Bolt, Jordan... Jade Jones: What's the secret to switching sports?

As double Olympic champion Jade Jones recently announced she's swapping taekwondo for boxing, Gabby and Mark discuss what it's like to switch sports. Many have tried it - Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Louis Rees-Zammit, Petr Cech, Ash Barty, Sarah Storey... but not all successfully.Jade Jones joins us in the studio to tell us how she's resisting the urge to kick her opponents rather than punch them, why she chose boxing and how far she hopes to go in her new sport (06:45). And Usain Bolt's football coach at the Central Coast Mariners, Mike Mulvey, tells us what Bolt was like at training, how he did in the sprints and why football might not have been the right sport for the eight-time Olympic champion (22:30).
