Australia’s female athletes have some uncomfortable truths for us
About this episode
The ABC spoke to more than 150 elite athletes to get an understanding of their experience with sport and the testimonies don't paint a rosy picture. Underpaid, underappreciated, overworked, lacking support. Online abuse, in-person mistreatment, racism, sexism… the picture isn’t pretty… understanding it is pretty important. Featured: Amanda Shalala, senior journalist, ABC Sport.
