Women in sport are breaking records, winning ultra-marathons outright, smashing endurance challenges and changing the game for female athletes - so why aren’t we hearing more about them?
This week, we’re celebrating the women pushing the limits of what’s physically possible, from Rachel Entrekin’s historic Cocodona 250 win and Sophie Woods’ record-breaking 2,000km run across Europe to Olympic pole vault champion Nina Kennedy and basketball phenomenon Caitlin Clark.
We also look at the science of women and endurance sport, ask why men seem so wildly confident in their own sporting abilities, and unpack the huge gap in media coverage between men’s and women’s sports.
Turns out, running like a girl might be a compliment after all.
