Gabby Logan Q&A
What is your fondest Olympics memory / something that stands out to you over the years?
I have so many but being in the stadium in Barcelona in 1992 as a teenager when Sally Gunnell won gold in the 400m hurdles for GB was really special for me. Then in 2012 Britain’s men winning team bronze in gymnastics, followed by Beth Tweddle winning bars bronze in the same year was simply incredible.
What should people be most excited about for Paris 2024?
Paris has got exceptional venues. In a city which loves to show off its spectacular beauty, it’s going to be a visually stunning Games, and for the tourist an amazing experience. For us in the UK, being only an hour ahead will feel like a home Games.
Who can you see coming away with a medal?
As the athletics presenter I am so excited about Keely Hodgkinson (800m) Josh Kerr (1500m) and Molly Caudery (Pole Vault) for Great Britain. I fancy them all for medals. But I’m also excited about the break dancing!
The 2024 Paris Olympics start this Friday.
