Hanna Reports

on BBC Two England

Hopeful Lunatics
Two ice-skaters who train between midnight and dawn and eight soldiers who volunteer for five years of self-torture.
These may be Britain's only hope for medals in the Winter Olympics next February. Are they mad or is this the peculiar British way of building champions?
In the second of his Sporting Profiles, Vincent Hanna probes the lives and minds of ice dancers GLYN WATTS and HILARY GREEN , who have neither jobs nor money because of their devotion to their sport, and the British Biathlon team who, to train, have to stay in the Army.
