Valentino Guseli is one of Australia’s most exciting winter athletes, with the unique ability to perform in so many snowboard disciplines. At only 18 years of age, he’s just had a World Cup season that others could only dream of, taking home the Park n Pipe Crystal Globe, Big Air Crystal Globe and a slopestyle Bronze. He is the first snowboarder to stand on the World Cup Podium in all three park and pipe disciplines in a single campaign. We absolutely love watching him whenever he’s out on the snow and it was such a thrill to get to chat to him while he’s home and seeing his family on the NSW South Coast. Enjoy this chat with Valentino.  Shownotes:  Follow Valentino @valentinoguseli and also on youtube: www.youtube.com/@valentinoguseli292 For sponsorship opportunities or to work with us, please contact Kim Ashby [email protected]  Hosts: Libby & Georgie Trickett Instagram: @thesportsocialpodcast Producer: Jason Strozkiy www.strozkiymedia.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jordy Duncan had always loved swimming and the pool. But by 15, she missed a team, lost her confidence and stepped away from the sport altogether. A chance encounter with the world of freediving allowed her to find a form of meditation and rediscover her passion for the water.  It was absolutely fascinating to learn about this sport and what it means to Jordy, just before she represents Australia overseas at the Freediving Pool World Championships.  DISCLAIMER: Freediving is not a sport you should try at home. If you would like to learn how to freedive, please look up your local club or training course.  Shownotes: You can support Jordy’s World Championship campaign at her Go Fund Me Page: https://gofund.me/89151f2b You can check out Jordy at her website https://www.jordyduncan.com/ and follow her @jordy_duncan and listen to her on the Freediving Journal News Dispatch podcast segment with Donny Mac.
