BBC Sports Personality Reflections and Thoughts

Russia kicked out of competition for four years - or are they?

<p>In this week's episode of Anything but Footy, we discuss the shortlist for the prestigious BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. 6 were named ahead of the event in Aberdeen, but there's been an equal amount of discussion over the names left off - including swimmers Adam Peaty and Alice Tai, motor sport's Jonathan Rea and athlete Hannah Cockroft. We discuss the main details and make some predictions about how the awards will be distributed.</p><br><p>From short lists to short shifts. Very short shifts, in fact. The new CEO at British Athletics didn't even get her feet under the desk before announcing she would not be taking up the role after a newspaper revealed details of her husband's inappropriate relationship with a 15 year old girl. With safeguarding and governance now at the top of the agenda as far as sport in the UK is concerned, we debate the fallout and discuss who might be the right person for the job. </p><br><p>Russia could be forced to miss the next four years of international sporting competition. That would mean not being able to compete as a nation at the next two Olympic Games in Tokyo and Beijing. It's the latest development in the long running story of their state sponsored doping.</p><br><p>We have news from the trampolining World Championship in Japan. Along with some terrible puns... And, a look ahead to the Nacra 47 Sailing World Championship which begins soon. There's also hockey and cross country news and a potential unlikely Olympic venue for Paris 2024.</p><p> </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
