A selection of the most listened to features and interviews from Sportshour in 2016 including:

How America Suzy Favour Hamilton went from Olympic finalist in Sydney to a Las Vegas escort. She failed to win 1500m gold, she apparently settled into family life, but it subsequently came out that she'd been working as a high-class escort. Suzy explains how mental illness drove her to prostitution and how she wrote her autobiography to set the record straight.

Plus how Houry Gebeshian, the sole Armenian female representative in gymnastics at the 2016 Rio Olympics, combined her training with a job delivering babies!

And in the year the SuperBowl celebrated its 50th anniversary, we heard from Tom Brown part of the winning Green Bay Packers team back at Super Bowl I. He recalls working under his legendary coach Vince Lombari, whom the trophy is now named after.
