S1:Ep6: Moe Sbihi: Immature Blurs, Golden Oars

  • Resumen

  • The athletes on this series all have a "shadow" looming large over the sporting careers; whether parent, sibling, team-mate or partner.  But what if the shadow is the sport itself?  Feeling an outsider in a sport which has chosen you, rather than the other way round.  That's the case for rower Moe Sbihi, one of Team GB's flagbearers at the Tokyo Olympics.  He's won three Olympic Medals - one from each of the last three games - including gold at Rio 2016 in the iconic Coxless Four.  But Moe's carried a weight with him his whole career and now finds himself at a crossroads.  In a remarkable conversation with fellow Team GB member Eilidh Mcintyre, Mo reveals all and bears his soul.  Warning; this episode includes swearing.
