Sharing his love of the Olympics and Paralympics is the BBC's Nick Hope. THis week Nick won an award from the Sports Journalist Association for his work. And we talk about some of the key stories he's covered this year.

However, I was sidetracked when I saw his office! It is covered in memorabilia from Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games. And it's great top hear Nick talk about his collections.

Nick talks about two stories in particular. The 'topless Tongan' Pita Taufatofua, the taekwondo fighter turned cross-country skier in a country that never sees snow. And Michael Gunning, who describes himself as the black, gay swimmer who wants to be the Usain Bolt of the pool.

Thanks for all your support for this podcast. I'd love you to give me a follow. And if you're enjoying this series would you consider buying me a virtual coffee? All money goes to Maggies Cancer Centres.
