I am the Sports News Correspondent for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ , although if you are unlucky with your timing then you might well see me pop up on a number of other Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ outlets as well.

People often ask me which events I most enjoy covering. The answer is anything that really matters. Sport changes lives, and to watch that happening in front of you, whatever the sport, is enthralling. At the Olympics, I will be reporting on athletes whose entire careers will be judged on what happens in just a few seconds. I can't wait!
