Swift Cousins

For months I've been trying to arrange doing a story on Yorkshire professional cyclists Ben and Connor Swift who are cousins. With Ben's back from the Tour de France and before Connor headed to France to race I got them together for an interview and a ride in Rotherham. As a huge cycling fan, reporting on stories like this is the next best thing to being a professional cyclist!

Diving

I've been reporting on Yorkshire divers winning medals at the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. This is a good example of having to rely on footage from elsewhere to put together a report. I had access to the broadcast of the Championships (which was on the BBC red button) and thankfully BBC Sport had gathered some good interviews with the divers which I also made use of.

Wimbledon Roof

I've been to a film with Sheffield company SCX Special Projects that's got the job of building a roof for Court Number One at Wimbledon so play can take place whatever the weather.
