The One with the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation

EGLSF co-presidents Sarah Townsend and Hugh Torrance join us for a cracking chat.

It was founded in 1989 by a group of clubs in Germany and the Netherlands.

And in the three decades that have passed since then, the European Gay and Lesbian Sport Federation has grown into a body that represents more than 22,000 members from right across the continent.

The goal is simple – to represent all athletes in Europe, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and to help administer the EuroGames event as well.

Sarah Townsend and Hugh Torrance are the co-presidents of the EGLSF, and are two cracking guests to have on the show to tell us all about the Federation's work.

We chat about their respective journeys in sport; how they got involved with the EGLSF ; running EuroGames; keeping going during COVID; the work being done by EGLSF; and so much more.

Two brilliant guests on one superb episode – and we think you’re really going to like it.
