When I meet athlete Lauren Steadman in Paris for the official Team GB kit reveal, she's humble, down to earth, and candid about her journey so far - despite being a three-time Paralympic champion, the proud owner of an MBE for her services to triathlon, and appearing on both Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, where she reached the final.
At just 31 years old, she's had a pretty impressive career, also managing to squeeze in a psychology degree and business and management master's. And she's not stopping there, admitting exclusively during our interview that she plans to try and qualify for the Winter Games after her stint in Paris. "I'm looking to see if I can qualify for my first Winter Games - that's the next plan," she smiles.
