Triathlon is often modelled as the perfect sport for gender equality. But is it? In this episode, Coach Philip and Coach Alan, alongside Dr Lisa Ingarfield and the recent BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Unsung Hero (London) winner Katee Hui, discuss the gender balance in endurance sport. Should we put triathlon on that pedestal? Or should we look for further opportunities to improve? What is the fight between Women and Men equity in endurance sports? How do the cultural differences in our society impact sports, what can other sports learn from triathlon and what can endurance sports learn from them?
