    42: Paris 2024 Paralympic Preview: Monica Vaughan
    Aug 27 2024
    It’s August 2024 and this week, the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games begins.

    The Paralympics, as we commonly know them, have their roots in the Stoke Mandeville Games, first held in 1948, when only wheelchair athletes competed.

    In 1960, they were renamed as the Paralympic Games, and in 1976, para-athletes besides wheelchair users were allowed to compete for the first time.

    My guest today was one of those. And she didn’t just compete – she cleaned up.

    Monica Vaughan represented Great Britain in swimming at two Paralympics.
    Five Gold medals in Toronto in ’76 were followed by four more plus a Silver in Arnhem in Germany in 1980.

    By the way, thank you to Stylist Magazine for naming us as one of the best podcasts about women in sport.

    41: Paris 2024 Olympic Preview: Joanna Rowsell
    Jul 23 2024
    This year marks Women in Sport’s 40th anniversary and we've relaunched our podcast!

    This week the world’s top athletes will gather in Paris for the 2024 Olympic Games.

    Few of us will ever know what its like to represent our country in elite sport. Fewer still will know the feeling of standing on the podium whilst the national anthem plays.

    Joanna Rowsell MBE knows exactly what this is like. She has two gold medals - one from London in 2012 and the other from Rio in 2016 – both in the Team Pursuit.
    Add to that, five World Championship titles, multiple World Cup Gold medals and a standing world record, also in Team Pursuit.

    Presenter: Julia George

    Watch and listen to the BBC commentary of Joanna's moment of Olympic glory:

    Jul 16 2024
    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
