The BBC World Service reaches a weekly global audience of 318 million making it the most listened to radio station in the world. That is why it is a very big deal that its BBC Sport unit has, over the past two years, conducted in depth interviews with more than a dozen EcoAthletes Champions who are leading the #ClimateComeback.
Today, GreenSportsBlog brings you BBC Sport’s Caroline Barker’s conversations with USA Rugby 7s Alena Olsen — who has worked to bring climate action to her sport for years — and the multi-faceted world class halfpipe skier Jeanee Crane-Mauzy.
Alena Olsen
Olsen discusses her ‘love at first tackle’ experience with rugby and her passion to make a difference on climate in a sport that had not engaged on the issue. She made sure that began to change!
