Cape Horn history makers

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Cape Horn history makers

Caroline Barker speaks to the first women of colour crew members to race around Cape Horn. Vuyisile Jaca from South Africa, Junella King from Antigua and Maryama Seck from France made history while taking part in the Ocean Globe Race on the iconic yacht, Maiden. We also hear from Tracy Edwards MBE, who skippered the first ever all female crew to round the horn 35 years ago on the same vessel
  
Could Patrick Mahomes add Olympic Gold to his Super Bowl rings? Winning an Olympic gold medal to go alongside Super Bowl rings is now a very real prospect for NFL, as flag football makes its debut at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028. Flag football is five-a-side game, played on a smaller pitch and no contact is allowed. So how did the relatively unknown sport of flag football get to the Olympics? And will we see another US Olympic Dream Team? 
 
Milan fashion week is in full flow so what better time to look at the 'haute couture' of the humble and sometimes stylish football kit. We try to distinguish between the fabulous and the fashion faux pas with John Blair author of "A Culture of Kits: The Definitive Guide to Classic Football Shirt Collecting"
  
Plus, we learn about Harry Edwards, Britain’s first black Olympic medallist, through a new book: ‘When I Passed the Statue of Liberty I Became Black’ by Neil Duncanson.
