We're back with another amazing episode of RunPod 'Going For Gold', and today we're delighted to welcome the legendary Dame Kelly Holmes to the studio!

From dreaming of Olympic success as a teenager, inspired by watching Sebastian Coe, to making history at the 2004 Athens Olympics with double gold in the 800 metres and 1500 metres, Kelly's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
