Great episode with harry there. I like how he talked about how the coaches dream is also to get to the olympic games. I would love to see 2 6.0 vaults done for some future comps. That would be quite amazing and a medal for sure. Keep it up

So glad you interviewed Harry! I used to watch him in Nile’s vlogs so it’s amazing to see where he is now!

Harry reminds me a lot of Ashley Watson.

Australia has a phenomenal group of young gymnasts coming through (Malik,Mchillatton, Owen) but unfortunately I don't think they will be able to hit their peak considering the non existent funding. All things considered though, I do think we will be an Olympic team in the next two cycles with Jesse Moore being the captain of the team

Heath is a champion! Great episode.

Love it, Heath is a super star! Keep forging your path!

Amazing Sam! Thanks for sharing 😊

Hey Sam. Great episode I love your podcasts!!! And your gymnastics of course! Just a note for future interviews: It's better to ask one question at a time than two or three in one sentence. The interviewee tends to forget the first questions and only focuses on the last. If you ask one question at a time you will get all the interesting answers that you want and even more ❤️ I have a degree in journalism and I've tried it before. It really works. But great job man!! Keep it up❤

Great interview / chat. Anyone wanting an idea of how much hard work and dedication it takes to earn an Olympic medal should listen. And also marvel not only at the superb performances we see but the thousands of hours of training behind them. Really proud of what you and the rest of the GB Team achieved this year.

Great episode! Can you maybe do an episode breaking down the cop

Really interesting collaboration 🤝🏼

Same to me

Great episode Sam and James. I am really gonna take a lot of that advice and passion back into the gym for my own athletes in the future. Especially the parts about enjoying the competitions and the leadups and training as if you are going to be selected instead of starting the hard training afterwards because it will never happen in that case. It is a good acknowledgement that it would have been nice to have your own coach out there with you for an Olympic games but the amount that you have both grown in the gym together over the past many years is more important that one competition. That is a good relationship that will continue after this one competition. I particularly liked when you were talking about skills that Sergei had not even taught before and how the coach had to let go of their ego and embrace working together with your athletes to outsource the knowledge of how to teach the skills but working with the gymnast was the most important thing. when the coach and the athlete have an equal relationship to each other than they can actually develop much faster. That is so important. Definitely going to give this one another listen. It had so many good tips in it. Excited to watch the next one.

He came to my school today !

I saw you today Sam REMEBER you went to my school You did loads of tricks I hope I see you again pls come back

Always love the new podcasts/videos, and Joe is one of my favourites! Keep up the great work - both of you - I know it's not easy, but we're out here cheering for you even if you can't hear it. 😍

Good job SAM ... and Felix also 😉! Very interesting ...really excited to see Dolci in LA

Got the Canadian GOAT on the podcast

really emjouyed this pisode. As a follower of both from the beginning, really enjoyed the convo and there was a good vibe between the both of you. Two wonderfully matched athletes

Part 2 ?

Great conversation! I've been following Felix since early 2022 I believe and he's definitely one to look out for. It was really cool to see him and a good part of this Canadian team live at the Pan-American Championships that year while visiting my family haha. I'm also Canadian and live in the same city, so I'm always wondering if I'll randomly bump into one of these guys on the street lol.

Very interesting questions and answers ! Love this podcast, learn a lot !

Love the podcast Sam BtW .

What a fantastic young man ,hopefully many Olympic medals to come his way ,love his positive attitude towards his sport and outlook on life .🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌felix dolci .

Fantastic Podcast feeling the energy and passion

Yeah of course il just do 40+ hours a week no sleep and still make sure the criticising GF doesn’t blast me for not doing enough when all I’ve done is be present trying to learn and overcome the fear of being left alone with our preterm surviving twin 😅

can you maybe do an episode covering the world cup as its interesting to see your take on the next gen as some of those junoirdss from gb this quad are competing there-Danny and Jonas.

Nobody cares about your swimming career. Its reflected in the views from the past 10 years. You're not interesting enough bro, quit while you still have time to become a swimming instructor.

Sam old ham you came to my school

How do you get in to going over to compete in Europe?

je pense que le ministere des sports devrait ouvrir un audit sur la federation francaise de gymnastique les pratiques et les fonds ainsi que les salaires car pour le haut niveau les gymnastes payent leur coaching

Thanks Sam for this amazing podcast of my bf. He was and still is an incredible human and gymnast who deserves more than what he experienced... Thank you again 🙏🏼 so proud of him 🤍

Is this the first podcast Ian has been on? 🎉 Very interesting to learn about his journey and content creation process. Sam is a great interviewer! P.S. I’d love to see an interview with Connor McCool😊

the experience of the gymnast is France is so low you don t see them on world cup that sad

thanks Sam to give an opportunity to french gymnast to talk what is the most important to understand in the process of the high level of gymnatic in france is the selection is not fair a lot of gymnast are under pressure they not free to talk there not free to train peacefully they heaven not free to stay with their coach who is totally absurde all this factors make a pressure on the gymnast i will compare that too roumania or russsia 20 years ago no evolution no solution one politics that s not working and for be honest gymnastics have bad reputation but that the most beautifull sport to see

Thanks for sharing your story! Awesome to hear about what both of you are doing.

Can you lease do an episode with felix dolci as I want to know what he felt like after Paris and I feel similar to Fred he can become a big name

Such a great podcast. Sam, I always appreciate your respectful approach to analyzing gymnastics and I love the insights from Ian as a college teammate of the Olympians. Hearing how he seems to be pretty thoughtful and rather cerebral on how he puts together videos is interesting. It shouldn't be surprising because I know that it can't just be random but I like hearing his approach to storytelling from his own mouth. Listening to him give you advice on a skill is also fun to see how gymnasts want to help each other. Although I think I know what the skill is you're talking about and I now have to go hunt for videos of it.

I absolutely love this ! Ian has inspired me not only in telling my story with the sport but in wanting to create more content on my passions now when it comes to music and piano . Also I love seeing a lot of the other Stanford guys producing content . As for Brody producing more content I think it’s likely he would rather be sitting in a duck blind 😂😂

Hi Sam I'm an Australian WAG fan and first heard your podcast mentioned about 6 months ago, maybe more, when Gymcastic referred to your conversation about Oleg Vernaiev and your observations. I came to listen to it and have listened to a bunch since, your interviews and some of the others. Its got me in to MAG alot more, I love learning from the technical stuff you talk about as well as the stories. Im really interested in the rise of British MAG you talk about from Louis and Max onwards. I've been a gym fan from the early 1990s til the mid 2000s and then didnt follow again much until about 2015. From that early time period of course I remember Neil Thomas. I was at the 1994 Brisbane Worlds when he won his secodn World Medal. I imagine his breakthrough successes would've been an inspiration for that generation that followed 10-15 years later. I'm wondering if you could get an interview with him, that would be awesome!

Great episode Sam.loved eh Olympic ones. Why no female watching with u. Also they should include disability gymnasts in paralympics these guys work as hard.

Love the podcast! Just a question about creatine. I’m a high level gymnast and might be considering taking it, it’s just that I’ve read that it increases muscle performance and recovery however also water retention, and I’m afraid I will feel more heavy due to the water weight, compared to the gained performance. How would you tackle this issue?

u cant not like Dan - such a great bloke and gymnast. Max witlock next please!!! or jarman

OMG, the story behind your infamous vault! 😨

Great podcast with two legends of the sport.

Always a pleasure to see an update from you. I'm loving these personal vlogs!

Sam Oldham you came to my school Catherine infants
