Athlete diaries a break from the old routine
For someone who has grown tired of reading the same clichés from major sportsmen and women, getting involved with BBC Sport’s Olympic “Brits to Watch” has been a breath of fresh air.
Most of those involved in Olympic sports are strangers to the limelight so they are far more willing to talk about their day-to-day experiences than those who have to face media and fan scrutiny every week.
Leading British sportsmen and women from almost all of the 28 Olympic sports have this year been contributing to the BBC’s 606 website.
And the results are a long way from “taking each game as it comes” or “getting my head down and working hard with the rest of the lads”.
