Chris and Nancy start by discussing 'Closing the Visibility Gap’ published by the Women’s Sports Trust in the UK which is the most comprehensive study ever produced into the commercial drivers of women’s sport. They also address why football (or soccer) has become the primary sport for media coverage based on its popularity and whether that’s at the cost of increasing coverage of other women’s sport. also in the news is the Tokyo Olympic Games football draw, wheelchair basketball’s new league for women, the international ski federation excluding women in World Cup Ski Flying and why Martina Navratilova thinks tennis in in good hands.
Hosts: Chris Stafford & Nancy Gillen
