When Orla Met Sam Quek

What does it mean to be a woman in the public eye these days, specifically in sport? It’s a question that’s come up in my chats with the likes of Judy Murray and Dina Asher-Smith in previous episodes. 

Sam Quek is someone who has quite a bit to say on the matter. Quek is an Olympic champion hockey player, one of the great success stories in what is a minority, amateur sport. 

When her moment came, Sam found the media more ready to talk about her looks rather than what she had achieved on the hockey field. Is that simply the lot of certain women in the public eye? Or can women be both sexy and sporty, and all the variations in between? We discuss this and more in When Orla Met Sam Quek.
