In a special edition, we focus on the world of sports and how women athletes are treated. When an elite athlete announces her pregnancy, inevitably she will receive many congratulatory messages wishing her well; on her retirement, that is. But top athletes are managing to prove that motherhood and sporting life are not incompatible. Also French officials working in the field of wrestling launch a scientific program to analyse the menstrual data of their athletes in order to improve their performance. Plus Annette Young talks to Irish basketball player and gender rights writer, Rebecca O’Keeffe, on the need for coaches and players to rethink attitudes towards menstruation.
