BBC World Service - Sportshour, Two major football finals and Frankie’s farewell at Epsom

Sportsworld’s Lee James joins us live from Wembley ahead of the first-ever Manchester derby in the FA Cup final and Maz Farookhi joins us live from Eindhoven ahead of the Women’s Champions League final.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, tells us the fact Manchester United and Manchester City are facing each other proves his area is the biggest football city in the world. We also hear from Alex Rowe and Jack Dormer about how they’ve managed to get to a game in every round of this year’s FA Cup.

As he prepares to race in the Epsom Derby for the final time, jockey Frankie Dettori jokes he missed seeing Elton John to speak to us along with describing the emotions around a race he compares to the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.

Young, strong, and Muslim. We meet powerlifter Tahirah Ali who is becoming a sports role model among Muslim women. Ali tells us how she’s helped get the rules around clothing changed to allow her to wear a hijab while competing in events.

And - the four-time freestyle world champion kayaker – Dane Jackson – tells us about tackling the feared Santo Domingo Gorge in Mexico.
