Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh

Helen and Kate Richardson-Walsh discuss what it's like to win Olympic gold alongside your spouse, and why some sports seem to be more welcoming to LGBTQ+ people than others.

Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh relive the thrilling moment they won gold as part of the Great Britain field hockey team in a penalty shoot-out in Rio in 2016.

What is it like to win as a team? How do you create cohesion and spirit in a group, and what challenges does being partners off the field present to the whole team when you are on it?

We also look at how attitudes to LBGTQ+ people vary across sports. Why do some sports seem more welcoming and inclusive than others?
