From Danny Boyle’s opening ceremony, through Super Saturday and a record-breaking Paralympics, 2012 was a golden summer of national pride and sporting success. But to what end?

A decade on from London 2012 – with nearly a third of UK adults and children classed as inactive – we explore whether the Olympics and Paralympics really delivered a sporting legacy for our country.

We hear from sprinter Desiree Henry, rowing legend Dame Katherine Grainger, London 2012 chief Sebastian Coe, Sport England chair Chris Boardman and Paralympic icon Tanni Grey-Thompson as we assess why it takes more than magic moments and star athletes to get people into sport and exercise.

Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Dan Roan, Dame Katherine Grainger and Matt Rogan.

Producer: Sam Sheringham
