    Why are cyclists the most unhinged athletes? Cycling great Simon Gerrans talks Tour De France, broken collarbones, cheat meals and how they survive 3,330km rides

    Fresh off the side of a mountain somewhere in France, Australian cycling legend and SBS commentator Simon Gerrans (the only Aussie to win a stage at all three major tours) joins Two Good Sports to explain why Tour de France riders might just be the toughest (and most unhinged) athletes on the planet. As the Tour De France wraps up this weekend, we get a crash-course (pun intended) on cycling and why it's actually more of a team sport than we think. From winning the Tour Down Under a record four times, to wearing the iconic yellow jersey, Simon shares stories of racing with a broken collarbone, surviving three weeks in the peloton and what it's really like watching Tadej Pogačar rewrite cycling history. Plus: Georgie admits she only learnt to ride a bike in her 30s, we discuss the great Australian divide of MAMIL's (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra) vs everyone else, and Simon reveals the one thing every Tour de France rider dreams about after 21 days of racing. Spoiler: it's not a croissant. The Tour de France is on SBS and SBS On Demand.   Harvey Norman love sport.

    It's bye round on Two Good Sports - enjoy some of our favourite bits

    Abbey and Georgie are off this week but will return on Friday the 24th of July after a much needed rest. In this episode we look back at some of our favourite moments from the past few months to keep you going.  Surfing icon Layne Beachley tells us how over a decade of campaigning led to finally achieving equal pay for women.  The Wiggles Simon and John joined us earlier in the year, to talk resilience as an Eels fan, fatherhood and their love of sport. Luke Bateman, former NRL star and current BookTok hearthrob shared how it was growing up in Queensland as a lover of books. And Niav Owens, friend of the pod and host of SBS' World Cup coverage, told Abbey how she dealt with 1:30am wake up calls and hosting with Harry Kewell. We'll be back soon with regular programming.

    First woman in history to win 7 world champs: Layne Beachley on equality, earnings and life after surfing

    Layne Beachley has a list of achievements as long as the beach at Manly. She was inducted into the Sport Australia hall of fame in 2011, and elevated to legend in 2023. She won seven world surfing championships, including a record six in a row. She was a game changer in so many ways that her legacy goes well beyond the silverware.  From fighting for pay equity in surfing to learning how to detach self-worth from achievements, Layne drops so many life lessons that Abbey immediately starts planning a wall of Post-it notes. We discuss: Why women’s surfing was a “misogynistic shit show” for much of her career and how it changed The battle to achieve equal prize money and how it was done The difference between dream team members and dream thieves The one breathing technique that can change your day for the better How to find purpose after retiring from the very top What really happens when a giant wave wipes you out Why Kelly Slater still blows Layne’s mind The surprisingly small amount of prize money Layne earned across 19 years on tour, and why it's not unusual Harvey Norman love sport.

    A game for the ages (if you're a Blues Fan) | State of Origin Game 3 recap, World Cup shocks and Australia are T20 Women's World Cup champs

    It was an historic night at Suncorp as the Blues won the decider by 18 points. Laurie Daley will keep his job and Nathan Cleary shut up the 'can't do it in Origin' haters. It was one of the all-time great games - unless you're Georgie Tunny. We unpack the dubious calls and tries that maybe shouldn't have stood on a crazy night of rugby league. Friend of the pod Sophie Molineux and the greatest team in Australian sporting history won the T20 Women's World Cup. Why aren't they getting the media coverage they deserve? Plus, Erling Haaland keeps doing genuinely ridiculous things at the World Cup, Socceroo Awer Mabil says some truths, Wimbledon brings the drama as Sabalenka threatens to get blind drunk, and someone set a record at the Gold Coast marathon that is truly unbelievable.    Harvey Norman love sport.

    State of Origin special: QLD stars Ponga, Taulagi, Carrigan & Fifita give us an exclusive look inside the Queensland camp | Game prep, tactics and plans to stop Nathan Cleary

    T'was the night before Origin. It's the most special time in our lives: it's Game 3 of Origin and it's winner takes all. Origin nights at Suncorp are always crazy but this one's going to be extra special. Queensland's most feral fan Georgie Tunny went up to the Sunshine Coast to get the lowdown from the players on how the Maroons are preparing to face a Blues side who will be fired up after a bruising loss in Game 2. Kalyn Ponga, Murray Taulagi, JoJo Fifita and Patty Carrigan talk to us about what makes Origin so special, how the celebrations really are after the game and how they plan to stop Nathan Cleary. Plus, what's Billy Slater really like as a coach? Why are Queenslanders so much more feral than NSW fans? And how do you learn to switch off as a player at the elite level when the game is done?   Harvey Norman love sport.

    We went viral (and now the internet hates us), Maya Joint stunned Serena Williams, and has Rory McIlroy lost the plot?

    We didn't know that a simple stat about Caitlin Clark, a rookie basketballer in the WNBA who outsold LeBron on jersey sales, would cause such madness on the Two Good Sports Insta page. Caitlin has become one of the most talked-about names in sport. Her meteoric rise in just 2 years, manufactured drama and a rivalry with Angel Reese - we debate it all and discuss why she’s such a polarising figure, what her status says about the state of women’s sport, and why fans can’t seem to handle her competing with (and beating) men. Also why was she left off the 30th anniversary poster?  Plus, Serena Williams’ Wimbledon return doesn't go to plan (but joy for our own Maya Joint), and a proper conversation on why female athletes are still being held to completely different standards.   Harvey Norman love sport.

    It's the Socceroos vs Mo Salah, France look untouchable and we have a $30m player in our camp | World Cup chat with Niav Owens, SBS host of the FIFA World Cup

    It's about time we talked about the World Cup. The Socceroos have (arguably) defied expectations and made it through the group stage. Now we play Egypt in the first knockout round on Saturday morning. Is it winnable?  Niav Owens thinks so, and she knows her football. The host of SBS' World Cup coverage joins us to chat our chances of progressing to the round of 16 and meeting Messi and Argentina (unless Cabo Verde pull off the biggest ever World Cup shock), why this squad is so exciting, and what the A-League does with a $30mil player when Barcelona come calling.  Plus, Harry Kewell captured our hearts in 2006 and now he's doing it again 20 years later, how we can shut down Egyptian superstar Mo Salah, Norwegian crowd rowing vibes and World Cup knockout-round tactics. And of course France are looking unfairly good, England haven't quite got into gear, and why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a football expert. The only place to watch the FIFA World Cup is on SBS and SBS on Demand.    Harvey Norman love sport.

    The “Doping Olympics” actually happened, and athletes took the money?

    The Enhanced Games were meant to shake up sport, letting athletes use performance enhancers to break records and make big money. Enough time has passed for us to properly digest the morally grey area that encompasses the event, and compose our thoughts. We have many of them. We talk about this and much more: Athletes openly using performance-enhancing substances Prize money that dwarfs Olympic payouts, how can it be? And the awkward twist…clean athletes were still winning  Is this the future of sport? Or does it completely miss the point of why we love it? Plus, the Olympics might be heading into full reality TV mode: Ninja Warrior as an Olympic sport? Please no. Leave the Olympics alone!   Harvey Norman love sport.
