The Road to Tokyo - Ep #11 - Alex Porter - Bouncing back to win bronze at Tokyo 2020!

I’ve conducted lots of incredible interviews in the past few years and this one well and truly kept me on the edge of my seat.
Alex Porter is a fantastic bloke and his determination and positive attitude is incredible especially considering his dream of winning gold at Tokyo 2020 came crashing down literally.
Alex's handlebars inexcusably collapsed during the 4000 metre team pursuit cycling race.
We spoke about the incident and Alex described the feeling afterwards and injuries that occurred which could’ve been a heck of a lot worse considering he was travelling at 65km/h.
Alex and I also discussed the feeling of joy when he found out that he was going to compete at his first Olympics and what it was like inside the village, his Olympic experience growing up as a kid, funny team mates and how they dealt with the Tokyo Olympics being postponed for twelve months.
Thanks so much to Alex for his time and for being so open and honest with his side of the story with what happened at Tokyo, to Rory Noke from Podbooth for a great job of filming and editing the video and to our partners @Renelec Electrical Services and Anytime Fitness Glenelg for their ongoing support.

It was a real honour to have him tell his story recently on Legends with Bevo and talk about the health challenges that he has faced throughout his life which ultimately meant he had to give up his kickboxing career.
We also spoke about the importance of being an organ donor and why people shouldn't be scared to become one, how he's recovering after the transplant and where to from here for Matt going forward.

I asked him whether Patty Mills is our greatest ever Boomer, what it was like for Chris to represent his country at the Olympics and why it meant so much to him.
We also discussed what the Aussies need to do and take the next step with winning a gold medal at the Olympics, three famous people Chris would love to have dinner with and Chris had a surprising answer to who he felt was one of the funniest people in basketball that he's met.

After being told that she needed to ‘lose weight’ and that she was ‘too old’, four-time Olympian, Emily Jane Seebohm silenced the critics brilliantly by winning bronze and gold at Tokyo 2020!
