Rio Olympic diary with Sky Scholar and boxer Savannah Marshall

By Mark Ashenden

Savannah Marshall gives an insight to life as an Olympian with her Rio video diary

British boxer Savannah Marshall recently returned from Brazil after producing two fine performances on the Olympic stage.

The Sky Academy Sports Scholar barely had time to sit down but in between the training and competing, the 25-year-old captured a few magical moments from her experiences in Rio, inside and outside the ring.

From her training camp in Belo Horizonte in her Olympic build-up, to going behind the scenes with her GB team-mates and revealing her emotions after her opening win and the pain of just missing out on a medal.

Losing to her Dutch arch rival was tough, but despite the heartbreaking defeat, Hartlepool's top star remained all smiles as she enjoyed hanging out with some of GB's gold medallists.
