Hello and welcome to From the Commentary Box, my brand new podcast where I'll be talking to a range of athletes about the ups-and-downs of being a professional sports star. I want to give you the opportunity to meet the people behind all the medals and give a platform to sports that are typically underrepresented.
Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think on my socials @lara.davies @fromthecommentarybox.
