We speak to a refugee held in the Park Hotel about life as a detainee. 24-year-old Adnan Choopani left Iran to seek asylum nine years ago and has been held in a variety of Australian detention facilities ever since. He explains the impact living at the Park Hotel has had on his mental health and how he hopes the world doesn’t forget the residents now Novak Djokovic has left. Adnan is joined by David Glanz from the group Refugee Action Collective, who details the poor conditions people face in the hotel – including a lack of fresh air and maggot-infested food. Two-time Olympian and double Commonwealth Games Heptathlon silver medallist Jessica Zelinka explains the barriers women athletes face when transitioning into coaching. Zelinka – who is head track and field coach at the University of Calgary – explains why she feels more women don’t take up coaching, the unique perspectives women can provide and discusses the work Commonwealth Sport Canada are doing to prepare more women for high performance coaching ro
