'My teammates have started calling me 'Granny''

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

10,000m runner Jo Pavey says she's "thrilled" to be competing in her fifth Olympics. The 42-year-old, who will be the oldest British woman to run in a Games, achieved the qualifying time at the European Championships in Amsterdam last week. She will become the first British track athlete to race in five Olympics. Speaking to 5 live's Phil Williams, Ms Pavey said "I just enjoy all the banter and the fun of it, like my teammates have started calling me 'Granny'. I never believed I'd still be competing at this age!" This clip is originally from Phil Williams on Wednesday 13 July 2016.
