Enjoying the taste of Olympic success has been Gab Stone, who founded his own sports agency, GSE Management, three years ago.

One of his first clients was gymnast Louis Smith, double-medallist at the London Games. Other Olympic recruits include gold-medal long jumper, Greg Rutherford, boxing champion Nicola Adams and weightlifter Zoe Smith. “However crazy I thought it would be, it’s even crazier,” said Mr Stone, who has a sports science degree from Loughborough University and is the son of Akiva School head, Susy Stone. “The buzz has been phenomenal.”
