Since 1912 there’s been a men’s Olympic decathlon, the year is 2026 and there is still no women’s Olympic decathlon. That’s a fact that women around the world are fighting to change through the Women’s Decathlon Championships. The event is in its 4th Annual event and will host more athletes, from more countries, than ever before, including Paris 2024 Heptathlete Camryn Newton-Smith. The Australian multi-event specialist takes us inside the sexism that has long been accepted, what it takes in order to become an elite level decathlete and how we can watch and support this movement that she hopes will see her an Olympic decathlete in her home country in just a few years. 

Watch the event LIVE on Sunday, August 9th on the Women’s Sports Network and follow along @womensdecathlon as the event unfolds from Cleveland, Ohio.

Olympic bronze medalist surfer Johanne Defay has led the field in competitive surfing for the last decade. She has won at the highest level, competed around the world, and now, after 18 months away from competition she’s doing something she’s never done: competing as a new mom. Nearly a year after welcoming her daughter, Kimi, into the world Defay returns to competition at the place she won 11 years ago, Huntington Beach. In this PowHERful Podcast, she and AJ McCord chat about motherhood, the World Surf League’s new maternity wildcard, how Defay helped make it happen and her dreams now as she returns to competition with Kimi by her side.
