Milton Keynes badminton player Sean Vendy says his childhood dream of Olympic gold is achievable.

Vendy will compete alongside Ben Lane in the men’s doubles at the Paris games, 20 years after their coach Nathan Robertson claimed silver in the mixed doubles in Athens.

In the build up to the games, he took time to visit the local New Bradwell Primary School to help inspire a new generation of players and also spoke with Geoff Doyle.
