5 Live Sport: All About... - Un podcast de BBC Radio 5 Live
As the coronavirus pandemic finally forces the postponement of Tokyo 2020, Elly Oldroyd and Darren Campbell react to the inevitable news. They are joined by BBC sports editor Dan Roan and Olympic medallists turned commentators Steve Cram and Steve Parry. Also joining the discussion is former 400 metre runner Allison Curbishley and former BBC executive Dave Gordon - who worked on every Olympics from Munich 72’ to London 2012. Hear from middle-distance runner and double Paralympic bronze medallist Jordanne Whiley on how athletes who were preparing will now be dealing with the announcement. Plus we ask how much money, time and man-hours have gone into the planning of Tokyo 2020 since it was announced that they had won their bid to host the Games back in September 2013? And how will the athletics calendar deal with the new dates?
