Claudia Hollingsworth is one of the most exciting middle-distance prospects in Australian athletics history. And when you look back upon her career, there’s little wonder why. By 16 years old, Claudia was already competing against open-age fields and just a year later made her international debut at the World U20 Championships.

By 19, she was crowned the Australian National 800m Champion and went on to make the Olympic semi-finals in Paris, setting her up for success on the global stage against the world's absolute best in the Diamond League.

Now, she’s back on the track, shattering under-20 records and sharing her pure love for running after overcoming early career racing setbacks.

Watch Claudia go for gold at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games starting July 27 and stream it live directly on the 7plus Website, or head straight to the dedicated 7plus Athletics Hub where all the Commonwealth Games live feeds and event replays will be.

Growing up, Sarah Neill was a self-described shy little kid.

But working in sport changed that. And now she helps tell some of the biggest stories in Australian sport, every single day.

From working at two of the biggest clubs in Rugby League when Instagram was first launched to now running her own media business, Sarah shares how being made redundant in the traditional sports space gave her the courage to take the leap and start her own production company - Hustle Media.

THE NEXT is a monthly podcast from The Female Athlete Project.

Each episode, futurist and former athlete Reanna Browne joins Chloe and Bez to explore what’s changing in women’s sport, before it hits the headlines.

We shine a light on the pockets of the future already here - the signals of change that are quietly [or not-so-quietly] reshaping women's sport in the present. Not to predict what’s coming, but to notice what’s already in motion.

This week, we discuss four signals of change around the quantification of women athletes which includes what their data is being used for and who it's being used by.
