Annemiek van Vleuten - Back on the Bike

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

This week stories from the Iron Curtain to the baseball diamond, the boxing ring, to the stage.

We hear from Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten as she returns to the road after her horror crash during the women's road race at the Rio Olympics. The first female Olympic boxing Gold medalist Nicola Adams is with us as we hear about Muhammad Ali and Me, the play combining dance and poetry to tell the story of the world's greatest boxer.

We follow one man's 10,000km ride from Norway to Bulgaria as he cycles the Iron Curtain plus we're in Los Angeles as legendary baseball broadcaster Vin Scully hangs up his microphone after 67 years in the LA Ddodgers commentary booth.
