In August Kori Carter from the United States was crowned world champion in the women's 400 metres hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in London. She talks to us about her win, how she started on her athletics career and about the impact of her faith on her life and sport. At the 2016 Olympics in Rio the United States won 46 gold medals but, by contrast, the West African nation of Ghana has never won an Olympic gold medal. We talk to Bawah Fuseini, Secretary General of the Ghana Athletics Association to find out what steps the country is taking to turn this situation around.
