Dropping in with Fran Kirby and Mahama Cho in the Team GB camp
Aimee chats with two Team GB athletes out in Japan, including football legend Fran Kirby experiencing her first Olympics and Mahama Cho competing at his second games in taekwondo.
Aimee Fuller brings you the Olympic Mile podcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds. With the long-awaited Tokyo games now under way, it felt only right that we catch up with some of the athletes who are out representing 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 have their shot at Olympic gold.
After whipping around the country to meet up with the likes of Tom Daley, Helen Glover and Adam Gemili, Aimee is now going to connect with members of Team GB as they settle into life within the camp in Japan, to give you an insider’s view of life as an Olympian.
In this first episode of the games-time podcasts Aimee catches up with two amazing athletes. The first is a superstar in her own right even before she hopped on the plane to Tokyo, it's super Fran Kirby. The footballer who has defied the odds to battle a near career-ending health issue to come back to fitness. Not just content with getting back on the pitch, she has recently smashed through the Chelsea Women’s all time scoring record, took the WSL title and took home the PFA player of the year award.
The second guest is Mahama Cho, a taekwondo master who is full of energy. After narrowly missing out on a medal in Rio five years ago, he’s back to take on the heavy weight division. So we dial in and find out how he’s been getting on in the GB camp.
In this podcast series Aimee is going to be talking training plans, food and Olympic goals. Remember you can only hear it right here on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds...
So come on, join Aimee and some of Team GB’s finest as we chat all things Tokyo 2020.
