Eight March, Women’s Day: eight women who changed sport

Pioneers who have marked an era, putting in it the talent, the face, the muscles, the courage, the sacrifices, the sweat, the punches. Not to be better, but to be considered equal

They started from a place so far away that the distance – retracing it – resembles a wound. Along the way there are many obstacles and many poisons. Many – above all – the men who pushed them out of the field, racing on the sidelines, confined to the shadow. A woman who wants to play sports? But let’s not joke. For many years they have suffered the worst of humiliations: not being taken seriously. Then they took their revenge, because sport is a right. Putting the talent, the face, the muscles, the courage, the sacrifices into it.
