Hello there, I'm Jenny Faulkner, back with you to keep you company as you run, jog,

plod, walk, work out in the gym, drive, or maybe just sit.

Whether you're listening on your phone via your Alexa or on your car stereo, listen, it's great

to have you here and you are in for a total treat because in this

episode I am joined by someone who absolutely smashed it at the Olympics this summer, returning

home with a very nice shiny medal collection. He won the silver medal in the men's triathlon and a few

days later while he bagged the gold in the triathlon mixed relay. It is

the brilliant Alex Yee. Hello there. Hello. Thank you very much for having me. It's so good to

have you. I am not kidding. When I sat screaming at the television watching you, that Saturday morning

of the mixed triathlon, I was watching you at home. And honestly,

I cannot tell you how it was so exciting and so brilliant to watch. And obviously,

I hadn't met any of you, but I was so proud of you all. And that must be what the whole country

felt watching you. Are you still buzzing from that whole experience? Yeah, I mean,

first of all, thanks for watching. I think the lovely thing that we found is that people might

have on that Saturday morning not known anything about a trifle on and then by the end of it,

they're getting so involved with it and buying into it. And for us as athletes, it's so cool that people

are buying into the thing that we love so much. And yeah, I mean, for me, coming away with a silver

and a gold medal at my first ever Olympics, and not even really known if I was going to go about

four weeks before.

I know that's nuts.

It was pretty special and it's just bizarre that it's me and just feel incredibly normal.

So, yeah, it's just real cool.
