'My teammates have started calling me 'Granny''
10,000m runner Jo Pavey says she's "thrilled" to be competing in her fifth Olympics.
The 42-year-old, who will be the oldest British woman to run in a Games, achieved the qualifying time at the European Championships in Amsterdam last week. She will become the first British track athlete to race in five Olympics.
Speaking to 5 live's Phil Williams, Ms Pavey said "I just enjoy all the banter and the fun of it, like my teammates have started calling me 'Granny'. I never believed I'd still be competing at this age!"
