The Quicky Junior: Long Covid, Body Positivity In Sport & Is 'Finders Keepers' True?

Keeping up with the daily news cycle can be hard, especially if you have little ones who need your constant attention, so we’ve created a new show to get you and your family up to speed, weekly.

In around 15 minutes, you and your little ones will all be up to speed on what’s happening in the world, including a sports wrap, perfect for your commute to Saturday sport.

In this episode, we find out exactly what scientists do and don't know about 'Long Covid' and why some people continue to have symptoms long after their initial infection while others don't.

Then we discover what exactly the rules are if you're lucky enough to find something valuable on the street or at a beach, are finders really keepers?

And then we speak to an amazing female athlete to talk about body positivity in sport, and why everyone should feel great about themselves on the pitch or in the pool, no matter what you look like.
