Description

UnHerd’s Flo Read sits down with elite marathon runner Mara Yamauchi and Olympian swimmer Sharron Davies for a frank discussion on the future of women’s sport. Drawing on their own experiences and citing the East German doping scandal as a historical parallel, they critique sporting bodies for what they see as a betrayal of female athletes and make the case that preserving sex-based categories is the only way to ensure the integrity and survival of women’s sport.

  1. Sure, “sport” did it – just like the “internet” radicalised the extremist who shot Charlie Kirk.

    There is an ideological connection here. It’s called the far left, which has entrenched institutional power that is far more enduring than any incumbent elected government.
