The Olympics theme continues and they don't come any bigger than this. This week we are joined by the most decorated Team GB female Olympian; Katherine Grainger. On top of holding this title she is also the current chair of UK Sport who are responsible for investing in Olympic and Paralympic sport. Katherine was a humble and enthusiastic guest who reflected fondly on her time at school. She discussed her unexpected journey into rowing and how her law degree played a crucial part in Katherine becoming Team GBs most decorated female Olympian. Katherine spoke of her love for rowing and what she enjoyed most. With little persuasion, Katherine showed off each of her Olympic medals with great delight, giving a background into each medal success. As well as much from her career things were rounded up by discussing her current role as Chair of UK Sport and what responsibility she has within this role. Another amazing guest for the Bishy PE Podcast and one we highly recommend. We thank Katherine for her time and hope you enjoy this episode.
