Here's one of the few athletes who've had to endure Long Covid. Jonny Walton contracted the Corona Virus last Spring - and it's after effects were "scary" as Jonny struggled to return to fitness.

Thankfully Jonny is back to fitness and this year he and his British Rowing colleagues had to ditch their warm-weather training. Instead, they've had a camp at the hub of England Football, St George's Park.

And Jonny has another unusual sideline. He and his partner make fruit gins.

If you'd like to make a donation to my chosen charity - Maggie's Cancer Centres - then here's the link. £2/3 would be great!
