olympian dina asher—smith is calling for more research into the effects of periods on sport performance. the defending champion limped out of tuesday�*s 100m final at the european championships with cramps. more people need to actually research on the sport science perspective because it's absolutely huge. we wouldn't always talk about it, either, because sometimes you see girls that have been so consistent, there's a random dip and behind the scenes they've been really struggling. it's like, "what's that? that's random." but it would just do with more funding because... yeah, i feel like if it was a men's issue, they'd have a million different ways to combat things. but with women, there just needs to be more funding in that area. we spoke earlier to kate nicholson, head of insight and innovation at charity women in sport. dina raises a really important issue, and i think there is a huge gap in knowledge and understanding women�*s bodies and sports science.
