What does it take to win Olympic Gold? Emma Finucane knows | Watts Occurring Femmes
This week on Watts Occurring Femmes, Manon puts Emma under the spotlight. How do you win Olympic Gold? And how do you even begin to think about backing that up four years later, at your second Olympics?
This is a fascinating chat into Emma's mindset and shows just how she's become a world champion and three-time Olympic medallist at such a young age.

G’s final Tour de France, live from Paris | Tour de France stage 21 | Watts Occurring
Well, that's that then. G has raced his final ever Tour de France stage. From the youngest man in the race who finished 140th back in 2007, to the 2018 winner, and now the oldest guy in the race. It's been a truly remarkable journey.
Yesterday's ride around Paris was G's 282nd Tour stage. Yes, you are reading that correctly.
The rain fell on Paris and put paid to our best laid plans to bring you a finish line pod with G but, once he'd dried off, had a shower and a celebratory beer, he joined Tom for a chat at the team hotel to reflect on a momentous day.
Enjoy - and thank you, G.

Arise, Sir Arensman and sorry Mr Yates | Tour de France stage 19 | Watts Occurring
When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman.
What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir.
And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian.
Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy with G!
We'll be back on Sunday with a VERY special pod from Paris.

Ham sandwiches on the queen stage | Tour de France stage 18 | Watts Occurring
G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go.
He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do.
The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke will be back tomorrow night with one final pod before then.
