Season 2 Episode 03 - Tokyo Olympics

Tokyo 2020 was late, and, probably suffered in its build up with uncertainty and opposition from some locals due to the COVID pandemic.

Our hockey teams appeared to be stuck in Perth, with no international opposition available and, I don't think I was alone in worrying about our prospects against the big European teams, fresh off an exciting Euro 2021 championship.

I was wrong.

The Kookaburras and Hockeyroos each performed exceptionally well, the disappointment of finals loses notwithstanding.

Wansey and Ando return to present, fresh from Tokyo; Kookaburras assistant coach Anthony Potter and Hockeyroos assistant coach Katie Allen.

Pottsie is a past Camberwell state league player. Plying his trade in the Don Argus era. You can hear more from Pottsie with Colin Batch in series 1 episode 8.KA is a Commonwealth, World Cup and Olympic gold medalist and member of the Australian Women's Team of the Century. She was, I believe, the first female head coach of a Victorian men's premier league team; winning a premiership in her first year. You can hear more from KA in series 1 episode 12.

Listen to hear all about the Olympic campaign with our two great coaches giving insight into everything including preparation, selections, opposition analysis, shootouts and the village vibe with the specially flown in Australian barista.
