Grant O'Gorman and Ben Saxton, pushing for Tokyo and Men's Health Awareness - a podcast by Travis Mewhirter

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Canadians Grant O'Gorman and Ben Saxton, who are the second-ranked Canadian team in the race for Tokyo 2021. 

More than pushing for Tokyo, however, they -- and especially O'Gorman -- are pushing for men's health awareness, as O'Gorman was diagnosed with, and beat, testicular cancer. 

On this episode, we cover:

- O'Gorman discovering his testicular cancer, beginning in Hamburg, Germany, at the World Champs

- How the coronavirus may have actually saved his life

- How O'Gorman and Saxton became partners, and O'Gorman's brief stint living in a van 

- Saxton's new mindset of not focusing on the Olympics, but simply trying to be the best he can be, every year

- The upcoming King of the Court event, the first time either has competed in the format

- The rise of Canadian volleyball, particularly the women's side
