    Weekend Edition: Has British Gymnastics cleaned up its act?

    British Gymnastics has been on a journey of root and branch reform since the damning 2022 ‘Whyte Review’ exposed systemic abuse and cultural failings. We are now three years into its "Reform 25" plan, which was designed to "create safe, positive and fair experiences for all in gymnastics by 2025" by implementing the Whyte Review recommendations. So as the World Artistic Gymnastic Championships starts, has enough progress been made? Gabby and Mark are joined by Joseph Carr, Senior Associate in the Abuse Team at Bolt Burdon Kemp, who has acted for around 40 clients bringing abuse cases in gymnastics. British Gymnastics have yet to respond to The Sports Agents' request for comment. Their latest progress report can be found here: https://a.storyblok.com/f/83342/x/f0b8c9f937/british-gymnastics-reform-25-final-progress-report-v4.pdf If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this podcast help is available at charities such as Gymnasts for Change (https://www.gymnastsforchange.com/) 📩 Got a question?

    Ritual, Rice & Reinforced toilets: Sumo comes to London

    You might have spotted the world’s best sumo wrestlers riding around on Lime bikes and posing for pictures on Abbey Road - that's because for the first time in 34 years, the thunderous spectacle of Grand Sumo is back in London. At the Royal Albert Hall, toilets and seats have been reinforced to take 200kg, spectators in the front row have been warned they could be crushed, and they’re getting through 70kg of rice per day! As other sports are determined to ‘go global’ in this age of commercialisation and constant reinvention, sumo has remained remarkably unchanged: a sport rooted in discipline, respect, and spiritual symbolism. From its uncompromising code of conduct to its deep connection with culture, we explore why sumo’s return is more than just an event — it’s a statement. That's with nine-time British Heavyweight Sumo Champion, Mandeep Singh Kundi, and Head of Programming at the Royal Albert Hall, Dave Gamble. Plus Gabby & Mark reflect on what *could be* the last October international break for a while, and how Man United can take advantage of Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper at Anfield this Sunday. 📩 Got a question?

    From hooligans to heroes: How Italia 90 changed English football - How It All Played Out

    In the 1980s English football was at an all time low. Attendances down, stadia crumbling, hooliganism all too prevalent, and then three horrific disasters - Bradford, Heysel and Hillsborough. Then almost out of nowhere Bobby Robson and his band of characters came within the width of the post of reaching the World Cup Final. England might have lost the semi-final against West Germany but they won the hearts of a nation who fell in love with football again. So how did Italia 90 change English football?

    Gabby and Mark are joined by Andy Farrell, who led the British & Irish Lions to a series win this summer and guided Ireland to world number one. From his Wigan rugby league roots when he had his son and ex-England captain Owen Farrell at just 16, to managing at the top of rugby union and where he sees the future of the two codes. (8 mins) We react to Cape Verde making the World Cup, Thomas Tuchel's damning comments about the Wembley crowds and Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson's latest 800m challenger - Femke Bol.

    Riding for Ratcliffe's INEOS & will protests change Tour de France forever?

    Did Sir Jim Ratcliffe's clunky Amorim vs. Arteta comparison make sense? Is England manager Thomas Tuchel right to put team cohesion ahead of individual talent in a World Cup year and could you win a point against a pro tennis player? Double Olympic gold-medallist Geraint Thomas - who calls Ratcliffe a personal friend - is now looking to move into INEOS management. So what's it like behind the scenes there and is Sir Jim always so patient? Plus, Thomas' pride in the UK's 'cycling boom', being part of a golden era of British riders and if recent protests at La Vuelta could change the Tour de France forever? 📩 Got a question?

    The Dirtiest Race in History - How It All Played Out

    "This race was an incredible exhibition of sprinting brilliance and power, but only because it came from a drugs bottle." In the scorching heat of Seoul during the 1988 Olympic Games, the world watched as two titans of track and field prepared to battle for gold in the men’s 100m final. Carl Lewis, the outspoken American, faced off against Ben Johnson, the quiet Canadian powerhouse and world record holder. What followed wasn’t just the fastest race ever run at the time - it was the most controversial in Olympic history. We revisit this episode of How It All Played Out, where hosts Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward unpack the dramatic story behind the dirtiest race in history, which changed the face of athletics forever.

And what's it like running a business where you at the mercy of 11 guys running around on a pitch? And after the tragic news that former England rugby union captain Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, there's been a lot of talk around whether MND is linked to rugby or not?
