  • Summary

  • 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

    About Women in Sport

    Women in Sport was founded in 1984 and its vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and exercise.

    Recognising that gender stereotypes and institutional bias are holding women back in life and in sport, the charity’s purpose is to give every woman and girl the opportunity to take part and inspire her to do so.
