Women's Sport. A key issue in the Australian Sport Market
- There is far less money, sponsorship, coverage in the media, awareness and opportunity available to women than their male counterparts.
- And yet often, the sporting standard and entertainment value of the female athletes rivals or even surpasses that of the men. The gap between the two sexes is constantly closing.
- The Sports Hydrant is attempting to raise awareness of Women in Sport and put programmes in place to make this gap even closer.
