Episode 1: Two Tales of London

We're two athletes with stories to tell of our long careers.  If you don't know us, then here's a bit about us. So one of us is Dan Greaves - better known in our world as Discus Dan - and that's because he throws the discus pretty far.  Far enough to win the Gold medal at the Athens Paralympics in the F44/46.  And silver at Sydney in 2000 and London in 2012.  And bronze in Beijing 2008 and Rio 2016.  He's three times World Champion, 4 times European Champion and once Commonwealth Champion.  And he's from Anstey in Leicestershire. And the other is Martyn Rooney.  Also known as Rooney.  He got a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 4x400m relay.  He's got a silver and two bronze in the World Championships in the relay.  And three golds, two silvers and a bronze in the European Championships in the relay and individual.  He's from Thornton Heath but now lives in Loughborough. This episode looks back to the London Olympics and the London Paralympics in 2012 - the biggest sporting event to be held in the UK in this millennium.   We talk about what it's like to walk out in front of 80,000 fans.  And how it feels when you run badly and that crowd goes quiet!  Dan reveals his idea to get the edge in the warm-up room.   More about Dan on discusdan.co.uk And follow us on social media @DiscusDan @MartynRooney
