Olympics presenter Gabby Logan: 'I wish I'd made it as an athlete' As she starts her coverage of the Tokyo Olympics (from Salford), the presenter talks about family tragedy and her former gymnastics dream 17 July 2021 • 5:00am Logan has rigorously maintained her levels of fitness and flexibility long into adulthood, and trains most days Credit: Silvana Trevale Gabby Logan thrives on sport; it’s like oxygen to her. So this summer she couldn’t be happier. She’s been broadcasting on television and radio – the Olympics, two World Cups, the Six Nations, the London Marathon – for 26 years, has won Sports Presenter of the Year four times, and been made an MBE. She’s brave – she’s done stand-up comedy for Sport Relief, appeared on Strictly, and recently launched her own podcast, The Mid.Point. She’s determined – she was a teenage rhythmic gymnast, ranked third in the country, who represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games when she was 17. And she’s overcome tragedy – her brother Daniel died of a cardiac arrest, aged 15, while playing football in the garden, which effectively drove her parents apart and impacted the rest of her life.
