Football in Poland steps up to help people fleeing conflict in Ukraine

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

The vice president of Wisla Krakow, Maciej Ba艂azi艅ski and Anna Mioduska, who is the chair of Legia Warsaw鈥檚 foundation, tell us how their clubs are helping people displaced by the conflict in Ukraine. Both clubs have been aiding the effort to collect supplies for Ukrainian refugees, while Wisla have also given sanctuary to the youth team players from Dynamo Kyiv. Legia have been providing football sessions for children and have plans in place to provide a creche for young children and their mothers.

Katie Smith brings us the latest news from the Winter Paralympics and we hear from Canadian legend Brian McKeever.

Camille Herron tells us her attitude to ultrarunning is a mix of the fictional characters Ted Lasso, Forrest Gump and Billy Elliott. The American recently broke her own 100-mile women鈥檚 world record averaging around 7:37 minutes per mile over the 12 hours and 41 minutes run.

And - David Diamante joins us to reflect on the motorcycle accident that could have cost him his life and making his return to ring announcing. Diamante was told by doctors he could have been left paralysed by the accident, which resulted in him having emergency surgery and nine screws inserted in his back.
