The last woman at the British Grand Prix

BBC World Service - Sportshour, The last woman at the British Grand Prix

Divina Galica, the last woman to compete in the British Grand Prix race weekend

Divina Galica, on being the last woman to enter the British Grand Prix and how the former  4 time Olympian is still very much involved in the world of motorsport.

We talk to Australian pro cyclist Lachlan Morton, who has completed his remarkable journey of riding not only every stage of the Tour de France, but also cycling all of the transfers in between the stages too! He has completed a 5,500 km journey all by himself raised more than £450,000 for World Bike Relief.

Cuban born American Ileana Rodriguez talks to us about being Chef de Mission for the first ever refugee Paralympic team. 

We hear from one athlete whose Olympic dream has been dashed by the pandemic. Jamaican swimmer Michael Gunning had achieved the qualifying time for Tokyo when the Games were postponed last year, fast forward to now and with a change to the number of places available on the team, he finds himself facing the cold, harsh reality that his Olympic dream is over.
