Sarah Adlington is set to make her Olympic debut in Judo for Team GB. And that's a relief for her. Sarah narrowly missed out on London in 2012 and Rio in 2016 and she articulates what that was like and how at times she felt she was never going to be an Olympian.

Sarah is in the heavyweight class and she feels time in the gym over lockdown has left her fitter and stronger than she has ever been so is positive about the weeks ahead.

She also talks about being a YouTube presenter and the fun she has had learning to make videos and deliver news to connect with her club.

Thanks for listening and downloading and good luck to Sarah and the rest of the Team in Tokyo.
