"Super proud to be on the team" - Team GB Archer Patrick Huston is selected for his 2nd Olympics

Published on: 22nd April, 2021

The Archery teams for Team GB and Paralympics GB have been named for Tokyo this summer and amongst them is friend of this podcast Patrick Huston.

Patrick takes us to his club in the Shropshire countryside to tell us what becoming a two times Olympian means to him and how proud he is to be part of a team he thinks will come back with medals.

He talks about the wait for the Games and the challenge of getting Covid and missing several weeks of training.

And he talks about the way he's changed his body since the Rio Games to make him feel an athlete and one who's more than capable of winning gold.

About the Podcast

Destination Tokyo
Olympic and Paralympic stories in the run up to the Tokyo Games.
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.
