Nothing can replace years of on the scene coverage of events - knowing the players, and who and what is important. That's where Around the Rings excels.

For more than 20 years, Ed and Sheila Hula and their team of correspondents have been on the scene of virtually every important event on the Olympic and Paralympic calendar. From the selection of every host city since 1990 to IOC votes on changing the sport programme to multiple visits to assess cities' bids, Around the Rings is there.
