Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio's weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. On this week's show “This Sporting Life” Having just finished two podcasts that cover a very serious subject Sam made the executive decision to move the planned show on people over 65 not being able to access the NDIS to the following week. As he said, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that they do not have enough material for said show… no not at all. So this week we hear from our Choir of Angels about how sport has affected their lives. Sam also tells us why a man born in Sydney; who grew up in Darwin and lives in Adelaide, supports the Fremantle Dockers. Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners.

In previous episodes we've touched on cricket and sailing, in short, a peripheral mention of the arrival of modern, rule based organized sport in China. The treaty ports played a big role in this, which we could argue had a sort of happy ending in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and China striding large on the world sporting stage. The story of the arrival of those sports in Hong Kong, usually began with expats doing their thing…and too often doing it with a nasty racist bias. That's partly because one leg of that arrival, as it were, lay in the importance of sport to British military life. Both routes led sooner or later to the establishment of clubs and associations that did not exclude people on grounds of their ethnicity…well, not so much. On the way we'll see how the origins of one of Hong Kong's best known sporting outfits – the South China Athletic Association – had its origins in what became China's first national football team.

We talk to Liverpool great John Barnes about his young life in Jamaica, and how his love of many sports contributed to making him the player that would one day represent England.

Sometimes, no it's almost all the time, I wish I could spend more time playing the many sports I love to play.  But I don't.  Instead, like most of us, I get caught up in organizations, politics, work, and all the other stuff that life seems to tee up.  So it was a joy to catch up on this episode with my friend Haven Pell, a man who has successfully managed to do these things while also being a lifelong sports participant, and who has tried more than 100 different ones. Perhaps the most unusual is court tennis, the predecessor to modern tennis, which is still played by about 6,000 people in roughly 50 venues in England, France, Australia and the US. Haven's just published a wonderful and quirky book Around the World in Fifty Courts about the game of “real” tennis, also known as court tennis. It's not yet on Amazon but you can find it on his publisher's web site.  Read more: https://www.billwalton.substack.com

Sorry to see you go. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit betterangels1.substack.com

Garrett and Meg kick off this Tuesday show with some thoughts on the Women's PGA Championship: the background and playing style of Ruoning Yin, the 20-year-old champion; the continued excellence of Rose Zhang; and the continued failures of the networks to air women's major championships in a suitable fashion. Garrett then checks in with Ben Coley (@BenColeyGolf) of Sporting Life about the state of the DP World Tour (28:31). Garrett and Ben talk about the (increasingly distant) possibility of a "links season" consisting of the Irish, Scottish, and British Opens as well as the tour's uncertain positioning in—or perhaps outside of—the burgeoning alliance between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. To go out on a more lighthearted note, Garrett and Ben wrap up with some recommendations (1:00:36).

Evan ‘The Strangler' Lewis took on English wrestling champion Jack Wannop on May 10th, 1888 at Chicago's Battery D Armoury: the first, and much-anticipated, wrestling ‘Championship of the World'. Lewis was banned from performing his signature move - similar to a rear naked choke as seen in mixed martial arts now - but nonetheless secured a decisive victory over Wannop, who was “nearly killed”, according to The Sporting Life. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why the Royal family's interest in the burgeoning sport had to be kept on the down-low; consider whether Wannop deliberately threw the match because he was bribed by gangsters; and reveal how, decades later, he was still re-living his glory days - but this time on the London stage… Further Reading: • ‘For Blood and Money: Jack Wannop V Evan ‘The Strangler' Lewis' (Grappling With History, 2019): https://grapplingwithhistory.com/2019/06/13/for-blood-and-money/ • ‘Bare-knuckle boys: The history of Victorian boxing and wrestling' (Who Do You Think You Are Magazine, 2023): https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/feature/victorian-boxing/ • ‘Standing Rear Naked Choke Finishes in UFC History' (UFC, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OO5CWZLbxI #1800s #US #Sport Love the show?
