This week on BBC Sportshour we bring you stories of hope.

Australian swimmer and silver medalist Madeline Groves tells us she how the Olympics moving to 2021 has helped her after describing the pain she suffers as being 'stabbed in the uterus'. Luckily she has been able to have surgery to help and now is hopeful she will be able to compete in the Olympics next year.

The Netflix documentary The Last Dance has been released early due to Coronavirus. It charts Michael Jordan's all-conquering Chicago Bulls basketball side and their hunt for a sixth NBA title in the 1997-98 season. It’s apparently overtaken Tiger King as the world's most in-demand documentary. With never seen before footage, It’s an all access series featuring everyone from Michael’s mum Deloris, to his superstar teammates like Scotty Pippin and Dennis Rodman. We caught up with Director Jason Hehir.

The Campbell family from Scotland are already on their way to Tokyo, they set off before the Coronavirus took hold, intending to travel over land and due to arrive in time for the now postponed games, instead they only got as far as France .. where they’re now stuck! Mum of the family Harriett Campbell joins us.

Author John Bacon was due to run the Boston marathon, instead he has ran a marathon around his hometown and seen faces of the people he loves.
