With season 1983/84 all done and dusted, it is time to take a sporting break as the excellent writer David Goldblatt joins Martyn to discuss that summer's Olympic Games. The epitome of an increasingly commercialised sporting world, these Games made money like never before. David takes us through just how they did, why it will never happen again, the difficulty that the USA had in taking Carl Lewis to their heart and no tears for Zola Budd.

Despite the Paris games wrapping up, Olympic fever still grips It Happened One Year, as it's time to cover the glittering Los Angeles Summer Games of 1984! Sarah & Joe tackle some of the biggest stories and stars of those contests, including the rise of women's American gymnastics, fronted by Mary Lou Retton, the record-setting run (and jumps) of Carl Lewis, the controversial collision of Mary Decker and Zola Budd, the amazing streak of Edwin Moses, and much more! Then, as season three of the show has now stretched across multiple sports' years, the hosts again tackle predictions for the onrushing NFL season - with particular emphasis on the hometown Bears burgeoning chances!

 In this segment, host Scott Jagow covers several notable events that occurred on August 10th throughout history. The topics include the debut of a major movie in 1960, the controversial 1984 track race between Zola Budd and Mary Decker, the aftermath and reconciliation of the two runners, and the 1970 trial of Jim Morrison for lewd behavior. 

Die beweerde verkragting van 'n 101-jarige ouma in Limpopo skok en ontstel inwoners. 'n Vierde dam naby Malmesbury word fyn dopgehou vir tekens van ineenstorting. Ons praat met die voormalige Olimpiese atleet, Zola Budd, oor haar onderonsie met die Amerikaner, Mary Decker, op die atletiekbaan op 10 Augustus 1984.

Inwoners van Riverlands buite Malmesbury vertel van hulle nagmerrie-ondervinding nadat plaasdamwalle breek. Vrouedag word vandag gevier. Zola Budd praat oor dáái voorval, 50 jaar gelede, by die Olimpiese Spele in Los Angeles. 'n Groot tekort aan ambulanse in die Oos-Kaap. Ons praat met oud-Bok Johan Muller oor môre se toets teen die Wallabies.

Los Angeles 1984 Olimpiyatları'ndaki, kadınlar 3000 metre yarışı, dramatik bir olayla hafızalara kazındı: Zola Budd ve Mary Decker çarpışması. Zola Budd, Güney Afrikalı bir atletti ancak apartheid rejimi nedeniyle Güney Afrika'nın uluslararası spor müsabakalarına katılması yasaktı. Budd, İngiliz vatandaşlığı alarak Olimpiyata katılabildi. O dönemde, genellikle çıplak ayakla koşmasıyla tanınıyordu. Mary Decker ise Amerikalı bir orta mesafe koşucusuydu ve kariyeri boyunca birçok dünya rekoru kırmıştı, o yıl Olimpiyatların ev sahibi ülkesinin büyük favorisi olarak yarışıyordu. Medyada sıklıkla bu iki isim birbiriyle karşılaştırılıyordu ve rekabet büyüktü… Berna Abik'in sunumuyla dünden bugüne Olimpiyat tarihinde yaşanan olayların anlatıldığı '60 Saniyede Olimpiyatlar'ın yeni bölümünde büyük çarpışma var.

Jenni is joined by British Television Presenter and F1 Pit Lane Reporter for Sky Sports F1, Natalie Pinkham! Currently training for her Marathon Debut, Natalie is loving the running community, and all the benefits running has to offer. Running has given her a sense of freedom, and empowerment and even inspired her to name her new cat Zola Budd! (after her favourite Long Distance Runner) How cute!

Ladies n' Genminminmin (er, min) buckle-up for Lesley Paterson's extraordinary story of 'Triathletic Ascension' from being 3 times World Champion ExTerra Triathlete to BAFTA + 4 x OSCAR Award Winning glory!A story of grit, determination, tenacity and courage in how she overcome against all the odds, a bike crash, a broken shoulder, an injured leg AND Lime Disease to win & raise the ‘last push' £10,000 to re-secure the rights for her film, which then went on to secure all of the Awards for "All Quiet On The Western Front", including the OSCAR for Best International Feature.The stuff of Hollywood right there!Lesley Paterson earned the nickname ‘The Scottish Rocket' after wining no fewer than 5 world titles in athletics. More recently, she has picked up a new clutch of world-class awards in a completely different field, as the screenwriter of the Oscar-winning new version of  "All Quiet On The Western Front".The youngest of 4, Lesley had older brothers to compete with. She played rugby with the boys and earned their respect. She enjoyed running for its spiritual values as well as its fitness benefits. Lesley also spent time training as a ballet dancer and later studying theatre and film in San Diego. A genuinely liberated renaissance woman, when it came to competitive swimming, Lesley said she had ‘the heart but not the numbers.' This didn't stop her winning her first world medal, in Maui, in a triathlon, in 2011. And that was after giving her competitors a 10 minute start while she dealt with a flat tyre in that section of the competition. Lesley is by her own confession a totally driven character with a strong focus on forward-momentum. Lesley and her husband Simon, a Performance Psychologist, co-wrote a book called ‘The Brave Athlete', designed to help competitors deal with a range of issues, which could compromise their performance on the track or in their social relationships. At a personal level, Lesley is inspired by the unconditional love shown by her parents and the inspirational versatility of the South African runner, Zola Budd. One of Lesley's favourite quotes is this: “Everyone is fighting a battle that you know nothing about.”Today Lesley Paterson has more than half a dozen screenwriter/film production projects on the go. She describes herself unashamedly as a ‘hustler' - but a very hard working hustler. Someone who always wants to be compassionate as well as passionate, inspirational as well as inspired, joyful as well as driven. Here is a multitalented, articulate woman with a unique story to tell. Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Meet Adrian Wildschutt, the name that's redefining the landscape of South African running! At just 25, he's not just the future; he's making his mark RIGHT NOW.

hello and welcome back to the big run. I hope you enjoyed last week's conversation with Fabricio. It was a pleasure to do.  You may remember at the start we talked about AI generative art. Inspired by this and encouraged by another artist and listener out in New Zealand (shout out to Logan) I was inspired to use a generate to create this week's podcast cover art.  To create AI art, artists write algorithms not to follow a set of rules, but to “learn” a specific aesthetic by analyzing thousands of images. The algorithm then tries to generate new images in adherence to the aesthetics it has learned. for this week's guest, I entered the keywords breathe free run strong and applied a cubist filter. It turned out pretty cool I think. You can see the results on IG. so why breathe free run strong? Well, today's guest has had an exciting journey to arrive on an obsession with breath and its power to change you. After heading up denim at Diesel in the 90s as it had its metoric rise, he changed tack and became a teacher.  Running had always been in his life after being inspired by Zola Budd to run the 1500m at his school barefoot. But when he came across breathe work and nasal breathing things really stepped up. Ladies and gentlemen Im delighted to welcome Kevin Mcquaid Found out more about Kevin's work here: www.breathetomove.org  try out some running breath work exercises here: https://breathetomove.org/2021/08/21/running-breathing-tools/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebigrunpodcast/message

At the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, South African-born Zola Budd collided with the home favourite, Mary Decker, in the final of the women's 3,000 metres. Decker was left weeping on the ground, while Budd was booed by the crowd and had to leave the US with a police escort after receiving death threats. Simon Watts introduces the memories of Zola Budd as recorded in the BBC archives. PHOTO: Zola Budd, left, with Mary Decker in the 1984 Olympic final (Getty Images)

Dit is de 70ste aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over: Hoeveel en welke soort hardloopschoenen heb je nodig?INLEIDING: Als er één attribuut is waar hardlopers niet zonder kunnen -oké, barefoot runners uitgezonderd- dan zijn het wel de schoenen. Alleen: met zoveel verschillende modellen voorhanden, maakt het dan eigenlijk nog uit welke schoen je aantrekt? We vragen het deze 70e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast aan onze Special Guest, hardlooptrainer en schoenenfetisjist Patrick Stastra.   Er waren tijden dat schoenen er echt niet toe deden bij het hardlopen. Zo won Abele Bikila de Olympische marathon in 1960 in Rome op blote voeten en verscheen in de jaren '80 de Zuid-Afrikaanse middellange en langeafstandsloopster Zola Budd blootvoets aan de start van haar wedstrijden op de baan. Schoenen waren er hoogstens om de voeten te beschermen of comfort te geven, maar verder gaven ze door hun gewicht vooral onnodige ballast aan de voeten. En het voorkomen van blessures dan? Mwah, het percentage hardlopers dat een blessure oploopt, is decennia lang al constant. Het is vooral dat de schoenenfabrikanten met hun gladde praatjes over anti-pronatie en innovatieve zooltjes hardlopers zover kregen om veel geld uit te geven aan schoeisel, maar voor de rest leek het allemaal weinig uit te maken wat je aan je voeten deed tijdens het hardlopen. De tijden zijn veranderd. Tijdens de afgelopen Olympische race was er geen enkel hardlooponderdeel waar het níet over de schoenen ging. Hardloopschoenen kunnen je vleugels geven, zo lijkt het als je alle verhalen over de revolutionaire springveerschoenen met een zool van veerkrachtig schuim en een carbonplaat erin moet geloven. Maar er zijn zoveel verschillende modellen op de markt: maakt het daarbij nog uit welke schoen je kiest? Waar moet je opletten wanneer je op zoek gaat naar nieuw schoeisel? Is één paar genoeg of slijten die te snel wanneer je vaak loopt? Het zijn vragen waar Patrick Stastra, onze gast in deze aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, wel raad mee weet.   SHOWNOTES: Overzichtsartikel uit 2015 naar oorzaken van hardloopblessures: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/20/1290 (https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/20/1290)   Aflevering 37, met Special Guest Wouter Hoogkamer: https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/captivate-podcast/nieuwe-hardloopschoenen-wat-valt-er-nog-te-winnen-met-wouter-hoogkamer/ (https://slimmer-presteren-podcast.nl/captivate-podcast/nieuwe-hardloopschoenen-wat-valt-er-nog-te-winnen-met-wouter-hoogkamer/)   —- De Slimmer Presteren Podcast is een initiatief van Gerrit Heijkoop en Jurgen van Teeffelen.

Ná jare in Amerika het die hardloop-legende Zola Budd en haar man besluit om terug te kom Suid-Afrika toe en ja, sy hardloop nogsteeds.

Bruce Fordyce is a running legend. The South African has won his home country's premier event, the gruelling Comrades Ultra-Marathon, an incredible nine times. His achievements also include winning the London to Brighton race three years in a row, but these days he's more at home taking on a 5km parkrun. As the chief executive of parkrun South Africa he's completed more than 400 runs and toured all over the world. I talked to Bruce about how his running journey began, helping Zola Budd complete the Comrades and the agony and ecstasy of taking on one of the world's toughest races...

Zola Budd Pieterse is a name that is etched in running history. On this episode we get to know Zola and her story. We chat about her early years growing up on a farm, running barefoot, studying political science and overcoming adversity. We talk about "The Fall" and how what we hear via media reports is not always the truth as it was in her relationship with Mary Decker. Hope you enjoy this episode. 

Zola Budd Pieterse has every reason in the world to hate the sport of track and field, but she doesn't. Instead, she gives back to it in ways that will help today's young stars experience it in a much more positive way than she did. It has not, however, been an easy journey. Zola grew up on a farm in South Africa before suddenly being thrust on the world stage at the age of 17 when she ran a world record time in the 5000m. That time would not be ratified by the IAAF because it did not recognize competitions in her home country due to apartheid policies there. Thus to compete internationally, she was sent to Great Britain to claim UK citizenship since her grandfather was British.  This move was met with great controversy as many meet organizers and fans protested her naturalization, making life difficult for Zola upon her arrival. In spite of the less-than-warm welcome, Zola still ran extremely well, claiming the official 5000m world record and earning a spot in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.  In the final in LA, she was involved in a collision with Mary Decker Slaney that sent Mary to the ground and left Zola reeling from the boos that then filled the Olympic stadium, directed toward her even though the contact was incidental. Even with this disappointment, Zola went on to claim more European records, win the World Cross Country Championship in back to back years, and make another Olympic team in 1992. In this episode, Zola joins Shanna and Kara to talk about it all including growing up as a running prodigy, how she dealt with the intensity of the negative spotlight often on her, and why she competed barefoot and always clean in the steroid era of the 1980s and EPO era of the early 1990s.  Zola then shares how she reclaimed her love for the sport as her own while also coaching the next generation of runners in her current home city of Conway, South Carolina. Zola is an absolute legend in our sport, and we are so honored to share her story. 

In Episode 12 of the Running Industry Podcast we talk to Jason Henderson, the editor of one of the most long-standing sports magazines in the UK, Athletics Weekly.  Jason began writing for AW in 1995 and became editor in 2001. During that time he has covered five Olympics for the magazine and interviewed everyone from Roger Bannister to Usain Bolt.A club runner with 1:54 PB for 800m in mid-1990s, in recent years Jason has run marathons to keep fit and in 2003 'crawled' around the Hawaii Ironman.He has written for most UK newspapers, plus magazines such as GQ, and is the author of the London 2012 Guide to Athletics Field Events, plus Collision Course: The Olympic Tragedy of Mary Decker and Zola Budd.Athletics Weekly has been the bible of the sport since the 1940s and is still the No.1 choice for the true running and athletics fan, designed to keep us informed about all the best news, comment, event reports and results from Britain and around the world.We chat print vs digital, the sport of athletics in 2021, how the pandemic helped form the magazines' direction and how a pair of carbon soled shoes are no guarantee of a parkrun PB!Follow Jason viaTw @Jason_AWFollow Athletics Weekly viaIG @athletics.weeklyTw @AthleticsWeeklywww.athleticsweekly.comRunning Industry Podcast www.runningindustrypodcast.com IG @runindustry Tw @runindustry Host: Matt WardProduced by amplifi www.amplifi.mediaIG @amplifimedia Tw @amplifimedia_All episodes of the running industry podcast are produced by and © amplifi.mediaYou can also show your support by donating to the running industry podcastvia Patreon www.patreon.com/runningindustrypodcast

Can all repetitive strain injuries be traced back to modern running shoes? Jarlath asks Sonia about this and other claims of the barefoot running movement. It makes sense on paper. We have conditioned our feet to expect a type of cushioning that encourages heal striking rather than the flat strike that lets the miracle of engineering that is human foot so its job. Sonia looks back at her days running barefoot at competitive events, the Kenyan model, Zola Budd, ice baths and the danger of transitioning to shoeless running or minimal shoes. There’s look at Jarlath stalled progress after he suffered a hip injury this week. How will this impact his plan to run 2000K for Jigsaw.ie? And we hear one of the funniest emails the show has ever received. Sonia also tells us about the return of Park Runs to Australia and her 19 minute 5K effort for her beloved Snowy the dog.   Be kind to yourself and others this January.

In this candid interview, Zola shares her amazingly heartfelt story of loss and love. We start off with how and why she fell in love with running. What was the reason behind her decision to mainly run 'barefoot'? Growing up in South Africa during troubled times she moved to the UK under duress. We learn how she was treated by the British press as well as the British public. Her story of being in the constant eye of a judgemental population when all she wanted to do was run. We trace her rise to celebrity status and find out that losing those close to her has been a trend throughout her life. A happy return to her homeland South Africa, where she would meet and marry her husband and eventually compete for her beloved homeland at the Olympic Games. With many accolades on the track and across the fields of cross country races across the world, Zola was always seemingly removed from all of what that meant. Marathon and Ultra distance running came into her life and it is in these longer pursuits that her peace and serenity is found. We talk about the mighty Comrades Ultra in South Africa and the host of the show even suggests a Marathon that Zola should add to her bucket list. A remarkable individual with a remarkable life story, Zola Budd Pieterse.

Sem a presença da União Soviética e alguns de seus satélites no bloco socialista, a Olimpíada volta aos Estados Unidos para se transformar num negócio bilionário, mergulhada até o pescoço em publicidade, vendas e naming rights. Mas o racismo a homofobia fazem com que seu principal vencedor, Carl Lewis, seja visto como um pária nesse universo. O Brasil ganha seu primeiro ouro ao vivo e vê o nascimento de uma nova geração de ídolos no vôlei. Confira todas essas histórias em nosso episódio sobre a Olimpíada de Los Angeles-1984.

It’s another tough week for Carla given she doesn’t know if she’s Zola Budd or Doctor John Nash from one day to the next. One minute she’s leaving a bloody trail along the Cobbles from her battered bare feet, the next she’s solving complicated mathematical problems with a marker on Ken’s wallpaper while thinking the crossword is speaking to her. Meanwhile, Sarah’s pleasant, helpful attitude to a request from the police may well be enough to ensure Nick and David end up in jail for Easter, and Natalie stays off the coke long enough to put in a decent trial at the Barber’s, but will it be enough to get the job? In other news, Hardman Rick is definitely not cut out for a career in children’s entertainment if his puppetry skills are anything to go by, Sinead rings a bell while Daniel decides that a humanist christening is more in keeping with their wedding (which definitely wasn’t a thing), Chesney and Gemma plan a filthy getaway to a caravan site and do some practicing on that poor couch, Abi is caught —ahem— taking the TV remote upstairs again, and Steve's heart is older than Ken.

Fredrik is still consumed with the Orson Welles biography and reads two profound quotes from it in an all new Filip and Fredrik Podcast. What do you have to be considered a genius or an innovator? The duo also discuss the epic failures of “reverse-innovators” like Swedish cross-country skier Gunde Svan, Zola Budd, Bjorn Borg and more. Filip is worried because he always learns about celebrity deaths while sitting on the bowl. Is there a correlation? But unlike the passing of David Bowie and Lemmy, he is amazed at the lack of mourning anyone has given Chuck Berry. Many artist have checkered pasts and are forgiven in death, but not, it seems, the Father of Rock and Roll. When a genius dies, what do you have to do to get a nice obituary? Find out the answer to this question and more on an all new Filip and Fredrik Podcast!

TalkFEED — A month ago Irvette van Zyl won the Totalsports Women’s Race in Stellenbosch in a time of 32:50. It equalled Zola Budd’s personal best as the third fastest 10km performances by South African women on the road. Budd ran that time at the age of 17 in Bloemfontein in August 1983. That time still stands as the South African junior record.The only two women to run faster over that distance are former half-marathon world record holder Elana Meyer and Colleen de Reuck.This week on Run Talk SA we chat to Irvette about that fantastic run in the Western Cape as well as her recent victory at the Mandela Marathon in Pietermaritzburg.We also chat about the upcoming Cape Town Marathon and what she hopes to achieve as well as what it is like being married to South African track star LJ van Zyl and whether or not she has any Comrades Marathon aspirations.Also as mentioned in the podcast, be sure to register for our upcoming Comrades Marathon webinar.
