To my new followers, welcome! Now that @tokyo2020 is done, Iโm looking forward to producing some new content and having new conversations with athletes to find out the stories behind the success!
In the meantime you can check out the challenges faced by athletes throughout the pandemic, many successfully making it through to the Games, but unfortunately many missing out, it was a savage year!

The womenโs game has come a very long way in a short space of time, in terms of wages, commercialisation, and global appeal, and its thanks to pioneers like Joelle who have made their passion for the game noticed โฝ๏ธ https://t.co/qJaBpMJTsP ๐ฒ
