A pair of national champions from Kamloops — Gavin Dodd, 18 and Raiya Matonovich, 15 — join Kamloops Last Week (at the 17:08 mark) in studio, along with the Nigerian Nightmare Maurice Onyemaenu (8:59), in this personality filled instalment.

Also, co-host Chris Foulds talks expected civic election issues (4:03), addresses the suggestion that he is a Communist (2:38) and speaks of climate change and wildfires (24:35).

Matonovich explains how she dug deep to claim the under-16 girls’ 800-metre running national championship last week in a photo finish.

Check out the video of her heroics in this episode online on the KLW YouTube page.

We also have footage of Dodd’s passes at trampoline nationals, which earned him the gold medal and set a new Canadian difficulty record.

Onyemaenu did not start playing football until last year. He’s now setting his sights on playing professionally — and he makes a bold prediction for this weekend’s Kamloops Broncos’ game in Nanaimo.
