2024/07/01

There's only one name that rules gymnastics: the GOAT, Simone Biles. After returning to the sport from a 2-year break last year, she's back doing what she does best.

2024/06/24

Cricket has hit the headlines in the United States and Americans are very confused. The USA and West Indies are hosting the T20 World Cup, and a whole new audience has been exposed to the sport. But with cricket being added to the Olympics (Los Angeles 2028), and a new domestic comp entering its second season (Major League Cricket), is now the time for America to finally embrace the game?

Why Olympic qualifying is anything but simple

Two Good Sports ·

2024/06/10

If you're not entrenched in the marathon world, it may surprise you to know that the fastest qualifiers aren't always the ones who are actually sent to the Olympics. The runners that make the team are entirely at the discretion of Athletics Australia. It's a policy that's seen one of our best marathoners - top-three finisher, Lisa Weightman - miss out on selection for Paris, triggering a heated debate online and in the athletics community.

Rebels without a cause

2024/06/03

It’s no secret that rugby in Australia isn’t in great shape. But things just got worse for the game with the axing of the Melbourne Rebels. The club are no more, and won’t be competing in Super Rugby next season. Executives say they’re still committed to growing the sport in Victoria but the loss of the Rebels points to even bigger issues for rugby in Australia. So, with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027, can the game bounce back?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are female athletes plagued by ACL injuries?

Two Good Sports ·

2024/05/27

It's been called an epidemic of the game. Women's football is dominated by anterior cruciate ligament injuries, and in recent years it seems to be getting worse. 37 players missed the World Cup because of them, and now Sam Kerr has been ruled out of this year's Olympics. So what's going on? And why are female athletes more likely to suffer the dreaded knee injury?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're taking a break this week but we didn't want to leave you hanging. With the Premier League season all wrapped up, we thought it was a good time to revisit one of our best episodes from last year on Ange Postecoglou. He's just completed his first season as Tottenham manager, and although it didn't all go to plan, its worth reflecting on just how far he's come in his incredible coaching career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2024/05/13

Our men's Olympic football team, the Olyroos, have failed to make the cut for this year's Games in Paris. The team didn't win a match or score a single goal in their quest to qualify.

Caitlin Clark broke countless records in college ball, prompting Shaquille O'Neal to proclaim her as "the best female collegiate player ever".

Why Tasmania Devils have history on their side

2024/03/25

Tasmania has been crying out for an AFL team to call their own for decades. Fans had to watch on as expansion teams were added to the competition, while Tassie was ignored. But Tasmania's football roots run deep and the fans never lost hope. They were finally awarded the AFL’s 19th licence last year. And now, the club has a name: Tasmania Devils will enter the league in 2028. There's just the small problem of building a brand new stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
