5 Live Sport: All About... - The Dame Kelly Holmes one

The British athletics legend chats to Eleanor Oldroyd about her incredible career, capped by winning Olympic gold in the 800m and 1,500m in 2004.

She discusses her career - and explains how portable toilets and ice creams featured during the Athens Games.

She also opens up about living in fear for years that her sexuality would be revealed, and how inspiring just one other person by coming out would eclipse all her sporting success.
