Show notes


A midweek whip around the world of sport, with some sports science and management insights on stories making headlines this week. We cover:


  • The LA 2028 Olympic Track and Field programme was announced last week. It features three 100m races on one day for the women, and no option for a 400m/400m hurdle double, are among the surprises. We discuss the effects on athletes and the missed opportunities
  • Triathlon's T100 series was plunged into chaos with miscounted laps, result changing decisions, and even a vote on whether rules were applied to the satisfaction of athletes. We discuss the fiasco in Dubai
  • Boxing continues its (d)evolution to WWE, with a fight announced between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul. A gimmick, for sure. Too dangerous? We discuss
  • World Rugby announced a new calendar for 2026, aimed at giving more relevance and meaning to Tour matches. The schedule has pros and cons, creating a travel load for teams that will require some accommodation for player welfare
  • And finally, cardiac events among spectators at last week's ATP Finals are the trigger for a short discussion about the risks of WATCHING sport, with some interesting studies showing how risk increases when people are invested in the result

  • The cardiac event risk is slightly higher in football in the Netherlands
  • Losing, but not winning, a Superbowl increases the risk of cardiovascular death
