Sportshour is proving age is no barrier to sporting success with Caroline Barker speaking to the 99-year-old swimmer who has broken three world records in the past week.

Betty Brussel from Canada has broken the 100-104-year-old age class world record in the 400m freestyle, knocking nearly four minutes off the previous standard, and then repeated her record-breaking performances in 50m backstroke and the 50m breaststroke that same day.

We’ll hear from the charity called Tackle, who are using football to sexual health and HIV awareness in Africa.

With six months to go until the start of the Paris Olympics, three-time world break dancing champion Menno Van Gorp will be chatting about his preparations as the sport makes its debut at the Games.

Bryan’s Gunn is not a messiah, but is he a very naughty boy? We speak to the man behind the social media sensation, who regularly makes fun of footballers and their poor choice of vocabulary.
