Ukraine Olympic swimmer Andrii Govorov on the war with Russia

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Ukraine Olympic swimmer Andrii Govorov on the war with Russia

Ukrainian Olympic Swimmer and World Record holder Andrii Govorov tells us about getting his wife and young child out of the country just before Russia invaded.  Govorov - who was born in Crimea – also gives us an insight into the Russian Psyche and believes people have been brainwashed to accept the conflict. He explains why he believes all Russian athletes should be banned from international competition and tells us how he feels seeing Ukrainian athletes sign up to fight in the war.

Sweden’s Minister for Sports - Anders Ygeman - tells us sporting boycotts do work and that Vladimir Putin holds the key to getting Russia readmitted into the international sporting fold.

Adelaide United striker Fiona Worts tells us about the challenge of combining a job in McDonalds with firing her side into the A-League Women play-offs for the first time. Worts is the competitions top scorer and recently hit a record-equalling five goals in a match against Brisbane Roar.

And - Andy Stevenson brings us the latest news on the Winter Paralympics and Alistair Bruce-Ball is live at the King Power Stadium ahead of the Premier League’s early kick-off between Leicester City and Leeds United.
