From eating bugs on I'm a Celebrity to being selected for Tokyo - Hollie Arnold, Team GB Javelin

Published on: 24th June, 2021

Hollie Arnold is a heading to her 4th Paralympic Games as part of the Paralympic GB Track and Field squad.

She competes in F46 Javelin. She was only 14 and the youngest on the team at her first games.

It's not always been an easy journey but Hollie's determination saw her win gold at the Rio Games in 2016.

Away from the sport, she made history by being a contestant on I'm a Celebrity... in 2020. She talks about what she's learnt from that and what she hopes for this summer.

Thanks for listening!

I’ve covered 5 Olympic and 5 Paralympic Games at home and abroad. Tokyo 2020 was to have been numbers 6. So how are the athletes preparing during Covid times. And what are they learning in the run up to the Games. The Podcast lasts around 10 mins and comes out daily, Monday to Friday. I’m also using it to raise money for Maggie’s Cancer Centres to thank them for the help they’ve given my wife and family during her bowel cancer journey.
