Thanks @EmilyHawgood1
for sharing your journey with @leepersse. Ultra Trail Running (up to 100km races!) is where Em is happiest and she tells us about her love of the outdoors and what it takes to endure and never give up.

The #USOpen women’s final was watched by 2.44M viewers, 17% more viewers on average than watched the men’s match (2.05M).
Yet women’s sports receives a mere 4% of all sports media coverage.
Women’s sports must be given the parity they deserve. thehill.com/changing-america…

One of the toughest journeys I’ve ever been on! #Tokyo2020 was my first and I’m certain will be my most memorable Games! The results definitely didn’t go our way, but we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and learn from the mistakes made. This is not the end. 💚💛🇿🇦🇿🇦!

Every now and then, I am hit by a wave of gratitude! Life really did work out the way I hoped it would.

Men, we need to do better.
This behaviour is unacceptable and it’s also important to call out friends who think it’s okay to harass a woman just out for a run.
Have a read of the thread if you think it’s not a problem.

Thank you to each and every person who shared appreciation & love for the #Original9 today, on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the $1 contracts.
We have come so far and made great strides toward equality for all.
But we are far from done. The work must continue!

If you're not happy without a medal you won't be happy with one. A simple, but difficult truth for all athletes to understand.
