About this episode

The episode features Part Two of an interview with Ron Anderson discussing his sports initiatives and the future of the Olympic Games in Brisbane 2032.

This podcast comes quickly after the last so that we can share with you Part Two of our interview with the remarkable Ron Anderson. As menioned previously Ron Anderson lost his sight in his early 30’s, but he did not let that hold him back. He has thrown his heart and soul into establishing many sports programs over the years. IN Part Two of this interview 85 year old Ron took the time to look back on his involvement with cycling and also golf for the blind. John takes a look at the Enhanced Games and how they were received and the lack of records. The payments would no doubt have made it worthwhile. The one thing the Games showed was how much money there is in sport for the athletes to be paid what they were paid, so why are the IOC so averse to paying Olympians? In our topics under conversation Ashley looks at the IOC President saying that the Olympic Games will be cutting back on sports when the Olympics come to Brisbane in 2032. This is something that we feel had to come to make hosting easier for prospective Olympic host cities. Which sports will be culled when Brisbane comes around? How importnat are historical links to the Olympic Games going to be in this process…
