Unlike the popular opinion that women are hard to come by in sports, the frontier has changed immensely in the past decade and more women continue to break grounds in sports. Sports has been welcoming to women and it is one of the most powerful platforms for promoting gender equality and empowering women in today’s world. Women are making mark in it and it is worthy of emulation. The most inspiring women are those who play sports, run tracks and share their opinion by writing or speaking on radio and TV or who stand on or beside the pitch and report sport events for lovers of the game. These women are reputable international stars to acclaimed media personalities.
