background

Varsha practiced law in Atlanta, but his life took a different direction when TBS asked him to cover the Peachtree Road Race, which he headed as part of the Atlanta Track Club in 1980. He did so well that TBS offered him a part-time job. In 1986, Varsha joined ESPN, where he hosted the network’s Formula One coverage as well many other international sports events including gymnastics, figure skating, track & field and 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s been history ever since.
