S1E5 Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021 - Team GB's Mark England - a podcast by UK Sport

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics is now due to take place exactly one year later in Japan, following the unprecedented postponement of the Games due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic across the world.

In this episode of Medals and More, the podcast getting behind the scenes of Olympic & Paralympic sport, 5 time Olympic medalist and now UK Sport chair, Dame Katherine Grainger catches up with Team GB's 'Chef De Mission' Mark England.

They discuss what the 'chef's' role is, the impact, at the once unthinkable delay to an Olympics, is having on athletes and support staff and why its the case some British competitors still know they've been selected to represent Team GB, while others will have to wait til after lockdown to prove themselves.

The podcast was recorded in mid-April 2020 with Katherine and Mark speaking remotely from their homes.
