Meet nine-year-old chess champion Bodhana Sivanandan.
She is the youngest person to be selected in any sport to represent England at an international sporting competition.
Part of a team of five players, where the next youngest player is 23, Bodhana has been chosen for the England women's team playing in the Chess Olympiad in Budapest this September.
Bodhana only started playing chess during lockdown, before she caught the attention of the chess world in 2022 at the British championships.
