For non-cycling fans, Ed Clancy might be the most successful British Olympian you’ve never heard of. The mainstay and leader of a men’s team pursuit quartet that has won gold at the last three Olympic Games and breaking numerous world records along the way, Ed is a four-minute track specialist and knows what it takes to deliver under the greatest of pressures and alongside some of the biggest names in the sport.

On the pod, Ed talks Radzi through his mental approach to elite sport, how he first broke into the senior ranks of British Cycling, the back injury that also cost him his Rio spot and what keeps him motivated to go for a fourth Games in Tokyo.

The podcast, brought to you in association with the University of Hull, invites Olympic athletes to talk through the moments in their lives they feel have defined them as the athlete and person they are today.
