🌟 A Weekend of Triumph: The BTT Sussex and London Experience at the Super Series World Championship Triathlon🌟 This weekend marked a milestone for the The Black Tri Tribe (BTT) community. Members from Sussex and London gathered to witness the sheer magnitude of human potential at the British Triathlon Federation supertri World Championship. It was a spectacle of endurance, where every stroke, pedal, and step was a testament to the power of perseverance. For the first time, I immersed myself in the thrill of the live event—both in-person and virtually. The electric atmosphere was palpable, as we watched athletes like Beth Potter and @Cassandre Beaugrand delivered performances that transcended the ordinary. Their grit and grace on this global stage brought the entire arena to its feet, uniting us in awe. As the founder of the Black Tri Tribe and a steadfast advocate for inclusivity in sports, this event resonated deeply. It was a celebration of what we stand for—a world where the starting line is accessible to all, and every finish is a collective victory for diversity. Beth and Cassandre didn't just race; they paved the way for female athletes everywhere, showcasing the boundless potential of women in sport. Their success is our inspiration. It fuels our mission to lower barriers and champion the involvement of Black and Asian communities in triathlon. As a community leader, it reaffirms my commitment to empowering our members through the transformative power of sport. We are more than a community; we are a force for change. Let’s carry this energy forward. Let’s make the impossible, possible—together. #BlackTriTribe #TriathlonInspiration #FemaleEmpowerment #CommunityLeadership #InclusiveSport

SheRaces, in partnership with Fund Her Tri UK, has released a report on the experience of women racing triathlon, alongside ways to increase female participation at events. This is welcome research and that is why we worked with SheRACES and Fund Her Tri to ensure our members were able to share their views for this report.  The SheRACES commitments announced in this report, if implemented by event organisers, should provide an improved experience for women taking part as well as increased numbers of women and girls participating in triathlon and at events. We are now reviewing the results and recommendations, alongside our own data and feedback from women in our sport, to see how we can further improve women’s experiences in triathlon, working with event organisers, clubs, and our members. Some of the issues raised in the report highlight wider sport and societal issues – triathlon is not immune to these – and we should all be taking a zero-tolerance approach to misogynistic behaviour at events.  Triathlon is founded on men and women doing the same distances for the same prize money and we are committed to ensuring both women and men participate at all levels in our sport.  The sport is in a great place when it comes to gender equity compared to other many other sports, but there is always more we can do to ensure everyone is welcome and barriers to taking part are mitigated or removed. We are fully committed to doing that. You can read our full response to the report here: https://lnkd.in/eb6_iqpf and the report itself here: https://lnkd.in/d_nSvP62

We need to hear from all female triathletes! SheRaces and Fund Her Tri UK need your help! https://lnkd.in/eq-Zx-q8 We need your help to fully understand the considerations on how to make Triathlon a more gender-inclusive sport so we can create guidelines to support every triathlon and welcome all female athletes. Our research stats from surveys are great for getting attention. Our original finding that almost 90% of women would be more likely to enter races that committed to inclusivity got race directors thinking 💰 But we find it is your race stories that provide the real insight. They help us drive change with races by explaining how issues have affected athletes.  WHY we didn’t sign up for a triathlon, or WHY we felt uncomfortable on the start line. What it was that gave us a less-than-perfect race experience or made us feel less valued. We also want to hear what races have done well – what has made a positive difference so we can help other races do the same. Every response is valuable and we need to hear views of a diverse range of athletes – from novice to experienced, of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, backgrounds and preferred triathlon distances.  Please support us by sharing with any clubs you are part of and nudging any triathletes you know.

Breaking Barriers: The History of Women Competing in Men’s Golf Tournaments Can women participate in Men's Golf Competitions? Historically, golf has been viewed as a men's game. However, it has evolved to include women as participants. The first women's golf event took place in Scotland in 1857, when a group from the St. Andrews Ladies’ Club came together to establish an exclusive women's golf club. Despite women's achievements in golf, they still face dominance from male golfers. However, early pioneers have laid the groundwork for progress, albeit slowly. Today, numerous professional women's golf tournaments exist globally, including dedicated PGA events. Increasingly, barriers are being broken that once prevented women from competing in men's tournaments. As male athletes generally earn more across sports, it's understandable that women often seek rewards in men's golf competitions. This article highlights female golfers who have made significant contributions to these events. I went ahead to discuss a few names like: 1. Babe Didrikson Zaharias 2. Annika Charlotta Sorenstam 3. Lexi Thompson Somewhere in the writeup, I used the client's anchor text "https://lnkd.in/du2qRxyb" Imagine using a naked link directly in an unrelated article. It has to be spot-on, or else it will look like spam. Afterward, I included two other links from trusted sites, and that's it. That makes sense, right? Comeon - send me a DM to discuss your content writing needs. Regards.
