Two Olympic gold medals and 34 World Championship medals, there was nothing Victoria Pendleton couldn't do on the track - she even turned her hand to horse-racing after retiring from cycling at the peak of her powers in the summer of 2012.

Now in The Fear Opportunity, Victoria draws on her own experiences, both deeply personal and professional, to demonstrate how we can all turn fears into the opportunity and reframe our lives more positively.

In this episode of Great British Bosses, we also talk all things Olympics with a real legend of Cycling and someone that changed the face of the sport for the better in the UK.

THE FEAR OPPORTUNITY - How feeling your fear builds strength and confidence - BLUEBIRD is out NOW!

The International Olympic Committee says sports around their world should lift their ban on Belarus competing individually or as a national team, that's been in place since the Ukraine War started in 2022. The IOC Executive Board says athletes "should not be limited by the actions of their governments". But Russia remain banned not because of war but of concerns about the anti-doping regime - its ten years since they were found guilty of state sponsored doping at Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. Are these the right decisions? We hear from President Kirsty Coventry.

The face of the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games is now an ambassador as the Games return to the Scottish City for the second time in 12 years, if not in quite the same capacity. But with the centenary around the corner, at least Glasgow saved the movement - now it's time to put on a show!

And as Eilidh is a proud Hearts fan - we break the habit of a lifetime and ask what's more nerve-wracking an Olympic final or the Edinburgh club potentially winning the Scottish Premier League for the first time?
