Can competitive sport be truly fair?
When you dive into the pool at the school swimming carnival, how fair is the race? You might all start swimming at the same time, but what things give you an unfair advantage over other competitors? You might have access to great coaches, great equipment and great healthy food. Are these good things fair or not? We are joined by Liz Ellis, the three time world champion former captain of the Australian netball team, the Diamonds. Also appearing is Joseph Winter, the head of Innovation, Research and Development at the Australian Institute of Sport. Basically, he gets to develop all kinds of cool high performance gadgets and clothing.
