Aimee Fuller brings you The Olympic Mile podcast. With the long-awaited Tokyo games edging ever closer, it felt only right that we catch up with some of the athletes who are heading out to represent our nation. As a two-time winter Olympian, she knows just how it feels, so is buzzing to introduce you to some of Team GB’s finest, as they prepare for their shot at Olympic gold. For this latest episode Aimee heads to Manchester to catch up with her good friend Jade Jones. Winner of two gold medals in taekwondo at London 2012 and Rio 2016, she’s now heading out to do what no one has done before and win for a third time in a row. We find out how she got into the sport, her motivation and how she maintains her strict weight limitation for competition...spoiler it involves pizza binges in the off season. You can hear the full series with 5 more Olympic icons on BBC Sounds, and we'll be catching back up with them as the Olympic Games progress in Tokyo.
