Chloe Abbott: The Voice who is chasing Broadway and Olympic success

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Chloe Abbott: The Voice who is chasing Broadway and Olympic success

Chloe Abbott tells us how she fulfilled a dream by singing on The Voice and how she’d love to appear in a Broadway Show. The 400m runner also gives us her thoughts on the idea of a musical based on the life of her former training partner and legendary athlete Allyson Felix.  Abbott is hoping to make the USA team for the Paris Olympics and tells us how singing helps with her athletic training.

Australia’s Kaye Scott wants a rule that sees elite level amateur boxers forced into retirement once they reach 41 years of age to be scrapped or changed. The 38 year old won a silver medal at the recent World Championships in India and will be 40 when the Paris Olympics starts. She tells us she’s coming into her peak years and wants to call time on her career when she’s ready.

And David Sullivan tells us how losing four friends to cardiac arrest set him on a path to make golf courses safer. Sullivan’s playing partner died of a cardiac arrest while on a golf course and he himself has saved a mans life who had suffered a cardiac arrest while playing golf.  Sullivan was at Royal Dornoch this week to oversee the installation of life saving defibrillators in all golf buggies at the venue.
