Along with one feature on Black Sticks captain Stacey Michelson in the Herald on Sunday, it was the only glimpse of women playing sport. Newsroom appears to do the best, with a whole section dedicated to women playing sport. Currently, "women's sport" appears to be mostly treated as a niche event, something that's nice to cover sometimes, served up as a side dish to the "real sport" that men play.

Minister for Sport Grant Robertson has said promotion of women in sport is a priority.
