Manage episode 443655104 series 1301467
Ed Moses won 122 consecutive races including two Olympic gold medals over a nearly 10-year span in the 400m hurdles, but how did he become unbeatable? Sportshour’s Caroline Barker speaks to the double Olympic champion about his dominance, his then-revolutionary 13 strides and how an introduction from Morgan Freeman has finally brought his life to the screen. For the first time in the 173-year history of the America’s Cup, there will be a standalone women’s event in 2024. Canada’s Isabella Bertold had swapped sails for pedals to become a professional cyclist, but she explains why she’s back on the water as captain of Concord Pacific Racing team and leading a campaign to champion women's sport. Former Australian international swimmer Kurt Herzog shares his life after elite sport and how he’s working in Indigenous communities to bring neglected public pools back to life.
Plus, find out more about the sport of blind baseball with Great Britain’s Grant Mallabar.
