The Olympic Journey: Born Winners

Gabby Logan looks into what it takes to become a winner. Asking whether we can be born to win by the make-up of our genes, she takes a DNA test to find out. Gabby also meets Olympic, Commonwealth and European long jump champion Greg Rutherford and learns how his view on nature versus nurture has steered his training and preparation methods - and how he balances this with being a new dad to his six-month old son. Sir Matthew Pinsent asks whether people can be taught to win as he visits world record holder Adam Peaty and looks into the change of mentality within the British Swimming team which has brought big wins over the past 12 months. And Sir Clive Woodward gives his view on how winners can be created through team spirit, psychology and preparation.
