Mail Sport and the National Lottery have joined forces to bring you exclusive video content from our top Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave every day during the Olympic Games in Paris.
Sir Steve won five gold medals in an illustrious career and is regarded by many as our greatest Olympic hero. In 1996, Team GB won just one gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics – and Steve, along with Matthew Pinsent, delivered it to the nation.
This was in an era before the introduction of National Lottery funding, which transformed the fortunes of our British athletes. Thanks to National Lottery players, Team GB are now a superpower on the world stage, winning 22 gold medals and 64 medals at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo.
