Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

I'm a Scottish track cyclist. I've won nine gold medals at World Championships since 1999, took Olympic silver in Sydney in the team sprint and gold in Athens in the 1km time trial. In Beijing I'll be competing in the keirin.

More to follow.

I'm Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 5 Live's equestrian reporter - which is all horse sports apart from racing.

I've been doing the job, alongside my full-time job as a CΒι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and presenter/reporter for two years - but I have been at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for 13 years working in various areas.

This will be my first Summer Olympics, but during my time covering sport for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ I've been to lots of big events, including a Winter Olympics, two Commonwealth Games and two Champions League finals.

The equestrian events at this year's Olympics . It'll be the first time I've been to Hong Kong and I'm really looking forward to it.

I feel so lucky to be able to watch my heroes riding in the biggest competition in the world. I have ridden all my life and although I was never particularly talented, like most kids who ride, I loved to gallop and jump.

I still ride as often as I can but that tends to be just the occasional hack. Every week I look at the and dream of owning my own - one day!

Hello. My name is Rob Hodgetts and I'm an Olympic addict. I've known it for some time now and I try not to let it take over my life but sometimes it's just so hard.

My habit became full-blown when I worked at the . The highs were incredible and there appeared to be no downside, other than flying home.

I worked in a corporate hospitality capacity, in between journo jobs, and was tasked with looking after a small group of uber-rich American octogenarians.

My job was to escort them around the Games and make sure everything ran smoothly. This meant accompanying them to every venue and I got to see some great events and moments of sporting history.

One thing I did miss, though, was the .

We were on our way to the boxing and I stood transfixed at the front of the coach, ear glued to the radio. I began whispering, "Come on, come on" but as the race reached a climax, I reached a crescendo, forgetting I still had the live mic in my hand from delivering a quick speech about the day's itinerary.

"Yessssssss" I wailed when they crossed the line.

"What is that guy on?" asked one of the totally oblivious Americans, as I stood at the front with both arms aloft in salute.

"Five gold medals. For Steve Redgrave. That's amazing. He's a hero. Wow!"

"Well, that sure sounds great Ron [sic]. Now can you get me a paper - I gotta check our stock price."

Euphoria quickly spread through the British contingent in Sydney that day, like a particularly virulent airborne virus. And the beep of a text message from a friend at a different venue to alert us of another British medal became a fix that we just couldn't live without.

For Athens and now Beijing, my Olympic base is sunny , which though dissimilar to Sydney in so many ways, does at least begin with the same letter.

I'll be glued to all of it of course, because I just can't give it up, but I'll have a special interest in the sailing.

The GB team won five medals in Sydney and five in Athens and sailing is .

Ben Ainslie goes for a third straight gold, and that would put him ahead of Cracknell and one behind Pinsent. And he's a national treasure.

I'm not sure whether I'm a sports correspondent for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News, or a news correspondent for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sport, probably both. But either way, it's a top job trying to be grown up and serious at events we'd all give our eye teeth to be at.

I worked in Sports news at ITN and Sky before joining the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ in 2004, spanning years of World Cups and Olympic Games, Champions League finals and British Opens.

Put them all together, though, and they don't come close to what we're building up to in 2012. The London Games will quite simply be the biggest sports story I ever cover.

It will be bigger even than QPR 1-0 Middlesbrough on 1 April 1978 - my first match at that citadel of football, Loftus Road.

It will be bigger than Zomba Catholic 5-0 Mangochi in the 1989 final of the Malawian Book Service Cup - my greatest sporting moment as the accidental coach of the Malawian national champions.

They asked me to help coach the national side. I never had the heart to tell them I was only 19. I often wonder what would have happened if I'd taken up that offer. It could have been me, not Big Phil, at Chelsea.

Instead I'm stuck with reporting from Beijing, and Wembley, and Moscow. Never mind.

I'll be commentating on the Olympics live from Beijing this summer for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sport.

It will be my seventh Games, having when I was a 19-year-old.

That was my favourite Olympics to compete in as nothing was expected of me, but the Sydney 2000 Games were the best in terms of enjoyment.

I have many fantastic Olympic memories, but my favourite moment was for Britain at the 1968 Mexico Games - it's the first Olympic memory I have and inspired me to get started in athletics.

Away from the commentary, I'm chairman of the and run children's charity and have to juggle that with seeing my son who is at school in , my daughter who is at , and watching in the Premier League.

Sometimes I think I take on too much, but I've got to keep busy as I get bored incredibly quickly.

My specialist subject is horse racing but I've always covered a range of sports. I was the co-presenter of the main evening highlights programme from both the Athens and Sydney Olympics and hosted coverage of the Paralympics in 2000 and 2004.

I started in radio and still present for up to seven hours a day during Wimbledon for Radio 5 Live.

At the Olympics in Barcelona in 1992, one of the local drivers employed by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ said to me, "You sound like you're on honeymoon with your job." And that feeling is reinforced every four years.

Beijing will be my fourth Olympics (my first for 5 Live) and I'll spend much of the first week at the boxing arena and then take up residence in the Birds Nest for the athletics.

My trusted companion, as ever, will be Damon Runyon. OK, he's long since "taken the run-out powder" but his short stories still breathe. His tales of Broadway and Guys and Dolls are a welcome distraction for a mind full of stats and sums.

One of his characters once said that any contest between two members of the human race is an even-money shot.

And that's why sport, especially the Olympics, is so special. We expect - but we just don't know.

I am a and will be providing analysis of the swimming events at the .

When I was 17 I had my left leg amputated because of cancer. The day after I had my stitches out I went swimming and within a year I was swimming quicker with one leg than I did when I had two. Eighteen months after finishing my chemotherapy I was selected to represent .

I competed internationally for 17 years, winning .

I also held world records for 200m, 400m and 1500m freestyle and as well as being part of the team that held the world record for 4x100m freestyle.

After competing in five Paralympic Games and , Beijing will be my first Games in the commentary box.

I made my Paralympic debut in Seoul in 1988, winning a bronze, but I enjoyed .

in Manchester and am looking forward to eating ice-cream in Beijing, rather than competing!

Myself and my husband Ian have identical tattoos on the top of our right feet; the word 'EXPIRED' and then '--/--/--', which are the spaces for the coroner to fill in the date with a pen...

Full biography will follow.

Hi I'm Peter White and I feel that if I go to any more often I'll qualify for a Beijing bus-pass.

This will be my fourth visit in four years, all because a World Service producer started a radio programme for blind people in Beijing. It was based on In Touch, the programme I present for blind people on Radio 4.

This will be my fourth Paralympics. My first taste of covering the games was in and was something of a disaster; we tried to cover it with four people at a games which was easily the worst organised I've ever been to.

It's got better since then and the broadcasting team has got bigger.

I'm covering the Beijing Paralympics for You and Yours on Radio 4 but what you find at these events is everybody does a bit of everything, so I could well be cropping up on news programmes and even, who knows, on the telly.

I was in Beijing earlier this year and was particularly interested in how the Chinese team proposed to better where they had almost twice as many gold medals as their nearest rivals, .

On a visit to a brand-new Paralympic training centre the answer became clear; and they live where they train for months at a time.

The most intriguing question is can Britain manage to finish second for the third Paralympics in a row?

I have always been interested in sport and started after suffering a serious spinal injury in an accident which left me paralysed in 2005.

My first major competition was the and the next year I started rowing on the water.

In 2007 I won the men's arms-only single sculls event at the and I have lowered my world best time twice already this year.

, as do I, and I am hoping for success on the Shunyi rowing lake.
