Description
In part 1 of this special two-part episode, Andrew Nixon and Jonny Madill are joined by former world and Olympic 400m champion and one of Britain’s greatest and most decorated athletes, Christine Ohuruogu MBE. Christine looks back at how she first got into athletics and her memories of growing up in Newham, the backdrop of the London 2012 Olympics. She talks about the highs and lows of her career journey on the track including what it was like to become the first ever British woman to win 400m Olympic gold in Beijing 2008, as well as her silver medal at London 2012 and her double world championship gold. She also talks openly and honestly about the setbacks during her career, including the intrusive media attention after she was suspended for missing three out-of-competition tests in 2006, a ban that was later overturned. As well as being a true champion, Christine is open, honest and inspirational in how she looks back at her career and the lessons she learned.
