REPORTAGE
PL AY LI K E A G I R L
Female athletes have been steadily changing the
face of sport this decade, with more than a few
major wins to add to the honour board: Serena
Williams’ impressive post-baby comeback in a
Black Panther-inspired catsuit (bottom); jockey
Michelle Payne’s history-making Melbourne Cup
victory (below); AFL player Tayla Harris’ now
famous kick (right); Ash Barty’s meteoric rise to
number-one female tennis player in the world; and
the Matildas’ groundbreaking equal pay deal. Play
like a girl? Ride like a girl? Kick like a girl? Hell, yes.
