BBC World Service - Sportshour, Tottenham, YouTube and being authentic

Tottenham keeper Bára Votíková on football, YouTube fame and being her authentic self

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Bára Votíková tells Sportshour's Caroline Barker about how she balances her football career alongside being one of the Czech Republic's best known and most followed content creators. She tells us about using her social media platforms to advocate for gay rights, and how she deals with the haters.

New Zealand pole vaulter Eliza McCartney is about to take a leap of faith ahead of the Paris Olympics. Since winning bronze at the 2016 Games in Rio, the 27-year-old has suffered many years of injury frustration.

She tells us about life on the road with a massive stick!

When French midfielder Aurelien Tchouemeni was asked earlier this season by his team Real Madrid to play a match for them in central defence, all he needed to help him prepare for the game was a virtual reality headset in his living room.

Sportshour’s Andy Jones tried the new tech out to see if he could go from his messy living room to just plain old Messi.
