My guest today on Dashing Dan Sporting Adventures Podcast is an elite sports person in a number of sports.
He was an outstanding junior middle-distance runner at school, winning the 800 and 1500 metres at the Prestigious APS Sports at Xavier College in Melbourne. Injuries then curtailed his running career and to help heal he hopped on a bike and then concentrated on road cycling and became a professional road cyclist and was selected in international teams in Europe and actually raced in the Giro D'italia. However, after numerous falls, he has elected to retire from Road cycling and concentrate on a career as a triathlete. Here is the story of Jimmy Whelan on Dashing Dan's Sporting Adventures. -
Our guest on Dashing Dan's Sporting Adventures is one of the greatest race callers this country has produced.

Here is Part 2 of Dan's chat with Sports Commentator Matt Hill
Matt Hill is fast becoming one of this country's best-ever sports broadcasters.
He started as a race caller, eventually replacing the incomparable Greg Miles in Melbourne. He has now called nine Melbourne Cups with superb accuracy and brilliance. He is also a senior AFL Commentator with Fox Footy and SEN and has covered and commented on only seven Summer and Winter Olympic events, including the rowing for Channel Nine TV this year and the Aths for Channel Nine radio. He is also one of the nicest guys in the sports media industry and it was a pleasure to have a long chat (and I mean a long chat) over two parts for Dashing Dan's Sporting Adventures. -
