Sharron Davies R4 PM ~5.35 May1st

[TeenToTwenties]

Speaking very clearly and eloquently without interruption about the FA and other sports bodies. Mentioned Hamstead Ponds and Parkrun.

I thought she was excellent.

In the words of Kara Dansky: 'If we can be heard, we will win.'

Oh she’s great. Puts everything back in its proper place, calls things by their correct names, shows the science. Also, bonus that it wasn’t Evan Davies interviewing.

Wow what an interview. Such a role model for girls

She was brilliant. I loved that she said, several times that women had never been consulted.

Sharron is a breath of fresh air and reality in these discussions 😍

She was brilliant
Thankypu Sharron

She was great, very clear and articulate.

She pointed out that the WFA etc had only changed the rules as their insurance no longer protected them in injury cases.

That was very good.

Absolutely magnificent. On point about every aspect of ED's questions. Brava Sharron! God I love all these women who stand up and take no shit 👏

Fricking splendid. I loved the mention of leopard, but loved the ‘they’re not excluded, they can play in the men’s’ team’ line even more. Common sense gets an airing on national media at last.

Quite

LOVE Sharon 👏👏👏

I just came looking for any threads about Sharron. This woman lost so much when she became part of the debate, I'm sure I read a while ago that she was in a lot of financial trouble because her work just dried up and no-one would touch her.

I grew up respecting her as a sportswoman and am in awe of her bravery on this, so when I heard her on the radio yesterday (probably from this programme, aa biting comment on R2 news that it's not the law that's changed, it's probably their insurance that has!) I thought "lovely to have you back and hear your voice again."

Is there anywhere I can now listen to this?

Has Sharron D yet to receive her true Olympic medals?

From 31 minutes in...

@nearlyoldie BBC Sounds - look at the schedule for Radio4 yesterday (5pm), it’s about half way through the PM programme

Following a PP possibly on a different thread, I have sent SD some thanks via her website.

I can only say Sharron Davies is the queen of clear, rational, logical explanations. That was amazing - I'm humbled by her eloquence 💖

Is it possible to listen back to this? Will it be on Sounds?

Have a look at the link a few posts up.

Thanks, I somehow missed that!

Yes thank you Sharron. I thought her assertive clear and basically fantastic. Heard by accident.
