Talking Exercise Safety - with Jennifer Stoute, Sarah McDonald & Hayley Madigan Sky Sports: Real Talk

    • Sport

“I kind of just froze in that moment....and everything everyone tells you about being assaulted was true. I just didn't know what to do.”  

On this week’s Real Talk, Olympic bronze medallist and former Gladiator Jennifer Stoute, middle-distance runner Sarah McDonald, and health, fitness, and female empowerment influencer Hayley Madigan share their experiences of harassment and assault whilst training. They discuss how they’re now advocating for more awareness and change on athlete safety.   

A special thanks to Rachel Williams, the Policy and Public Affairs Manager at Women in Sport who joins us on this episode to give us her expert advice.  

This podcast contains discussions of sexual assault which some listeners may find distressing. If you’ve been affected by anything we talk about and would like more information on organisations that can provide help and support, please head to sky.com/viewersupport.  

Real Talk is presented by Miriam Walker-Khan and this episode is produced by Sabrina Bal, Alice Reeves-Turner, Claire Taylor and Chessie Bent.
