When Orla Met Pippa York: Being Transexual in Elite Sport - Part 1

Season 1, Episode 4,   Apr 30, 2018, 10:59 PM

When Orla Met Pippa York is a conversation about the difficulties and struggles of living life as a transexual in elite sport. Pippa was, for many years, Robert Millar, the most successful British cyclist in history at the time. From the age of 5 she realised she was different, and in her years standing on the podium of the toughest bike races in the world, she realised what that difference was. Pippa candidly lays bare the "awful situation' of being trans, and the relative ease of her life now, as a woman.
