In today’s ⁦ @heraldscotland ⁩ I speak to ⁦ @EilidhDoyle ⁩ about her comeback after having baby Campbell, how everything has changed for her and her somewhat surprising feelings of disappointment that the Olympics were postponed

Eilidh Doyle determined to overcome all hurdles on way back to the top

IT would be easy to assume Eilidh Doyle’s reaction to hearing the Tokyo Olympics was postponed by a year was absolute delight.
