Jason Shortis isn't done yet

Jason Shortis is one of the icons of world Ironman racing. With twelve top 10's at Ironman Australia, he's something of a living legend on the Australian triathlon scene.

The man they call 'Shorto' is powerful runner and at age 38, is still someone to fear on the marathon at any Ironman in the world. We caught up with Jason and found out there is still more to come in his amazing career.

5 minutes with Tour's Matt Keenan

Let's be honest and say that Matt Keenan is not a household name .... yet. Over the past two European seasons, Matt has quietly gone about his trade as one of the few English speaking cycling commentators in the world. Matt's cracked the big-time now, co-commentating SBS's Tour coverage alongside the biggest names in cycling, including the likes of guru Phil Liggett, and working on some of cycling's other top races, including Paris-Nice and the Vuelta (Tour of Spain). We hit Matt with a few quick questions about the Tour, this season's hopefuls and whether this Tour will be a drug-free one.

Bill Davoren, Head Coach of the Australian Olympic team had a chat to us about how all this unfolded and what it means going forward.
