So pleased to see a piece of decent journalism on the current situation surrounding the rape allegations against Cristiano Ronaldo. I have been appalled by the recent blind hero-worship in the press that ignores/omits it completely

Six months on, what's happened to the Ronaldo rape case?

To be the world's most famous athlete means Ronaldo can appear on every screen yet somehow elude the fallout from a rape allegation.

The lovely @TomMarquand @HollieDoyle1 made me a cuppa and talked to me about what it’s like to be two of the most successful young jockeys in the UK - and race against your other half

Twitter friends, I have a new website! Please enjoy a more perusable portfolio and the eternally awkward experience of reading someone speaking about herself in the third person

This is an excellent piece on comparing female athletes to men "Accomplishments of women can be appreciated without direct comparisons to accomplishments of male counterparts... Serena Williams doesn’t have to beat Federer to prove that she’s the GOAT"

Women don't have to compete against men to prove their greatness

And they don't need Kobe Bryant to vouch for them.

It is my birthday and Phil Neville has scheduled a 7.30pm press conference. I await my turn with the microphone to ask if he is up for joining us all for some karaoke after.

Constructive journalism: a thread👇🏻 In the wake of Sarah Everard’s death & ongoing discussion of violence against women, I felt possibly the most hopeless I have ever felt as a feminist. The amazing work of my colleagues @thetimes @thesundaytimes has started to change that (1/)

What a joy to see KJT win gold after so much heartache. She once said she wasn't sure what it would take not to feel impostor syndrome. Becoming Heptathlon world champion with a new British record, beating Jess Ennis-Hill's score from 2012, ought to do it.
