In a short series for 大象传媒 Radio Solent, Bruce Parker taps into the south's rich history.

With the help of experts from across Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight and using 大象传媒 South鈥檚 archive.

This week the programme returns with an examination of the south鈥檚 Olympic connections.

Bruce visits Timsbury Manor near to Romsey and discovers the house was a training centre for the 1964 games.

In 1908, an event took place for the first and only time in the history of the games. Peter Burt, historian at the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Poole explains the club鈥檚 role in the motorboating event.

Bruce chats with Olympians Lucinda Green and Robin Aisher about their respective experiences. And trainer Mike Smith reveals what it takes to become an Olympic champion.

For those on the roads across the south of England, there is travel news as it happens.
