Sam took home Olympic gold at the Rio 2016 games as she competed in the hockey heat. She missed out on being part of the London 2012 Olympics, but competed for England at the 2013 EuroHockey tournament and 2014 Commonwealth Games, where she won silver.

She beat the Netherlands on penalties at the 2016 Rio Olympics, as she took home gold, marking the first time that team GB won Olympic gold in the women's hockey heat.
Sport is clearly Sam's passion, as besides her role as a presenter on Question of Sport, she has also featured on sports comedy panel game show Play to the Whistle, alongside Holly Willoughby.
Earlier this year, she also joined Dan Walker in the BBC studio for the Olympic Breakfast segment, where the pair reported on the athletes at Tokyo 2020.
