Awesome article on women in sport

[FusionChefGeoff]

Hope this link works, really thought provoking but not unsurprising how women's bodies are ignored when it comes to sports science.

Jaw dropping note at the end how Ireland rugby launched their new jerseys with male rugby stars to promote the male version but female MODELS rather than players for the ladies shirts.

Great article (the link works fine).

Good piece , thanks!

Lovely article, so rare you hear female bodies celebrated in this way! Or the very clear points made as to why female bodies and female sport is not just a side tack on from the default male sport.

What a good article - and the odds she has overcome. Awesome woman.

This chimes with a section I'm listening to now on woman's hour re women footballers and the greater damage of headers - insufficiency of data mentioned, possibility of variation of damage dependent on menstrual cycle, difference in physiology.

Good god some of the comments are hideous!

I really like this article on how women should train to take advantage of their physiology rather than just train like small men. It really made sense to me as I had fallen into a way of weight training that suited me, and I was seeing really great results despite every thing I'd read telling me I was doing it wrong.

Oh no . I was so pleased with the content I didn't check the comments. Will have a look now

Comments show just how little respect there is for female athletes.

Is there a sharetoken equivalent for The Telegraph? It's asking for my bank details and I don't want to give them!
Thanks
