The London Evening Standard might not be your daily read – for certain it is not anything we read first thing in the morning here at HTBS – but we are willing to do an exception as the paper has interviewed famous Katherine Grainger, who recently published her book Dreams Do Come True. In this Q&A, Grainger for example answers the questions: ‘Have you finally completed your PhD in homicide? And which gave you greater satisfaction, that or the gold?’ (As we didn’t know the answer already…!) Read the Q&A here.

Katherine Grainger will be speaking at the London Sports Writing Festival at Lord’s between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 19. For more information and tickets log on to londonsportswritingfestival.com and @lswf2013
