Women’s Sport Week: British sports stars discuss their idols

‘Britain’s top sportswomen have the medals to show for their talent and dedication. But who were the inspirational people they looked up to in their fledgling careers? The inaugural Women’s Sport Week, which runs from 1-7 June, aims to celebrate, raise awareness and increase the profile of women’s sport.’

‘Women’s Sport Week is an opportunity for everybody involved with playing, delivering, leading or working in sport to celebrate, raise awareness and increase the profile of women’s sport across the UK.

The week is being led by Women in Sport, supported by National Governing Bodies, Sky Sports, the BBC, Sport England and supporters from across the sport sector.’
