More than the Score – Jorinde van Klinken: Strength on your own terms

Available for over a year

Jorinde van Klinken is taking on athletics on her own terms. She’s the European discus champion, but also an elite shot-putter, with major medals in both events. For the last five years, she’s faced the demands of both disciplines while keeping to a vegan diet – something that’s required her to learn plenty of lessons along the way.

More than the Score’s Ed Harry has an in-depth conversation with Jorinde about the realities of life as a vegan athlete, and the personal and professional reasons behind her diet. She also explains why she’s not content to stick to one event, and why she believes field athletes are getting a raw deal as the sport tries to broaden its appeal.

Unexpected questions and beyond the scoresheet chat. More than the Score tells stories from all over the world of sport. From Formula One to netball, MMA to figure skating, and Grand Slam tennis to Diamond League athletics. We’ve got interviews with extraordinary athletes, as well as the experts working behind the scenes, from football super-agents to the coaches keeping athletes in peak form. Plus, we’ve got the expertise of the BBC’s top journalists, who share their insights from decades of covering sport at all levels.

And if you’ve got your own take on the stories we cover, we’d love to hear from you. Email morethanthescore@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp us on 0044 800 032 0470. You can find more information, along with our privacy notice, on our website: www.bbcworldservice.com/morethanthescore
