Britain’s most successful Olympian Dame Laura Kenny has been named the President of Commonwealth Games England.

The 32 year-old is the youngest president in the history of the organisation.

She spoke to 5 Live’s Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards about the process of getting the job, and what she described as a ‘daunting’ interview process.

She said ‘at one point there was five of us going for it, at the time I was like ‘is that something I can even do?’ But the more I went through it and got talking to the guys at Team England, I thought you know what this actually is something for me’.

When asked what she wants to achieve within the role she said ‘I see myself as being a voice for the athletes’, making the athletes feel really special when they win medals.
