Gold Rush: Our Race to Olympic Glory
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m000xpmd/gold-rush-our-race-to-olympic-gl
1st episode was this week. It's a standard puff piece type with interviews of the people involved cut with footage from back them. But it's a pretty good and easy watch and brings back a lot of good memories. They've got up to Sydney so far, which was the turning point and signs it was coming together (Chris Hoy's first Olympic and first medal, a silver).
One of the stars of the first show was our very own Simon Clegg (they miss out his career highlight of getting our turnstiles painted). When you see what vision he had and the difference he made to a whole branch of sport, it's a sickening reminder of how he was criminally underused (under trusted?) here. Looks like he's done alright for himself though, as he's got a lovely house. |  |

Just watching it now, fascinating stuff. Don't remember Atlanta 1996 Olympics being that bad for all the British team, but it just seemed like one disaster after another.
Oh, and Clegg Out! |  |
