In this episode of the Sport Intern Special we speak to one of the trail blazers from the world of athletics. Pauline Davis-Thompson set the standard for sprinters from her island of the Bahamas. At her fifth Olympic Games in Sydney 2000, she inspired her team known as the Golden Girls to win the gold medal in the 4x100m relay final. She also belatedly won gold in the 200m after the winner on the day Marion Jones was disqualified for doping.  Since giving up the track, she has been one of the loudest advocates for gender equality working through World Athletics. In our chat, the World Athletics Honorary Council Member, talks about her continued fight for equality for women in sport, and shares her thoughts on the future of transgender athletes in the world of sport.

Episode 9 Pauline Davis-Thompson

To kick off World Athletics Women’s Week ahead of International Women’s Day and to #BreakTheBias by sharing the stories of inspiring women to create a bank of great role models for future generations, World Athletics President Seb Coe speaks with two-time Olympic champion Pauline Davis-Thompson about her book ‘Running Sideways’, which chronicles her inspiring journey from the ghetto to Olympic glory.   Born and raised in the poor neighbourhood of Bain Town in The Bahamas, she fought through poverty, inequality, racism and political machinations from her own country to beat the odds and become a two-time Olympic gold medallist, the first woman of colour on the World Athletics Council and an outspoken anti-doping advocate.
