47 people have died in fatal stabbings and shootings in London since the start of the year, many of them teenagers or young adults. Michael Harris, head coach of Double Jab Boxing Gym tells us how the South London club is looking to keep young people clear of gang violence. Six years after first accepting women members, the home of Masters announced their plans to host a women's amateur tournament from 2019, former LPGA tour professional Anya Alvarez assesses the pros and cons of the competition which could clash with the first women's major of the year. As the 2018 Commonwealth Games gets underway on the Gold Coast of Australia we hear from Olufunke Oshonaike, Nigeria's most decorated female table-tennis player who wasn't selected for the Commonweath Games where the country are being represented by an all-male line up.

Michael DePietro CEO of the Karate Combat League tells us what he's doing to bring a 700-year-old sport into the 21st century. And we meet Ernestine Shepherd, the 81-year-old bodybuilder, who may just have the secret to eternal youth.
