FIVE-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave was at Brunel University this week to encourage students into sporting careers.

The National Sports Roadshow visited Brunel for the second year running, giving sixth-formers and university students the chance to learn from professionals and organisations in the sport, leisure and fitness industry.

Sir Steve hosted a question and answer session about how he climbed to the pinnacle of his career as a record-breaking rower.
