If there was ever an athlete ‘born’ to participate in a particular sport, it’s Sergei Evglevski. He will represent Australia at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games in the pistol events.
For former NSW Breakers and Sydney Thunder player Hannah Trethewy, her first opportunity to coach came when playing for her local club, Campbelltown Camden District Cricket Club (more affectionately known as Ghosts Cricket).
2020 was a year of disruption for our Australian athletes hoping to compete at the Tokyo Olympic Games scheduled for July.
This weekend at Kingscliff, Danielle McKenzie will be one of many women competing in the start of the 2020 Nutri-Grain Ironwoman series.
Australia’s hopes for back-to-back Olympic gold medals in rugby sevens received a boost last month, when it was announced that Australian women’s sevens superstar Emilee Cherry had made the decision to extend her deal with Rugby Australia.
With nine wins and four losses, the University of Canberra Capitals ended the 2020 WNBL regular season in third place.
With a six-wicket win over the Hobart Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon, the Sydney Thunder secured their place in this year’s WBBL finals, and South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail can’t wait.
For Chloe Rafferty and the Hobart Hurricanes, WBBL06 has come to an end.
When I speak with Tess Flintoff from the Melbourne Stars, I’m not sure what I should congratulate her on first: the Stars making the WBBL finals for the first time in the franchise’s history or Flintoff finally finishing her Year 12 exams.
Even though Katie Mack is in her second season with the Adelaide Strikers, she can’t help but have a soft spot for her former club the Melbourne Stars.
Nicole Faltum has been part of the Melbourne Stars since WBBL03, but hasn’t had the chance to feature in a finals series.
Melbourne Renegades coach Lachlan Stevens says he’ll remember “being tired and a little stressed” living the ‘hub life’ throughout WBBL06.
Last month, an agreement between Basketball Australia, Foxtel and the ABC ensured all 60 games of the WNBL season would be shown live across the country – and Bec Cole of the Southside Flyers was an unexpected beneficiary.
When sports fans reflect on 2020, no doubt one of the first words that will spring to mind is ‘hub’.
Over the last six years, the WBBL has developed into the best domestic cricket competition in the world.
The COVID-19 pandemic has meant a lot of change to the way the WBBL season looks this year.
The last year has been big for Annabel Sutherland.
When Hannah Dodd travels to Tokyo for the 2021 Paralympics as part of the Australian women’s national wheelchair basketball team, it won’t be her first Paralympic Games.
It’s been a tough couple of years for the Hobart Hurricanes in the WBBL.
After seven matches in WBBL06, all-rounder Taneale Peschel has taken the most wickets for the Perth Scorchers.
Thanks for your support, Alex! Stephanie was very inspiring and I’m glad that I was given a chance to cover the sport you love!
Stephanie Sang's kids inspire return to elite table tennis
Because the women’s game is in a position of growth – you would hope that all countries would work together for the betterment of cricket and so the quality and standard improves and so more players have the chance to be professional.
Women's IPL a squandered opportunity
So glad your daughter enjoyed it as much as I did, Terry! She is the future!!

Paul, I wondered about the financial point. I’m not across how much money India puts into the women’s game, but I would be interested to understand how much they will play players to compete in this WIPL.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
Surf Life Saving Australia celebrates 40 years of women
Jacko, it’s clear you have no understanding of the women’s game or why it was structured the way it was.
Addin Fonua-Blake's 'punishment' doesn't go far enough
And good to know that people are able to say whatever they like in ‘the heat of the moment’ and then apologise and it makes it all ok.
Addin Fonua-Blake's 'punishment' doesn't go far enough
It’s a man’s game?
The WNRL wants a word.
Addin Fonua-Blake's 'punishment' doesn't go far enough
Since when did asking for people to be treated with respect become ‘precious’.
Addin Fonua-Blake's 'punishment' doesn't go far enough
You don’t really believe that do you?
Addin Fonua-Blake's 'punishment' doesn't go far enough
Rob, I completely agree. Any attempt to couch spending time with athletes or children with a disability should certainly not be labelled as ‘punishment’. In fact, its completely the opposite and AFB, I have no doubt, would be the lucky one being invited into an environment like that.
It was part of the reason I didn’t suggest working with kids in the article. AFB has a history of ‘questionable behaviour’ and kids should not be ‘used’ to educate him.
It’s a very fine balance.

And also Adam, think about the buckets of money being thrown at some of the younger players…
Lack of talent isn't a problem in the NRL - but lack of good coaches may be
And in fact, so do the Cowboys!!

The Dragons have far more current Origin players than the Eels do…
Lack of talent isn't a problem in the NRL - but lack of good coaches may be
That’s a fair point, the Barry.
I guess what staggers me is that I do believe in ‘right coach at the right time’, but if so much depends on that perfect storm, then why on earth would the Broncos give Seibold such a long contract?
Why are the Cowboys holding on to Paul Green?
I also think that there is a tendency in the media to look backwards for coaches rather than forward. The same old and tired names are mentioned – look what can happen when you give someone like a O’Brien a go.

Is it that simple?
If the Tigers hadn’t made the loan agreement for Harry Grant how much longer would we have waited to see him get a string of first grade games together?
Lack of talent isn't a problem in the NRL - but lack of good coaches may be
I think part of it too is a risk aversion from the clubs.
I understand that maybe the Bulldogs had contracting issues, but why did no one else pick them up?
I actually think this is one of the Cowboys biggest problems, holding onto older players and not giving junior talent a go.

Every single player has political beliefs of some kind.
Every single one.
The sports media must promote inclusivity
No I don’t think so – there are limits to all our freedoms. Just like I don’t expect organisations or sports to tolerate people who make anti-Semitic comments.
Additionally, Folau was not sacked for his ‘belief in Christianity’, he was sacked for breach of contract. There are many men and women of Christian faith in the rugby community – none of them have been sacked for their Christian beliefs.

I think it’s a good point re Heritier Lumumba. I have been underwhelmed by the response so far – let’s see where it goes to from here. I think I am glass half empty, but happy to be proven wrong.

Then how is what I am doing anything different here?

Except that’s what happens all the time.
Yassmin Abdel-Magied made a comment about ANZAC Day and was chased with a pitchfork from the country.
Adam Goodes spoke his truth and felt like he was in a position where his only choice was to leave the AFL.
Why is that ok, yet certain other people in the media can say whatever they like, apologise and get a new gig?

Interested enough to click on the article though which I find fascinating.
