Women Unscripted

Catriona Morrison, MBE, is a multiple Duathlon World Champion and multiple Ironman and Ironman 70.3 triathlon Champion. Since retiring from professional sport in January 2015, Catriona has spent most of her time developing Everactiv - a kid’s activewear company.  She tells us what she learned during her years as a pro athlete, how she felt receiving her MBE from Prince Charles and her vision for Everactiv. Catriona and business partner Linda Barklay have recently launched an initiative called Club Everactiv, designed to give back to kid’s sports clubs across the UK.  For more global women's sports coverage visit us at www.wispsports.com and join us on social media @WiSP Sports.

 

Greek born Juliana Buhring, who has dual German-English nationality, is an ultra endurance cyclist.  She has taken on some of the longest bike rides in the world in the past four years having discovered the sport more by opportunity rather than ambition. Juliana was raised in the religious sect Children of God and suffered shocking abuse from which she eventually broke free only later to lose the love of her life in a tragic accident. It was during this period of grieving that she was inspired by a friend to start biking and take on marathon challenges.  In 2012 Juliana cycled around the world which took 152 days from Naples to Naples with 144 pedaling days for which she made the Guiness Book of Records. A year later she took on the inaugural Transcontinental Race from London to Instanbul. In 2014, she won the women’s category and finished fourth in the Trans Am Race from Oregon to Virginia over 4, 322 miles and 20 days. And this year she completed the Race Across America crossing 12 states and 3000 miles.

On Sport in Focus this week we take a closer look at Kitesurfing with the newly crowned world champion Daniela Moroz. A sophomore at Campalindo High School near San Francisco, Daniela has been kitesurfing internationally for the past three years and recently beat the reigning world champion in China to snatch the title.  All you need is a board and kite to harness the waves and the wind, much like sailing -  it’s a sport that is very exciting to watch producing great images and is becoming increasingly popular although it’s still in the shadows compared to mainstream sports. For more information and resources visit www.wispsports.com where you'll find much more global women's sports coverage.
