On Anything but Footy this week, Michael has strong opinions on the possibility of a 12 year old skateboarder competing at the Olympics for Team GB. He tells the team around Sky Brown to go and speak with Tom Daley about how to handle success at such a young age. At the other end of the age scale, should a 46 year old double Olympic Champion -James Cracknell - be able to compete in the Boat Race.
There's news and opinion from the World Para-Cycling Championship. It was phenomenally successful for British Cycling but where was the coverage and why hasn't Jody Cundy been knighted in the same way Sarah Storey has been made a Dame.
Staying with cycling, we debate the ins and outs of Jess Varnish's campaign to have her time with British Cycling recognised as employment and speculate on the future of funding in sport if she does eventually win her case.
Also, includes updates from the British Gymnastics Championship in Liverpool and International Swimming in Edinburgh with Max Whitlock and Adam Peaty discussed as well as more good news for UK Sport and British Canoeing this week.
