British Gymnastics has been on a journey of root and branch reform since the damning 2022 ‘Whyte Review’ exposed systemic abuse and cultural failings.
We are now three years into its "Reform 25" plan, which was designed to "create safe, positive and fair experiences for all in gymnastics by 2025" by implementing the Whyte Review recommendations.
So as the World Artistic Gymnastic Championships starts, has enough progress been made?
Gabby and Mark are joined by Joseph Carr, Senior Associate in the Abuse Team at Bolt Burdon Kemp, who has acted for around 40 clients bringing abuse cases in gymnastics.
British Gymnastics have yet to respond to The Sports Agents' request for comment. Their latest progress report can be found here: https://a.storyblok.com/f/83342/x/f0b8c9f937/british-gymnastics-reform-25-final-progress-report-v4.pdf

You might have spotted the world’s best sumo wrestlers riding around on Lime bikes and posing for pictures on Abbey Road - that's because for the first time in 34 years, the thunderous spectacle of Grand Sumo is back in London.
At the Royal Albert Hall, toilets and seats have been reinforced to take 200kg, spectators in the front row have been warned they could be crushed, and they’re getting through 70kg of rice per day!
As other sports are determined to ‘go global’ in this age of commercialisation and constant reinvention, sumo has remained remarkably unchanged: a sport rooted in discipline, respect, and spiritual symbolism.
From its uncompromising code of conduct to its deep connection with culture, we explore why sumo’s return is more than just an event — it’s a statement.
That's with nine-time British Heavyweight Sumo Champion, Mandeep Singh Kundi, and Head of Programming at the Royal Albert Hall, Dave Gamble.
Plus Gabby & Mark reflect on what *could be* the last October international break for a while, and how Man United can take advantage of Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper at Anfield this Sunday.

In the 1980s English football was at an all time low. Attendances down, stadia crumbling, hooliganism all too prevalent, and then three horrific disasters - Bradford, Heysel and Hillsborough.
Then almost out of nowhere Bobby Robson and his band of characters came within the width of the post of reaching the World Cup Final. England might have lost the semi-final against West Germany but they won the hearts of a nation who fell in love with football again.
So how did Italia 90 change English football?

Gabby and Mark answer all of your questions from building their 'dream athlete' and their favourite Match of The Day moment so far, to England winning a home Rugby World Cup and the Ryder Cup crowds.
Plus, we look back at this week on The Sports Agents.

Did Sir Jim Ratcliffe's clunky Amorim vs. Arteta comparison make sense? Is England manager Thomas Tuchel right to put team cohesion ahead of individual talent in a World Cup year and could you win a point against a pro tennis player?
Double Olympic gold-medallist Geraint Thomas - who calls Ratcliffe a personal friend - is now looking to move into INEOS management. So what's it like behind the scenes there and is Sir Jim always so patient?
Plus, Thomas' pride in the UK's 'cycling boom', being part of a golden era of British riders and if recent protests at La Vuelta could change the Tour de France forever?

"This race was an incredible exhibition of sprinting brilliance and power, but only because it came from a drugs bottle."
In the scorching heat of Seoul during the 1988 Olympic Games, the world watched as two titans of track and field prepared to battle for gold in the men’s 100m final. Carl Lewis, the outspoken American, faced off against Ben Johnson, the quiet Canadian powerhouse and world record holder. What followed wasn’t just the fastest race ever run at the time - it was the most controversial in Olympic history.
We revisit this episode of How It All Played Out, where hosts Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward unpack the dramatic story behind the dirtiest race in history, which changed the face of athletics forever.

Premier League managers are more heavily scrutinised than ever. Those 20 jobs are among the most coveted in sport but with two sackings already this season, what’s the secret to keeping one?
In an era where tactical identity and club politics collide, the role has never been more complex: Will you lose a dressing room if you break from your philosophy? Do managers even have time to actually coach anymore? And in a game that demands constant reinvention, what does it mean to be a good coach in football today?
Gabby and Mark are joined today by former Rangers, QPR and Sunderland manager Michael Beale, who's worked under the likes of Jose Mourinho, Steven Gerrard and Jurgen Klopp.
Plus, you won't believe Mark's story from the NFL... let's hope we never have an interview like that on The Sports Agents!

When Team Europe won the Ryder Cup in Rome two years ago, Rory McIlroy pledged that they would go to Bethpage in New York and win it away from home - something neither team had managed since 2012.
Despite a torturous final day, as the Americans attempted to stage a miracle comeback, Team Europe held on to win.
Chappers is live from New York alongside Iain Carter (The Chipping Forecast) the morning after the night before to reflect on one of the most dramatic, emotional, and controversial Ryder Cups in recent memory.

It's once in a lifetime, watching England win a World Cup on home soil - in any sport. The Red Roses have delivered history.
The defeats in the last two World Cup finals are forgotten. What they will always remember is the noise of the 82,000 world record crowd at Twickenham, cheering for women's rugby.
This was the grand finale in a summer of women's sport after the Lionesses lifted the Euros trophy. So, where will this momentum take us?
Gabby is joined by Katy Daley-Mclean, England's World Cup winning captain from 2014, for a special bonus episode to talk it all over. Plus, Gabby tells us about meeting Ilona Maher!

Gabby is joined by Ruby Tui - the nation has fallen in love with this World Cup winner and Olympic medallist over this Women's Rugby World Cup. She tells her story, from calling King Charles "bruv", to escaping domestic abuse, and getting 40,000 fans to sing a Maori folk song after winning a home World Cup.
Ahead of Saturday's final, Ruby says it's an honour to witness this moment in sporting history. England haven't lost since the last World Cup Final... no pressure then!
If you have been a victim of domestic abuse, help is available from charities like Refuge: https://refuge.org.uk/

As the Women's Rugby World Cup reaches its conclusion, a new domestic men's rugby season begins - it's got a new name & big investment from Red Bull - but will it be enough to fight off the threat of Mike Tindall's breakaway 'R360' league? England’s most capped men’s player, Ben Youngs, joins Gabby & Mark in the studio to discuss.
Ben also reflects on his incredible career, opens up on managing dyslexia, watching clips in fast forward under Eddie Jones, Owen Farrell's legacy and if he would have been tempted to join the breakaway?
Plus, Mark sends us a message from Bethpage where he's just landed ahead of the Ryder Cup!
