Somewhere between Sydney Sweeney straddling a basketball hoop with her tatas out and Joanna Wietrzyk publicly pooping herself at HYROX, thereās women like me⦠holding down the fort for non-eventful participation and representation of women in sport.
Big up to all the other mediocre recreational athletes doing it for fun. To stay fit. To stay healthy. To hang out with other like-minded legends. And to have a damn good go at things weāre not even that good at.
Yep, Iām still rubbish at running up hills. Still trying though. Still smiling. Still showing up.
These are the stories that grab the headlines around women in sport. And I get it ā theyāre sensational, entertaining and occasionally involve a bare arse or a bowel emergency.
But make sure your feed is also celebrating all the regular folks doing regular stuff to keep sport alive.
The runners plodding round the park. The women lifting weights after work. The people turning up to their first class. The ones who are never going to win anything but are having an absolute bloody blast trying.
I see you all. And I thank you for your service.
Keep showing up. Keep having a go. Keep inspiring the people around you. ā¤ļø
