Tonight on That Sports Show we continue with the lead up to the Olympics.

There are only 30 days to go and Anna Meares has been announced as our flag bearer at the Opening Ceremony. Alan Boyd has set a national pole vault record and Selma Kajan has qualified in the 800 metres. Usain Bolt did not compete in the Jamaican trials but is sure to go to Rio. Anna Flanagan has missed out on team selection for Rio with the Hockeyroos. Was it because of her hidden Drink Driving Charge?

Great news that Cate Campbell has set a World Record in the 100 freestyle in a final meet before the Australian swim team heads for Rio. Michael Diamond has been ruled out of the Olympics and 17 year old Mitchell Iles has filled the void.

It is finals time in the National Netball League and the Tour de France has started. The European Soccer Championships are at the semi final stage and there is a big roller derby match coming up.

Finally we talk to Demetra Giannokopoulos about Wimbledon: Aussies, upsets and who’s left.
