She was beaten by McKinnon and (after briefly being bullied and cowed into an apology) she is now resolving to fight for women's sports.

I don’t do Twitter but hope Jen knows how much support she has for this stance! I stand with Jen.

Go Jen. We are with you.

Good for Jen. I saw before that McKinnon had bullied her into an apology and was furious for her.

I'd love to see women boycotting the official awards ceremonies, maybe even organising alternative ones, in these cases. A boycott needs to happen, but women athletes shouldn't have to give up their sports and their chances to compete, to make a political point.

Refusing to stand on the podium with a cheat seems like a much easier way of sending the same messages to the sports organisations that are allowing this nonsense.

Good for her! She's going to have a really rough time over the next few days. I hope she gets in touch with Martina and other sportswomen and they can work on a strategy of fairness.
