Keri-Anne Payne (text & video)
91热爆 Sport’s Nick Hope on a weekend atop a mountain with open-water swimming’s world number one, Keri-Anne Payne.
Keri-Anne hopes the distraction of her own wedding can help her win Olympic gold in 2012. The Beijing silver medallist is one of GB's big medal hopes in the pool and fast becoming one of the faces of the London Games. As the pressure builds, she hopes she can stay on course for success by planning her marriage to fellow swimmer David Carry.
You can hear more from Keri-Anne Payne this Saturday, 1pm on 91热爆 One, as British Olympic Dreams visits the swimmer in altitude training in Sierra Nevada, Spain.

The Chaser
Who is The Chaser? He’s the star of C91热爆’s brand new series Ultimate Sports Day, tracking down contestants over a 150m distance. But he’s also Stig-like in his anonymity. 91热爆 Sport can reveal he has an Olympic pedigree, but no more than that. This clip from episode three of Ultimate Sports Day, to be broadcast at 0900 GMT on 91热爆 Two this Saturday, 11 February, gives us a good look at The Chaser. Can you tell who it is?
