Golden Rule The Stockdale Paradox   Sean Kennedy is a youth hockey coach in North Carolina One of Sean's videos takes the lessons learned from a youth hockey tournament into entrepreneurship. https://wthtm.com/entrepreneurship-and-the-new-business/entrepreneurial-lessons-from-youth-hockey/547/ Read Sean's article and watch the video. He teaches lessons on how coaching translates to the business world. It struck me when Sean mentioned Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour was watching this tournament. I think it was 10U or 11U. One of Brind'Amour's sons was playing in the same tournament. It stood out because Brind'Amour was one of my favorite hockey players in the 1990s. I've never been a big Flyers fan, but I really liked his Flyers team of that era, where he was the second-line centre. Eric Lindros led the “Legion of Doom” line with John LeClair and Mikael Renberg as wingers. I almost exclusively used the Flyers when I played NHL96 on my computer…and I did that a lot at one stage of my life. In real life, that Flyers club made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1997 but were eventually swept by the Red Wings (who won the Cup for the first time in 42 years). In that video game, it was hard to choose which future NHL general manager to put in goal for Philly: Ron Hextall or Garth Snow. Coach Terry Murray had a similar problem…both were good tenders. Rod Brind'Amour https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/b/brindro01.html Brind'Amour is now the coach for the Carolina franchise. It surprised me when I looked up his stats that he played for Carolina for so long, too. Ten seasons for the Canes to 7 as a Flyer. “Rod Brind'Amour” is also one of the great names in sports. Hard to type at times but rolls of the tongue nicely.   Better Entrepreneurial Action Network https://beaction.net/ Developed by Simbiotrek with the support of Economics for Business, a project of the Mises Institute.   Economics for Business https://mises.org/library/economics-business I only heard about this in the last several days Mises Institute has such a vast catalog of material…   Econ4Business.com https://econ4business.com/ Building a business, managing a project, launching an innovation – these are journeys from your imagination to the marketplace and customer satisfaction.

Tomas shares his life changing encounter with Jesus and how Jesus called him to create a new version of the cross. Tomas had always been sensitive in the spirit. After his church failed to help him understand and develop these gifts, he fell into the world of new age. It was 1988 when Tomas was awoken from his sleep to a vivid encounter with Christ that would lead him to truth.    In this episode Tomas shares:  -His open vision and encounter with Jesus that changed everything -How he was called to create a new version of the cross, and its meaning -A supernatural phenomenon at a church where light beamed from the cross -How a big project for the Seoul Olympics was tabled but is now finding purpose -A Buddhist receives a supernatural sign from God through the cross sculpture -A unexpected supernatural sign that came from the shadow of his art for a rehab facility -His connection to other artists who are using their art to serve others   "And for those believers that have drifted into what we call the new age, which is sort of the belief that all spokes lead to the center, a book that was a motivational book for me was called The Beautiful Side of Evil. And this challenges these spirit entities, I'm not even suggesting that they're not there. They are there. I know you're dealing with real things, but the litmus test comes down to this. Who are they serving? And are they acknowledging that Jesus is the son of God? And that they're serving him because his name is the name that they have to acknowledge and bow... There's an atonement that happens through his sacrifice. And he makes a way for us to be restored back to standing in front of the tree of a life, which is the cross being washed in the water of the word, being washed spirit, water, He cleanses us and repurposes us." - Tomas Fernandez, Prophetic Artist   To follow or contact Tomas and his prophetic art:  www.tomasjfernandezartist.com   YouTube links for Tomas: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4sLkeKp00PLlMKsrU95vEiU9bhhxdz3F Art link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-5neikP1ZhFkm3FxYVu6fw Hope Through Arts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-4RTL5iU7Q&t=77s&ab_channel=TomasFernandez Heaven's Gate   Book referenced by Tomas regarding new age and the occult:  The Beautiful Side of Evil https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Side-Evil-Johanna-Michaelsen/dp/0890813221/ref=sr_1_1?crid=31RRJ7FQNRS23&keywords=the+beautiful+side+of+evil&qid=1661612314&sprefix=the+beautiful+side+of+evil%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1   Scripture references listed in this episode: Slide # 1 – The Crux Gloria Model Rev. 1 – 14 -15 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.  His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters Matt, 7 13 - 14 You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell[a] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. John 8 12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” Slide # 2 – Crux Gloria Hebrews 12:29 - for our “God is a consuming fire.” Slide # 3 Corpus Christi The Bread of Life, Holy Communion instituted the night of the Last Supper Luke 22:19 He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” John 54 - Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

L'olam – is a Hebrew term to describe God as the vanishing point and beyond forever. Taken from Jonathan Cahn's book, The Book of Mysteries page 275. Slide #7 Healing Cross Numbers 21:9 So, Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!

In 1988, the Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was disqualified 48 hours after winning the Olympic 100 metre final and setting a new world record. It was one of the biggest doping scandals in the history of sport. Simon Watts introduces Ben Johnson interviews from the BBC archives.

Arlene Limas didn't know who she was going to fight, and she never expected that her toughest opponent would be the governing body of her own sport, Taekwondo. And why did they fight Arlene? Because she was simply too good. Still, there was drama surrounding women's Taekwondo in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Most conversations about competitive cycling that go on long enough will sooner or later get to the controversial subject of performance enhancing drugs. In the midst of the Tour de France you have likely very recently had one just like it. The times Pogacar and Vingegaard posted up the Col de la Croix on stage 13 were faster than Lance rode it, almost as fast as Pantani, once again raising speculation. Doping has been synonymous with professional bike riding for decades, with several documented cases of riders and teams being bust, some even dying in races, loaded with dangerous substances. Cynics would argue that racing for 3 weeks, nearly 200km per day, at 40km/h, let alone winning, isn't humanly possible without drugs. In the last 20 years there have also been numerous cases of amateurs being caught out and banned, and this is not unique to cycling. 7 of the 8 sprinters in the crazy fast Seoul Olympics 100m were caught and banned. Even ball sports have been affected. Sport is too competitive and lucrative to expect athletes not to seek marginal gains, especially if like so many they believe their competitors are doing the same. There was a time when those who accused flamboyant, seemingly insanely driven and talented riders like Pantani or the American hero Armstrong of being dopers, were branded as negative cynics. Then, after the most sensational sporting drama in history, that played out over a decade, even the most committed sports fans realized that doping was very real and in need of policing. Runners, rugby players, swimmers and all forms of sports people were caught and banned in an era where even teams from entire nations like Russia were denied access from competing in the Olympics by the IOC. It's been a decade since Lance finally confessed to his disgraceful career on the Oprah show. He lost all 7 of his TDF winner jerseys. The fact that nobody else was awarded any of those wins says a lot about how widespread drug abuse was in the pro peloton. Raw emotional stories shared by high profile riders in the aftermath gave us all deeper insight into the dark underbelly of sport that was almost impossible to escape for anyone with career aspirations. It's hard to imagine how anyone clean could have competed successfully in those times. Sponsors dropped teams for fear of repercussions and still today aspiring pro's and amateurs struggle to secure endorsements. Blood passports and out of competition testing has been ramped up in efforts to reduce the influence of drugs in all forms of sport. Wada (world anti doping association) and the likes have far greater insight on steroids, human growth hormone, testosterone, blood rinsing and EPO among the many scientific formulations they knew too little about. In recent years cycling has in fact led the way among sporting codes for cracking down on cheating. Let's not even Let's not even start with concealed engines. So where are we now we wonder? Riders are still climbing the legendary alpine ascents at the mind boggling speeds they were back then, and world records continue to fall despite stricter controls than ever. Sporting teams and individuals earn millions making untraceable doping affordable and a lucrative gamble for those who dare to venture into the grey space.

Journalist and sports lover Tracy Solheim loved writing since the 4th grade when she sold out of her first book--because her father bought all the copies.  Nevertheless, she was hooked on telling a good story. A bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee landed her in Washington, DC, where she wrote reports for Congress while pursuing a Master's degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University. Not totally exciting, but writing. Then she had a brief stint in television production for NBC Sports at the Seoul Olympics (1988), but most of her early writing consisted of crafting lengthy government reports.  In 2012, her first book Game On, was published and Tracy has been penning amazing romances ever since.  Her latest series, Men of the Secret Service is out and her latest holiday release, Second Chance Christmas are available now.  You can find Tracy at her website, Facebook, Instagram, BookBub, Pinterest, and Goodreads.  You can find her book list on her website and if you sign up for her newsletter, you'll get a recipe book full of holiday drink recipes featured in Second Chance Christmas.

Korea24 – 2021.10.27. (Wednesday) News Briefing: The government has decided to hold a state funeral for former President Roh Tae-woo, who died on Tuesday. In a statement explaining its decision, the interior ministry said the former president made historic mistakes related to the 1979 coup and the 1980 Gwangju pro-democracy crackdown, but that he also made contributions through his Nordpolitik policy, which included a non-aggression pact with North Korea. However it was also confirmed that he would not be laid to rest at a national cemetery. (Eunice Kim) In-Depth News Analysis: The decision to hold a state funeral for former President Roh Tae-woo came despite protests by some lawmakers, due to his role in the 1979 coup, and the 1980 Gwangju Uprising crackdown. However, others have noted his role in the nation’s transition from a military dictatorship into a democracy, during which he helped successfully host the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and his signature Nordpolitik foreign policy. Professor Song Se-ryun (송세련) from Kyunghee University joins us on the line to look closer at the mixed legacy Roh leaves behind. Korea Trending with Walter Lee: 1.

In the thirteenth episode of Hockey Te Charcha, we spoke with the charismatic former Indian hockey player MM Somaya. Somaya was a part of India's last Olympic Gold medal winning side at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, and went on to play in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics as well, before Captaining the Indian Men's Hockey Team in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In this episode, Somaya takes us on a journey of Indian hockey in the 1980s, sharing some of his experiences of playing alongside legendary players such as Mohammed Shahid, Zafar Iqbal, Vasudevan Baskaran and Mervyn Fernandis. On a lighter note, Somaya regales us with tales of camaraderie between the team, as certain players in the team went on to form a core of the Indian side which played in three Olympic Games together between 1980 and 1988. The former Indian Men's Team Captain goes on to analyse the structure laid down by Hockey India, under which the current Indian hockey teams have shown signs of flourishing. Somaya is all praises for the developments in modern grassroots training in India, offering invaluable insights from his wealth of experience in Indian and International hockey. He also shares his congratulations with the current Indian Men's and Women's teams for their remarkable performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Tune in to the episode to find out more.

Tracy Solheim's creative writing career began in the 4th grade when she published her first book.  It was a bestseller–mainly because her dad bought all ten copies she made on the school’s prehistoric Xerox machine. From there, she moved to writing a monthly column in a local newspaper. A bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee landed her in Washington, DC, writing reports for Congress while pursuing a Master’s degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University. Other than a brief gig with NBC Sports at the (1988) Seoul Olympics, most of her early writing consisted of crafting lengthy government reports, but in May 2013 her dream of becoming a published author came true with the release of her debut novel, GAME ON.  Her latest book, Just for Kicks, is the first of her newest series.

In this podcast, Margot Foster AM OLY talks to Claire Braund about the very real challenges that face sports boards today from corporate governance, to best practice, to competing state and national interests, to the evolving responsibilities of directors. Margot is the Director of The Lyceum Club, NST Member Selection Advisory Committee member of National Sports Tribunal Australia, Governance and Integrity Consultant at SIGPA and inaugural Chair of the World Athletes Election Oversight Panel (formerly IAAF), among her many roles. A former Olympian and a lawyer, Margot has a finely honed understanding of team dynamics, high performance, attention to detail and excellence. She won Gold in rowing at the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, and holds the title till this day. Her rowing profession came to a brutal end in 1988 when a panel of male selectors unilaterally decided they wouldn't send any female contesters to the Seoul Olympics. While the doors closed on her professional sporting career, Margot has remained at the strategic heart of countless sports boards since she was 18 and hasn't looked back. In 1989, Margot was appointed to the Melbourne Olympic Bid Committee for 1996 Games, which exposed her to power brokers lobbying to host the Olympics. It was at the time when no one talked about governance and Margot had to find her way autonomously. It taught her invaluable lessons and equipped her with the grit and determination needed to navigate the terrain of sport boards. The challenges have been vast and varied, Margot admits, and governance remains at the peak of the list. Sports boards are driven by peoples' passion and love for the game, but this is deeply rivaled by shifting government requirements, increasing risks, professionalization across the sector and changing television rights. Margot explains this is why the type of director required for sports boards is evolving amidst the inevitable and persistent challenges of member-based bodies, the federated model, and the fraught field of integrity. In this podcast, Margot cautions sporting organisations that if you ignore history, you peril.  Margot Foster - AM, OLY, Non-Executive Director Director of The Lyceum Club NST Member Selection Advisory Committee member of National Sports Tribunal Australia Governance and Integrity Consultant at SIGPA Inaugural Chairman of World Athletes Election Oversight Panel (formerly IAAF) Director and Vice President of Motorsport Australia Founder and Director of Talk the Talk Consulting Committee Member and Former President of Olympians Club of Victoria LinkedIn   Margot Foster AM OLY Claire Braund (host) Further Information about Women on Boards (WOB) WOB membership, events & services, please visit our website To receive our weekly newsletter, subscribe as a Basic Member (free).

As per our conversation with Duncan Armstrong OAM, today we get inside the mind of an Olympian. Sharing his experiences training and competing in the Olympics, we talk about maintaining motivation, overcoming failure and strategic goal setting. Duncan is raw and honest is his answers and doesn't hold back in sharing the peaks and troughs of his career in and out of the pool. Duncan is most fondly remembered by the Australian public for winning a gold and a silver medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics for 200m and 400m freestyle under the coaching of Laurie Lawrence. He has also been awarded Australian of the Year and a Medal of the Order of Australia in 1993. This Ep was edited by the fabulous Sinclair Hunter.

Meet Jimmy Mellado. Born in El Salvador, he spent much of his youth becoming an elite decathlete — member of a national-championship team at Southern Methodist University in 1983, a participant for his native land in the 1987 Pan American Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympics.     He still plays to win, but now it’s as the President and CEO of Compassion International, a Colorado-based, holistic-child development organization dedicated to the long-term development of children living in poverty around the world.     His battle now centers around improving the lives of a staggering 385 million children across the globe who live on less than $1.90 a day, the World Bank definition of extreme poverty. Mellado says the key in being a Good Samaritan is to focus less on doing great works and more on being like Jesus Christ.    “The most important contribution you’ll make to the kingdom of heaven isn’t what you, do but the person you’re becoming,” he, says. “And in becoming the person God wants you to become, you’ll of course will do those things, but they’ll be fruit of the person you’re becoming [rather] than human-driven.” 

This week on The Roe Show I interview Freestyle Equestrian Athlete, Coach & Olympian, Cindy Ishoy. We discuss her philosophy on coaching, training young horses for competition, how to reach excellence and how she changed the freestyle dressage mentality with her revolutionary routine in a very traditional sport, when she included the pop song, Candy Shop, by 50 Cent in her freestyle. We discuss more traditional sports like gymnastics and equestrian, which both came from a military background, and what the future might hold for them both. We also discuss the relationship between a horse and rider and how they have to work together as a team. Cindy began her riding career in Germany as a young child, but it didn't take her long to excel at the sport. As a teenager, she started turning in outstanding results for Canada. She was a member of the gold medal team and placed fourth individually at the 1971 Pan Am Games in Cali, Colombia. A year later she was the youngest equestrian competitor at the Munich Olympics, at age 20. In 1979, she became the first Canadian to win an international dressage Grand Prix event in England. In 1980 Cindy was selected to the Canadian team for the Moscow Olympics but because the Games were boycotted, she completed in alternate Games in the Netherlands. She was seventh in the 1986 World Championships and second at the 1988 World Cup in the Netherlands. A member of the bronze medal winning Canadian dressage TEAM at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, she was also fourth individually. Cindy also competed in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Her outstanding career included one more Olympic selection, in Athens, in 2004. As if her career wasn't brilliant enough, she might have achieved even more, because in 1989, her great Hanoverian partner ‘Dynasty' died from colic at the age of 12, still in the peak of his career. But she would have two other very good horses. ‘Dakar' went to Barcelona in 1992 and ‘Proton' at Athens in 2004.

In this episode, I am going to tell you a story. A very good story.Which I read long back. Have you ever heard of Lawrence Lemieux? If no, it’s okay. He is one of the heroes who inspired millions of others, who showed the value of one’s life. Lawrence was a Canadian sailor. He had a great dream to represent his country in the Olympics. His years of struggle in sailing, and his hard work at last paid off by giving him an opportunity to represent his country in Finn sailing event at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. He was filled with complete joy. He was confident of achieving a gold medal. But, his struggle did not win him a gold medal, it won him worth more than that. What did he win? Let’s see. He did not win a gold medal, but his name is always listed on the “all-time greats”.Why? Because, he did achieve something more than that, that is he saved the lives of two other sailors, who were on the edge of life and death.

This episode is a wide-ranging interview with Andy Greenberg, author of Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers. The book contains plenty of original reporting, served up with journalistic flair. It digs deep into some of the most startling and destructive cyberattacks of recent years, from two dangerous attacks on Ukraine's power grid, to the multibillion-dollar NotPetya, and then to a sophisticated but largely failed effort to bring down the Seoul Olympics and pin the blame on North Korea. Apart from sophisticated coding and irresponsibly indiscriminate targeting, all these episodes have one thing in common. They are all the work of Russia's GRU. Andy persuasively sets out the attribution and then asks what kind of corporate culture supports such adventurism – and whether there is a strategic vision behind the GRU's attacks. The interview convinced me at least that the GRU is pursuing a strategy of muscular nihilism – "our system doesn't work, but yours too is based on fragile illusions." It's a kind of global cyber intifada, with all the dangers and all the self-defeating tactics of the original intifadas. Don't disagree until you've listened! Download the 286th Episode (mp3).

This week is a very special edition of Because of Horses! Your host, Elise Gaston Chand, talks with some of the horse world’s most accomplished equestrians — sharing their riding and training philosophies, their insights into horses, advice for aspiring competitors, and their fondest memories of the Hampton Classic Horse Show! These featured guests are Georgina Bloomberg, Kelli Cruciotti, Peter Wylde, Joe Fargis, and Chief Press Officer Marty Bauman.   For over 40 years, the Classic has featured world-class riders and horses — including Olympic and Pan American Games medalists — from around the globe, competing for $800,000 in prize money. With something for everyone, from the avid horse lover to the non-equestrian spectator, the Classic is one of the largest outdoor horse shows in the U.S.; a not-to-miss segment on the summer tour. Where else can you watch McLain Ward, Kent Farrington, and Anne Kursinski compete… then spot Bruce Springsteen watching his phenomenally talented daughter, Jessica, clear a course in record time? Or see Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Kelly Ripa, Brooke Shields, or Martha Stewart stroll by?   The Classic is also an event straight from the heart with fundraising and community support, animal adoptions onsite, championship competition for disabled riders, and one of the most anticipated classes during the week-long show: Leadline, with our littlest riders judged by two-time Olympic gold medalist, Joe Fargis.    The Classic runs August 25th through September 1st, 2019, in Bridgehampton, New York.   Ready to talk with the greats? Tune in!   About our accomplished guests: Joe Fargis is one of the greats of show jumping. He trained under the legendary Bertalan de Nemethy and is perhaps best known for his partnership with the Thoroughbred mare Touch of Class, with whom he won the individual and team gold medals at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He also won the team silver medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympics with Mill Pearl. Joe was inducted into the Show Jumping Hall of Fame in 2007 and was awarded the US Equestrian Federation Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. US Olympian, trainer and youth mentor Peter Wylde is one of the most well-respected horsemen in the sport of show jumping, not just for his extensive competitive success but also his commitment to the education of both amateurs and juniors. Peter is best known for his partnership with Turnabout Farms’ Fein Cera, who he rode to the individual bronze and the Best Horse award at the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez, Spain, and the team gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Peter is a three-time grand prix winner at the Hampton Classic.   Georgina Bloomberg is a native New Yorker and international show jumper who grew up competing all along the east coast. She made her FEI World Cup Final debut in 2005 and was a member of the winning team in the Samsung Super League Nation’s Cup in France. Georgina was a member of the bronze medal-winning Pan American Games team in 2015 and competed in Gothenburg, Sweden in this year’s Longines FEI World Cup Finals. She is a noted philanthropist, focusing particularly on issues related to animal welfare. Kelli Cruciotti is an emerging star in U.S. show jumping, currently ranked 26th in the country by the United States Equestrian Federation, and a 2020 Olympic hopeful. Kelli enjoyed a storied junior career, with success in all three rings and a win at the coveted 2015 USEF/Pessoa Medal Finals, but today show jumping has become her main passion. After turning professional in 2016, Kelli has continued to pile up top results in the jumper ring at such prestigious shows as Devon, Harrisburg, the Hamptons, Capital Challenge, Washington and more. In 2019, she represented the United States in her first Longines FEI World Cup Final in Gothenburg, Sweden, finishing 16th on her mare, Hadja Van Orshof.   Topics of Discussion: [:18] About today’s special episode!

As the 42nd Ryder Cup takes place in Paris, Caroline Barker, alongside former PGA President Roger Warren and LPGA tour professional Olafia Kristinsdottir, explores whether the competition should follow its junior edition and have teams made up of men and women. When their team folded and their last chance to put themselves in the shop window for next season was taken away, professional cyclists Larry Warbasse and Conor Dunne packed up their bikes and headed out on an eight day tour of their own from their base in Nice. Former US Champion Larry and Irish Champion Conor take us through the emotions of their "No Go Tour". 30 years ago the brand new Olympic 100 metres champion Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal at the Seoul Olympics for doping. We look at what's changed since the "the dirtiest race in history" and hear from Calvin Smith, one of only two men in the 1988 final that was never implicated in a drugs scandal or failed a test. We also hear from the founding president of the World Anti-Doping Agency Dick Pound who had to act as Johnson's legal representative at his International Olympic Committee hearing in 1988. Michelle Gormley-McLaughlin hadn't played a game of rugby until her 40th birthday. Seven years on she's just earned her first cap for Ulster, proving it's never too late to take up a new sport. As the regular MLB season draws to a close we're in Colorado with the state's Vintage Base Ball Association as they celebrate and play by the original rules of the sport that date back to 1864 and the American Civil War. And boxer turned actor, turned acting boxer, Brad Moore joins us to talk about his new film "Gloves Off" and explains how two years on the stand-up comedy circuit helped him learn to act at the age of 40.

Mark broke onto the scene at the age of 18, qualifying for the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow (which were boycotted). At age 20, he represented Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia, 1982, and won the Gold Medal in the 110-metre hurdles in a Canadian and Commonwealth record. He repeated this achievement at the Commonwealth Games, Edinburgh, Scotland, 1986, once again setting a new Canadian and Commonwealth record. In 1984, qualifying for the Olympics a second time, Mark finished a close 4th in Los Angeles, setting numerous Canadian records on the route. He was disappointed with his performance at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, placing 7th in the hurdle finals. But he spectacularly redeemed himself in the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, 1992, taking the Gold Medal in the 110m hurdles, the first Track Gold Medal for Canada in 64 years. A five-time Olympian, Mark was a member of Canada’s National Track and Field Team, 1980-94. He still holds the world record for the 50m hurdles (set in 1986 in Osaka, Japan), and is the former world record holder in the 60m hurdles and 4 X 200m relay. He is widely recognized as one of the fastest human beings from a still start in history. In 1996, he provided explosiveness training to the Canadian National Karate team prior to the World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic. The Team responded by winning 36 medals, by far their greatest total medal haul ever. Mark has extensive experience in creating the world’s best fitness and athletic training programs. He is also a recognized expert in empowering and training others in how to have a mindset of a champion and apply it to get breakthrough results everywhere in life, including in health & fitness, and in building winning teams and support structures. He is the world’s foremost motivator and educator of trainers in the top health & fitness methodologies. His leading skills are as a leader, doer, innovator, communicator, coach, trainer, tactician, motivator, change agent and fitness guru. Mark has been in the health and fitness industry for almost 40 years. Developing programs for himself and others as a teenager, he has continued (and continues) to develop and implement programs for a range of individuals from novice to professional.

Former Socceroos captain Paul Wade (118 Australia caps, 345 NSL games, '88 Seoul Olympics campaign, 2 World Cup campaigns) joins Shannon and Fiona to talk about family, football and overcoming adversity. He tells the girls why marking Maradona isn’t his career highlight, why his nickname was ‘Westgate’ and that being a homebody meant he never had a desire to chase a professional career overseas. He opens up about his epilepsy and the brain surgery he underwent to manage it and how he copes and manages that in his life and career now, including the spoonerisms he’s mastered to exercise his memory.

In today’s episode I sit down with the ever humble, focused, and driven Greg Barton, founder of Epic Kayaks (originally Epic Paddles)  and the most decorated US paddler in history.   Greg won Bronze in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics then  broke a 52 year drought for the US when he won back to back gold medals in the 1000 meter K1 and 1000 meter K2 disciplines in the 88 Seoul Olympics.   Never one to rest on his laurels, Greg came back 4 years later and took another Bronze in Barcelona at his final olympics in 1992   I’ve had the fortune of spending time with Greg on multiple occassions and even paddling in a tandem surf ski with him, but never knew all the details of his early beginning and his path to being the fastest paddler in the world.   It is quite an amazing story of focus, dedication, persistence, and humility.   Greg and I cover extensive ground in this 1 hour 40 minute discussion including, but certainly not limited to, the following: How a kid growing up on a pig farm in southern Michigan got introduced to paddlingGreg’s very first trophyThe pivotal moment when Greg was just 12 years old and decided Olympic hardware was his missionHis first paddling coachTraining during his years studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of MichiganGreg’s first, second, and third Olympics including winning back to back gold medals in 1988 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p60-Vo_bocsBuilding his first paddles in the family barnRecovering from chronic fatigue in the early 80sWorking 30 hours a week plus training before the 1988 Olympics and The power of distraction to recover from trainingUsing his own custom built paddles in the OlympicsThe beginning of the wing paddle and Greg’s first experiences with itThe practical need that led to the inspiration for a 2 piece paddleGreg’s thoughts on feathering of the paddle and his own progressionThe very first boat built by Epic  (hint: it wasn’t a surf ski)Greg’s approach to building boats from the very beginning and the  Youtube video comparison of Epic Sea Kayak versus traditional kayakGreg’s thoughts on the future of surf ski designThe secret to how Greg developed such explosive power in the boatGreg’s thoughts on training in a K1 versus a Surfski

Scott Russell's Back Story on the Ben Johnson doping scandal and the dirtiest race in history.

This past August, the saga of Lance Armstrong came to its inglorious end. The seven-time champion of the Tour de France and Olympic medalist ended his defense against charges that he had engaged in blood doping during his cycling career. In the judgment of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the end of Armstrong’s challenge was effectively a concession of guilt. The body responded by stripping Armstrong of his titles and banning him from cycling competitions. Armstrong, however, has continued to maintain his innocence. It appears that many Americans agree with him. In various polls conducted after the USADA’s actions, large majorities of respondents stated their belief that Armstrong had not engaged in doping. But outside the US, opinion of the cyclist is somewhat different. As Peter Beaumont remarked in The Observer, the real question is not whether Armstrong engaged in doping, it’s why his fall from grace didn’t come sooner. Lance Armstrong now joins a notorious collection of athletes who have been stained by allegations or proof of doping: baseball’s Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, sprinter Marion Jones, swimmer Michelle Smith, cross-country skiers Olga Danilova and Larissa Lazutina, Chinese swimmers of the late 1990s. Chris Cooper begins his study of the science of doping with what was perhaps the most shocking episode of a champion athlete caught doping: Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson, who set the world record in the 100-meter dash at the 1988 Seoul Olympics only to be stripped of his record and gold medal days later. As Cooper points out, athletes had long been using anabolic steroids. And indeed, Johnson was not the only sprinter in that race to have been found using drugs. But the fall of the gold medalist in the Olympics’ marquee event brought the use of performance-enhancing drugs to broad public attention. Since 1988, great athletic accomplishments have been viewed with suspicion, while athletes have been obligated to pee in cups. Athletes still take performance-enhancing drugs. Why? What benefits, if any, do they gain? Chris’ book, Run, Swim, Throw, Cheat: The Science Behind Drugs in Sport (Oxford University Press, 2012), addresses these questions. As a researcher in biochemistry, Chris explains what the drugs do, and whether they work. We learn from the interview that doping does provide a clear advantage, in some instances. But in other cases, the drug’s effects are slim–which raises the question: should they be banned? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
