for those who love the outdoors
20 June, 2023
This week on the Outside & Active Podcast Dom is joined by Britain's Taekwondo pioneer, Sarah Stevenson MBE. From her time as a teenage sensation to battling adversity in the toughest year of her life, this weeks episode is available to download or watch now.
4 time Olympian, Bronze Olympic medalist, 3 time world champion and a trailblazer in the sport of Taekwondo. Sarah is the London 2012 athlete who had the honour of reading the athletes oath at the opening ceremony. A superb motivational story has highs and lows, in between success has come heartbreak with injuries and the tragic death in the same year of both her mum and dad.
Not only has Sarah shown a consistent ability to compete at the top for a number of years, but has inspired many on and off the mat. She set up her own academy aiming to educate and train young, aspiring athletes across a range of sports. Just a further example of why Sarah is a true ambassador to Great British sport. Sarah’s most remarkable achievement came in May 2011 by becoming World Champion for the third time during a year of tragedy.

dryrobe® is the original outdoor changing robe - designed to help you get active outside, whatever the weather.
A bit like having your own portable changing room, the oversized design of the dryrobe® Advance gives you plenty of space to get changed in and out of a wetsuit, or sports kit, but is versatile enough to be worn as a coat or a jacket.Made from 100% recycled fabrics, the waterproof and windproof outer protects you from the elements, whilst its super-warm inner lining helps you dry off quickly after getting out of the water.What people really love about the dryrobe® Advance though is its versatility.
It’s perfect for a huge range of outdoor activities, including surfing, wild swimming, triathlon, paddleboarding, mountain biking, camping and even walking your dog in torrential rain!
