North East and Cumbria

With just months to go, Jeff Brown and Katie Gornall meet the northern athletes hoping for Olympic and Paralympic success this summer. Long jumper Chris Tomlinson keeps his own video diary as he struggles to overcome injury. Boxer Amanda Coulson fights for her place in the Games, and we look back to hear from some of the northerners who made Olympic history - including the diver who trained by jumping off a board into a pond outside a County Durham colliery.
