Interview with GB winter Olympic legend, Lizzy Yarnold.

At the end of 2021, Caroline had for the fortune of interviewing GB’s Lizzy Yarnold. Now, if you’ve never heard of Lizzy, she is a former world champion skeleton athlete and skeleton gold medal winner at the 2014 and 2018 winter Olympic Games. She achieved a career grand slam in the 2014/2015 season by being crowned World Cup winner, , Olympic, European and World Champion! She is a bit of a sporting legend here in Britain and I can’t tell you what an honour it was to interview her (well, you’ll see in a minute as Caroline’s interviewing technique is enthusiastic to say the least!).
