The Pullbuoy Podcast

It was a tough opening match of the playoffs for the London Roar as they came up just short against an inspired LA Current. The result went all the way to the final skins race, but a series of tight finishes swayed the result towards the American team. Roar co-captain Sydney Pickrem and backstroke ace Kira Toussaint join this week’s London Roar podcast to look back at that match and talk about how the team will bounce back next week. Plus we meet the newest member of the Pride, Dutch sprinter Valerie van Roon

The ISL regular season is done and dusted, and having let the Roar team disperse back to their home bases, we caught up with Head Coach Steve Tigg to talk tactics, team spirit and a near miss against Energy and to look forward to the playoffs next month. We also find out who might be joining the Pride in Eindhoven as the team prepares to race to the grand final.  Then we catch up with one of the team's standouts from Naples in the form of Roar Recruit Katie Shanahan, who quickly found herself integral to the selection strategy. She talks about her ISL experience, how she came to join the Roar and tells us more about her dance background.

It was a close run thing as the Roar pushed Energy Standard to the wire in their third match of this year’s ISL. Second place secured a spot in the playoffs though, and Steve and Katie are joined by Roar stalwarts Emma McKeon and Kyle Chalmers to review an exciting match and look forward to what comes next week, with another chance to have a go at Energy. We’ll also introduce two more of 2021’s Roar recruits, Ilaria Bianchi and Andi Murez, who made her Roar debut last weekend, and there is a debut for our new feature “Roar Material” as we pose the important questions about their teammates to Kyle and Emma, including who they would trust with the team soundtrack.

The Olympic swimming programme is almost upon us. After a year of delays, uncertainty and question marks, the swimmers will soon dive in to begin 8 days of competition in Tokyo. There's plenty to get excited about from a British perspective and Katie, Bob and Steve are joined by double Olympian Lizzie Simmonds to look at the GB medal hopes, the challenges they will face and to consider which races we're looking forward to most. There's also the small matter of morning finals and life in a bubble with the related impacts on village life to take into account, before we put our necks on the block and predict a GB medal outcome.
