Talking Tokyo is our 6-part podcast series ahead of Tokyo 2020 by Studio Hockey. We take 1 player from each team and match him up with an opponent from the opening game at the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games will start on July 24th. That's why from now on every month on the 24th we'll publish a new episode for Talking Tokyo.

In our first episode we have met up with Adam Dixon from Great Britain and Austin Smith from South Africa talking about their road to Tokyo.

Adam Dixon, aged 33,  captains the GB squad. Originally from Beeston he also played a year at Rotterdam in the Dutch Hoofdklasse before returning to Beeston in England. He played 3 World Cups and Tokyo will be his 2nd Olympic Games.

Austin Smith is a defender, aged 34, who made his debut for South Africa when he was just 18. After a couple of years at Reading in England he now plays his club hockey for Den Bosch in the Dutch Hoofdklasse. He played 3 World Cups between 2010 and 2018 and Tokyo will be his 3rd Olympic Games.

Episode 1 was recorded at 2020-02-21 and published at 2020-02-24. Host: Ernst Baart Podcast: Talking Tokyo by Studio Hockey Produced by: OSMpodcasts.com
