Rotherham stars line up for sporting questions
Ever wondered how professional rugby players make the snap decisions that can turn a game in their favour? Or what it's like to hurtle down a bobsleigh track at 100 mph? Or marvelled at how an athlete stays in peak condition?
A free event taking place at Rotherham's Hellaby Hall on Thursday 10 March will give people the chance to ask local sporting personalities these questions and more.
People can put their questions to Olympic and Commonwealth medal winner Peter Elliott, world champion bobsleigh driver Nicola Minichiello and Rotherham Titans fly-half Peter Swatkins.
They will be joined by top physiologist Professor Edward Winter from Sheffield Hallam University, who will talk about exactly what it takes to keep a top athlete in shape and his experiences of helping world class athletes prepare for success.
The event, hosted by BBC Radio Sheffield, will give the audience an opportunity to put questions to the panel and find out what it takes to get to the top in sport.
Sheffield Hallam University is delivering this event in association with BBC Radio Sheffield and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. Tickets are free but there will be fundraising activity on the night by the Rotherham mayor's nominated charities - Homestart Rotherham, Rotherham Lions Welfare Fund and Rotherham Samaritans.
John Palmer, director of communications and public affairs at the University, said: "This special evening is a great opportunity for sports fans to quiz local sporting heroes and find out what makes them proud to call South Yorkshire home. It will be a fascinating insight into the lives of some of the regions top sports men and women."
The event takes place at 7:30pm on Thursday 10 March at Hellaby Hall, Rotherham. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance on the Sheffield Hallam website
