Looking back on our first live talk with Olympian swimmer Joanne Jackson on Thursday 22nd September!

Last night saw Live Sport Talks launch, and we welcomed Olympian swimmer Joanne Jackson as our first guest! Host Charlie Rowe and Joanne discussed Joanne's fantastic career and some great insightful stories from life in Olympic Park to her rivalry with best friend Rebecca Adlington. Fans were treated to some inspirational stories about her battle with injury, nearly retiring before London and her remarkable recording breaking swim in 2009! Fans then got to ask Joanne questions about her career and what tips she had for the aspiring young swimmers in the crowd!

It was a memorable evening and was great to get Live Sport Talks started with such a bang!
