あらすじ・解説
This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary and we've relaunched our podcast!
It’s July 2024. In just a few weeks, the world’s top athletes will gather in Paris for the 2024 Games.
We’ll be watching on - in wonder - at the human endeavour, the glory and the heartbreak.
What all that feels like is the stuff of dreams for most of us.
Today's guest is a woman who lived that dream.
Tessa Sanderson CBE is a British Olympic icon. She represented Great Britain at six Olympic Games, winning a gold medal in the javelin at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics setting a new Olympic record and making history as the first black British woman to win Olympic gold.
Presenter: Julia George
