The world of sport remembers Prince Philip

BBC World Service - Sportshour, The world of sport remembers Prince Philip

The former England cricket captain David Gower, the BBC’s racing commentator John Hunt, the five time Paralympic champion Hannah Cockroft and Andrew Counsell from British Carriage Driving reflect on Prince Philip’s life through his love of sport. The Duke of Edinburgh passed away at the age of 99 this week. Gower recalls his many meetings with Prince Philip, while Cockroft tells us just how much she gained by completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Andrew Counsell discusses how Prince Philip internationalised the sport of carriage driving and John Hunt informs us of the Grand National’s plans to mark his passing.

Maddie Phaneuf joins us to discuss how she balances life as an Olympic Biathlete and an environmental advocate. The American tells us she’s come under heavy criticism on social media for her stance on climate change and explains how poor air quality can affect an athlete. Phaneuf is hoping the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing could act as a catalyst for China to clean up their air.

In Sporting Witness - we go back to the 1982 football World Cup and the first - and only - appearance by Kuwait. The Kuwaitis made a big impression at the tournament in Spain, because they had of the most memorable mascots in sporting history.
 
The BBC’s John Murray joins us to reflect on the first two rounds of the Masters at Augusta National and the BBC’s John Bennett joins us live from the Etihad Stadium ahead of Manchester City’s game against Leeds United in the Premier League.
