Mail Sport and The National Lottery have collaborated to provide exclusive video content daily with our greatest Olympian, Sir Steve Redgrave, throughout the Olympic Games in Paris.
Sir Steve secured five gold medals during his remarkable career and is regarded as Britain’s greatest Olympic hero. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Team GB managed to win only one gold medal – thanks to Steve and Matthew Pinsent.
This success occurred before National Lottery funding was implemented, which has revolutionized the fortunes of the nation’s athletes. Thanks to National Lottery contributors, Team GB emerged as a global powerhouse, claiming 22 golds and 64 total medals at the last Olympics in Tokyo.
