Anything but Footy

Bye bye Boxing? Hello again Russia? Max is back as are the Brits in Rowing and Cycling! And who's the real King or Queen of Scottish athletics?

A summary of the 30 minute podcast in a couple of sentences, and John and Michael reunite to discuss the latest comings and goings in Olympic land!

We've more on how the no change to Boxing's governing body probably means the end of the historic sport in the Olympics after Paris. The IOC is said to be 'manoeuvring' into a position for Russian athletes to compete there, while Max Whitlock talks mental health and returning to gymnastics ahead of 2024.

We round up the rest of the news from the Games - World Gymnastics Champs in Liverpool, Rowing, Canoeing, BMX, Road Cycling, Basketball, Baseball, Taekwondo and who should be crowned Scottish Athlete of the Year!

If we were writing a headline we'd say Mike Sharrock swaps BP for the BPA!

The chief executive of the British Paralympic Association spent 30 years in international business with the oil giant, but since January 2019 he's been in charge of the BPA.

Working on partnerships with London 2012 and Glasgow 2014 seemed to ignite his sporting flame and with all the challenges he, the Para athletes and the organisation have faced in the last few years, he certainly needed it!

After the Winter Olympics, Paralympics, World Championships & Commonwealth Games has the European Championships in Munich been too much?

It sounds like a daft question from an Anything but Footy podcast, but as we recover from the pandemic have we been too tough on our athletes, expecting too much with 3 major championships for some in 5 weeks?

We round up the mixed bag of results in the Olympic Stadium in Munich - Dina, Daryll, Hudson-Smith and the machine that is McColgan! There's also the stunning swimming and diving results in Rome, British rowing's back into its stride in Germany, as are our gymnasts...

In other footy news there's cycling, triathlon, curling, canoeing, hockey and the London Marathon - and what next for Birmingham now the buzz of the Commonwealth Games is fading?
