Live Saturday morning global sports show with reports, debate and humour.

Taehoon 鈥淎ndy鈥 Ki, tells us how he fell in love with Scunthorpe United after discovering them when playing Fifa Online 3 and about his recent trip to watch the English non-league side play.

Ki made the 14 hour journey to Glanford Park in October amidst fears it could be the club鈥檚 final ever home game. He also discusses his extensive football shirt collection, reveals who his footballing hero is and tells us how he keeps up to date with the club from over five thousand miles away.

Australia鈥檚 Jessie Smith chats to us about the impact Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) has had on her life and the adjustments she has made to continue competing in dressage. CRPS is known as one of the most painful conditions in the world where a person experiences persistent severe and debilitating pain.

And 鈥 Great Britain鈥檚 Julia Davis tells us about competing in an ultra-marathon with a difference. She recently finished third in the 100 kilometre Kullamannen race in Sweden, which is named after a mythical immortal knight who takes the side of the weak towards their oppressors. Competitors in the race start behind a knight on horseback before 鈥渟printing鈥 to the finish.
