At a time when the Australian Olympic Committee is moving away from medal targets, one sport has made its target clear: GOLD.  Jerril Rechter chats all things basketball with Shane and Nat including the expectations on the Opals and Boomers in Tokyo, the impact of Brett Brown, and why some alterations may need to be made at the Athlete’s Village.

Michael Klim reflects on his career ahead of his induction into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Klim gives his thoughts on the current crop, and was his generation of swimmers the golden era of Australian swimming? Klim also puts his support behind the Australian Institute of Sport and its importance for emerging stars.

Some sports at the Games are tougher than others.  Modern Pentathlon is one of those.  Ed Fernon has qualified for a second Games and takes us through the mental toll of competing at the highest level.

Plus, Tokyo pulling out all stops to prevent further spread of coronavirus five months out from the Games.  And a hidden gem off the coast of Tokyo in our ‘Journeys in Japan.’
