Distance running legend and triathlete Alistair Brownlee chat to budding journalists about their life in sport
A children’s sportswriting competition created by athletics commentator Rob Walker resulted in the inaugural winners interviewing stars such as Paula Radcliffe recently.
Young Sporting Wonders is the brainchild of Walker after the broadcaster decided to try to encourage children to share their favourite sports moment.
The best 100 entries won a £20 book token, with a lucky few earning the opportunity to interview Radcliffe, triathlete Alistair Brownlee or snooker players Mark Selby and Mark Williams.
