Summer may be coming to a (merciful) end for Andy and Brendan soon, but not before LIV Golf will finish its 2026 season and maybe entire existence! The two dive into all of the news surrounding this week's makeshift season-ending event in Indianapolis, covering the latest rumors about Jon Rahm's next move, reports of new lawsuits from vendors, and the fact that players have not yet been paid for their finishes at LIV New York. The Boys are already in the great town of Indianapolis and are being encouraged to go "full Woodward and Bernstein" at what may be LIV Golf's final event. PJ is not exactly up for this massive challenge and was looking forward to a week of bits, but things have gotten more serious than anticipated. Andy and Brendan wonder about what players like Jason Kokrak, Talor Gooch, and even Dustin Johnson do next if this is, in fact, the end of the road for LIV as we know it. On the PGA Tour, the once-Western Open heads to Bellerive for another week of sweaty playoff golf. Andy wants this event to break ties with its Western Open heritage and has absolutely no interest in discussing the golf course or the test at hand for the FedEx Cup top 50. Brendan runs through the rest of a loaded Schedule for the Week, including TWO Canadian events, another sponsor invite for Blockie, and the U.S. Senior Women's Open. To wrap things up, the two discuss the Walker Cup picks for Team GB&I before sending The Boys into the unknown at LIV Indy. Experience the power, precision and versatility of Mercedes-Benz SUVs.

Mark and Gabby find out all about, the ‘serve guru' who has been tasked with tweaking the British Tennis star's action and keeping his body in one piece.And it's a big day in football history as on this day one Lionel Messi made his International debut for Argentina, while on this day in 1996 David Beckham scored from the halfway line at Selhurst Park and one of the Sports Agents was there that day - watching not working and, for reasons unknown, wearing plastic snake skin trousers in the searing heat.It couldn't possibly be Mark.

One of the most spectacular solar eclipses the UK has seen for decades is taking place this evening.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of AMP.This episode features Kev Appleton, GB Agegrouper and fellow YouTuber.Kev says "My Triathlon Journey started in 2017 when i was persuaded to enter the Blenheim Palace Sprint Triathlon in 2018. A year of training to get from over weight and unfit to to some kind of fitness I completed taht first Sprint race and was well and truly bitten by the bug.Later in 2018 I had my second triathlon but stepped up to Standard Distance at Woburn Abbey. Over the next few years I competed in several sprint Triathlons and returned to Blenheim again in 2020 and 2021I was soon stepping up again to 70.3 with Outlaw X, Outlaw Nottingham Half and Outlaw 70.3 Holkham, Ironman 70.3 Duisburg all completed. In 2023 we entered a Relay Team into Outlaw X with my employer Chairman and colleague we finished an amazing 3rd Place with a combined age of 167 years! Finally running out of excuses I'd entered the Outlaw Full in 2023. This was my first "Iron" Distance, wasn't to be my last though as I now "had" to do an "Ironman" race so Barcelona was the target for 2024. Earlier in 2024 as part of my training I completed Wales Long Course Weekend in Tenby.2025 I committed to a year of Sprint Distance racing with the intention of qualifying for the age group Team in Banyoles 2026. Making the Aquathlon Team is a great honour for me and has increased the determination to qualify for Sprint and Standard distance Teams for World and European Championships in 2027"follow Kev's journey on his YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@SwimBikeRunKevFollow on instagram @nivek4628You Can find the 1001 Triathlon Tips using this link - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GX39Z7P5follow us on Instagram - AMP_podcastFacebook Richard Joseph ConwayYoutube - AMP GBSupport the show

TNT lead cycling presenter, Orla Chennaoui joins Georgie Ainslie for a conversation about anxiety, sobriety, cycling and life inside the Tour de France.As this year's Tour unfolds, Orla gives a brilliant insider's view on what makes the race so brutal, beautiful and tactically complex. She explains why Tadej Pogačar is surrounded by riders who could lead other teams, how domestiques sacrifice their own ambitions to protect a leader, and why the Tour is not just 21 days of racing, it is a relentless machine of recovery, logistics, pressure and performance.Orla also reflects on how she fell in love with cycling, from covering Team GB after Beijing to being drawn into the atmosphere, access and human stories of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.Away from the road, she opens up about the anxiety that has shaped much of her life, the online abuse that nearly pushed her away from television, and the decision to stop drinking 11 years ago, which she describes as the best decision she has ever made.In this episode, Orla shares the story behind Ten Times Braver, the question that changed her life, and the tools she uses to manage fear, from box breathing to her “one song reset”.This is a conversation about the hidden realities of elite sport, the pressure behind live broadcasting, and learning how to stop chasing happiness and start living it.FAQsWho is Orla Chennaoui?Orla Chennaoui is a sports broadcaster best known for her cycling coverage, including the Tour de France.

Although she was selected as the reserve athlete for Team GB, she narrowly missed the opportunity to compete on home soil.That same summer marked the beginning of a new chapter. Danusia moved to the United States to pursue higher education while continuing her gymnastics career. At the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), she flourished, graduating in 2016 as an NCAA balance beam champion. Renowned for her creativity and originality, she performed some of the most distinctive and innovative balance beam skills in the world, earning admiration from fans, judges, and fellow gymnasts alike.The opportunity to compete for Jamaica reignited her Olympic ambitions and provided a second chance to achieve the dream she had chased since childhood. Nine years after narrowly missing the London Games, Danusia stepped onto the Olympic stage at Tokyo 2020, proudly representing her Jamaican heritage and completing one of the sport's most inspiring comeback stories.Since retiring from artistic gymnastics, Danusia has successfully transitioned into a diverse creative career. She has become a respected broadcaster, choreographer, and stunt performer, continuing to combine athleticism with artistry in new and exciting ways.This is Danusia Francis's story—a journey of perseverance, reinvention, and the relentless pursuit of an Olympic dream.

This week, Robyn and Will are joined by one of British Cycling's most decorated track riders, Victoria Pendleton. Over a career that spanned more than a decade, Victoria won two Olympic gold medals and one silver, nine World Championships, two European Championships and the Commonwealth Games, although arguably her biggest contribution to cycling was her legacy. Along with Team GB alumni such as Laura Kenny, Joanna Rowsell, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoy, Victoria helped inspire a generation of young riders and helped put British cyclists on the map, and propelled cycling as a sport into the British mainstream.However, Victoria's relationship with cycling hasn't always been a happy one. She retired after the 2012 Olympics stating she'd achieved everything she set out to do on a bike, only later to reveal that she found the British Cycling programme increasingly difficult to be a part of, and latterly coming out in support of former teammate Jessica Varnish's allegations about the BC culture, which in part led to the resignation of coach Shane Sutton amid wider allegations of sexism and discrimination.In 2015, Victoria switched a bike for a horse, and by 2016 she had completed ‘probably the greatest achievement of my life' when she finished fifth in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. Occasional sports commentary and multiple TV show appearances have kept her busy since, and earlier this year she released her psychology book,The Fear Opportunity, which draws on her experiences as both an athlete and in day-to-day life. In this episode, Victoria discusses her own fear of failure and change, the impact of the media and external noise, women's progress in sport and the psychology of mental resilience.Chat begins at 6.44Check out Victoria's new book, The Fear Opportunity (Pan Macmillan) here------------------This episode is brought to you by the Maserati Grecale SUV car.

世界杯赛场上，大多数国家只有一支国家队，但英国却是个例外。英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰都是拥有独立的足球协会、独立参加世界杯资格赛，甚至还能在国际赛场上彼此交锋的球队。为什么同一本护照、同一个君主、同一个国家，却能拥有四支国家队？本期「英伦奇葩说」，Bessie从现代足球诞生的历史讲起，聊到英国四大足球协会如何早于 FIFA 建立起自己的体系，也解释了为什么FIFA至今仍保留这项全球独一无二的制度安排。更有意思的是，这种"分裂"并不只存在于足球，橄榄球也有一种切法，板球又是另一种切法，但奥运会必须统一成Team GB，而英联邦运动会又重新各自代表家乡出赛。这看似混乱的规则背后，其实藏着英国数百年来对于国家、地方认同与历史传统的理解。在英国，联合（United）从来不等于融合（United as One）。【本节目由Withinlink碚曦投资协作体出品】【主持】李倩玲 Bessie Lee广告营销行业资深从业者，商业观察者【本期内容提要】00:12 为什么英国只有一个国家，却有四支世界杯国家队？01:25 现代足球诞生：英国四大足球协会是如何形成的？03:03 世界第一场国际足球赛，为什么就是英格兰对苏格兰？04:48 FIFA成立之前，英国早已有属于自己的"世界杯"05:50 足球规则到底谁说了算？IFAB与英国四大协会的特殊地位07:35 四支国家队为什么能够一直保留到今天？10:14 "Anyone But England"是英国足球最著名的球迷文化12:15 为什么四支球队赛前唱的国歌都不一样？14:03 足球之外，英国其他运动又是怎么"分家"的？14:26 橄榄球：北爱尔兰为什么会和爱尔兰共和国组成同一支国家队？16:31 板球：为什么威尔士反而"消失"了？18:03 奥运会必须统一成Team GB，为何足球项目依然例外？19:55 同一个运动员，为什么有时代表英国、有时代表威尔士？21:30英国体育版图为何始终没有统一？22:47 联合不等于融合，足球只是照见了英国真正的国家认同【线下见面邀请】伦敦·中文播客嘉年华 2026 7 月 18 日，我将与多位中文播客的好朋友，包括《去现场》杨一、《贝望录》李倩玲 Bessie、《严艺家》严艺家、《碳基生物生存指南》梦妮、《艺术叨叨》兰奕 以及《大不列颠颠一颠》肖恩，出现在伦敦举办的首次英国中文播客创作者线下聚会。 这是英国首次中文播客创作者线下聚会，六位中文播客主播将同台出现，一起讨论： 在 AI 能够复制声音、生成内容的时代，“真实的人声”有什么不可替代的东西？我们会从创作经验、表达方式、以及声音媒介的未来变化出发，展开一场面对面的讨论。在 AI 复制的时代，我们去现场听真实的人说话。欢迎所有对播客、声音表达和内容创作感兴趣的朋友前来。 时间：7 月 18 日（周六）14:00–17:00 地点：帝国理工学院（Imperial College London） 报名：https://luma.com/ev6tmt34【后期制作】Jean【收听方式】推荐您使用Apple Podcast、小宇宙APP、喜马拉雅FM、荔枝播客、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、Spotify或任意泛用型播客客户端订阅收听《贝望录》。【互动方式】微博：@贝望录微信公众号：贝望录+商务合作：beiwanglu@withinlink.com

Today's episode is a belter for two reasons! Firstly, because our guest, Abbie Breakwell, has already had an amazing tennis journey although she's only 23 years old! Abbie is one of the UK's leading wheelchair tennis players who competed for Team GB in the 2024 Paralympic Games. The second reason is it a belter is because this episode is hosted by a special guest called Charlie. Charlie is 15 years old and was one of the very first pupils I coached when I became a full time coach. Charlie has always had a flair on the court and as you'll hear he also has a flair for interviewing!We hear from Abbie about what it was like to compete in the Paralympics and what life inside the Olympic village was like. We hear about what it's like to be a player on tour and what Abbie's hopes and dreams for the future are. I hope you'll enjoy listening to the episode as much I did!FOLLOW ABBIE ON INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/abbiebreakwellMusic CreditsEarth by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** In this episode I welcome Annasley Park - a British adventurer and former elite cyclist who, after overcoming career-ending injuries and an eclectic journey through sports and global exploration, became one of only nine women ever to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean. https://annasleypark.com/ We discuss Park stumbling into elite cycling after overtraining as a runner (Osgood-Schlatter's and back pain), joining Team GB at 17–18, learning the brutal technicality and team tactics of track/road racing, and racing at the Doha World Championships alongside Lizzie Armitstead, while managing chronic pain, weight scrutiny, WADA/UKAD restrictions, and internal politics. We talked about the end of her pro cycling due to EILO (exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction) and unaffordable surgery, triggering an identity crash and jobs from cleaning to running a solo chalet in the French Alps, then four years in superyachting. After burnout and glandular fever in 2023, she did a 10-day silent Vipassana course, trauma-informed somatic training, and set out independently to row the Atlantic solo; after capsizing 10 hours in, she decided, “I was either gonna die out there or make it,” completed 54 days, and now builds a resilience framework around solitude, magnitude, and attitude, emphasizing authentic reputation, clear “why,” and support during reintegration.

The government's independent advisor on rape, Professor Katrin Hohl, is warning that despite an overhaul on how to investigate rape, there is a lack of awareness of the changes across courts in England and Wales which is affecting the outcomes of trials. Also today, the Justice Secretary David Lammy is launching a new national Legal Advisors service for rape victims, as well as a pilot project that will look at shifting the focus of rape court cases from the victim to the perpetrator. It will be led by Professor Hohl who joins presenter Nuala McGovern to discuss it along with Nogar Ofer from the Centre for Women's Justice.As the Winter Paralympics get underway, we look at why women remain under-represented. Only 26.5% of Paralympians are expected to be women, and just 24% of Team GB.

Team GB won its first event on snow, and Brazil became the first South American country to claim a Winter Olympic gold medal. And an anonymous woman somewhere in Norway got quite a shock.
