Sunday Vortex, May 5Unfair Play, by Sharron Davies with this author, has been shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards 2024 “Sports Writing Award”. The day Unfair Play can be shifted to the shelf marked “History” will be one worth celebrating. As things stand, the fight to save women’s sport for female athletes and uphold rules on safe and fair play, is alive and kicking. I know this is a national kind of award, but to me it feels almost local. Helsinki and Finland hold the record: the national population was around 4 million when the capital hosted the 1952 Games.
