Kerryn McCann and the 2006 Commonwealth Games

In episode two of At the ‘G, host Anthony Hudson looks back on the day in March 2006 when nearly 80,000 fans at the MCG witnessed Kerryn McCann and Kenya’s Hellen Cherono Koskei battle it out in one of the all-time great marathons. McCann’s emotional win took on even greater significance when the mother-of-three tragically lost her battle with breast cancer just two and a half years later. In this episode, Huddo speaks to McCann’s husband, Greg, close friend and former teammate Steve Moneghetti, commentators Bruce McAvaney and Dave Culbert, coach Chris Wardlaw and McCann’s Australian teammate Kate Smythe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
