WiSP Sports Desk: S3E32 - A Golden Summer of Women's Sport

Emma Raducanu's stunning victory at the U.S. Open is headlines around the sports world so it's not surprising that for the fifth time in seven years the women's final has topped the men's in viewing figures in the US according to ESPN—women’s final 2.442m. Men’s final 2.051m.  Germany's Jessica von Bredahl Werndl and DSF Dalera won all three gold medals at the 2021 European Dressage Championship to add to her double gold from Tokyo. Also maintaining her Olympic form is gold medalist Carissa Moore who went on to win her fifth World Surf League title in California this week. And so did Australian Canoeist/Kayaker Jessica Fox who finished the 2021 Canoe Slalom World Cup season in style, both winning not only golds in Pau in canoe slalom and kayak, but also the overall World Cup series title. And Fiona Wylde becomes Stand up Paddling first World Champion. We also have news of the US Soccer Federation’s latest proposal for equal pay and the USWNT Players response. Plus breaking news of the investigation by Congress into the FBI handling of the Larry Nassar case. And Madison chooses three athletes to watch out for in our Youth Segment.
