Lauren’s achilles drama + Molly Lukowiak + paying someones sports rego
Australia’s very own Lauren Jackson brought tears to many eyes on Saturday night when she tore/ partially tore her Achilles tendon in the first 60 seconds of the match between the Southside Flyers and Sydney Flames. Despite this, it went on to be a very competitive match in front of a record crowd for the WNBL. We only wish it was being covered more!
Australia’s junior ice hockey teams are having a moment and we wanted to learn more. This week we speak with the captain of the U18 Australian Women’s team, Molly Lukowiak, about what her team’s amazing gold medal performance at the recent World Championships in Scotland means for the sport.
The BBL final happened over the weekend, which saw the emergence of a new sporting superstar who has a preference for the on-trend mullet hairstyle. Yay, but also, sigh. We revisit the glory days of the Nutri Grain Ironman and Ironwoman series, and once again ourselves talking about snow sports at the moment (how could we not?! They’re just so good!).
(Drum roll please)......we have a winner in our sports registration competition! Go listen to find out who. And somehow, amongst all the real life sport we’re watching, we’ve both got some excellent TV recommendations.
