Tearful Olympic champion tells of binned 'dream' note her dad kept and gave to her before he died
Wednesday, 31 July 2024 As a teenager in 2012, Lola Anderson was inspired by the London games - so much so that she wrote in her diary it was her "biggest dream in life" to row in the Olympics and possibly win gold.
Olympic gold medallist rower Sir Steve Redgrave has handed a letter to the environment secretary Steve Reed to share his and young people's concerns about "effluent being put into the rivers, and how dirty and vile they are". Head of Communities at River Action Erica Popplewell says she feels "encouraged" that the government has banned bonuses for pollutant water bosses, but wants to see further action. Report by Brooksl.

IOC President Kirsty Coventry opposes banning athletes over armed conflicts, signaling a shift in Olympic policy.

Coventry, the first African woman to lead the IOC, will form a task force to guide sports decisions amid global conflicts. She highlights Africa’s ongoing crises and the need to protect athletes. Her stance challenges previous Olympic restrictions, which barred Russian and Belarusian teams after the Ukraine war escalated in 2022.
