'A culture in which pain, fatigue and discomfort are frequently normalised' – Menstrual disorders can disrupt lives and careers, so why do we know so little about conditions like PCOS and endometriosi... More than one in 10 women suffer with a condition relating to their period, which can disrupt lives and even shorten sporting careers.

Idea - a Shazam style app for sports commentator identification.

Enjoying lots of different winter Olympic sports ❄️ but keen to know who is commentating each event. Tricky if missed the start and the intros πŸ€”

Women's Tour Down Under: Ally Wollaston sprints to stage 1 win after solo break is reeled in before the line Josie Nelson second and Femke Gerriste third in Willunga

ICYMI:

Ally Wollaston πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ sprints to stage 1 win after solo break is reeled in before the line at the Tour Down Under πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί 2026.

Matt Richardson has already made history by becoming the first cyclist to break the 9-second barrier in the 200 metres, with a time of 8.941.
▢️ And tomorrow, he will try again.
