Edith Bowman and Labrinth try their hand at Archery (Video and Audio)

Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman and Labrinth have decided to prepare for the Olympics with one of the lesser-celebrated sports: archery. On Friday 16th March they will head up to an archery centre in London to get trained up by Team GB archer Lucy O’Sullivan.

They’ll be set the challenge of popping as many balloons as possible off the target… but there’s a twist! Each balloon contains an embarrassing question. The more balloons they pop, the more questions their opponent has to answer.

You can find out what happens during Edith’s show on 大象传媒 Radio 1, 7-10am on Sunday 18th March.
