Denise Lewis: The Golden Girl becomes a Dame

In celebration of the fact that Denise Lewis received a Damehood in the New Years Honours, we’re delighted to re-release her interview on The Game Changers podcast this week. 

Olympic gold medallist in the heptathlon and much loved by the British public, Denise is now President of Commonwealth Games England. 

Along with her busy life supporting charities whilst raising her family, Denise regularly graces our TV screens, whether that’s commentating on BBC sports coverage or appearing on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Comic Relief. 

Denise is an incredibly warm person who openly shares so much about her life. 

It was a privilege to talk to her, exploring the challenges she faced in her extraordinary sporting career, what it felt like that night in Sydney when she finally won Olympic Gold and hearing her thoughts on some of the most pressing issues for equality in sport today.

Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.
