Available for over a year

Aimee Fuller brings you the Olympic Mile podcast. With the long-awaited Tokyo games upon us, 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. Fresh from a bronze medal in the 400m at the European Championships, sprinter Jodie Williams talks to Aimee about how she’s transitioned from the shorter 100m and 200m to put herself right in contention for a medal in Tokyo 2020. As she walks around St Albans she discusses what’s driven her over the years as well as her insane love of coffee and surprising pre-race music habits. 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.
