Download Will British Gymnastics’ day of reckoning be a turning point for welfare in sport?

As the damning Whyte Review reveals a culture of abuse and fear in British Gymnastics, we’ll be asking what the sport can do to restore its reputation.

With many other sports reeling from welfare scandals, we’ll discuss how far coaches should go to push elite athletes, especially when they are children?

We hear from Paralympic icon Tanni Grey-Thompson and former GB gymnasts Jennifer McIlveen and Hannah Whelan.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Natalie Pirks & Laura Scott

Producer: Sam Sheringham
